Telltale Games

Hello!

This one is for the developers, and is probably a Telltale Tool-global question instead of a SBCG4AP-specific one:

If I play SBCG4AP (currently only the Demo, will probably buy the first episode after finishing SnM Season 2) on the big screen in the living room (which works nicely with a wireless mouse, although I'm thinking of getting a Wiimote for my Lappy), it would be nice if I could somehow turn up the font size for the on-screen subtitles of people talking (and probably also the "hover" help texts when you hover over an object).

Would it be hard to implement something like that or is it even possible now? I suppose it's this way already for the Wii version (although I've never played it), and I don't know how closely related the PC and Wii codebases are. Would be nice if we could have it for PCs, too, though.

Thanks,
Thomas

Oh, and here are some links to related posts I just found:

Guybrush Threepwood: "[...]but SBG4AP just had big, generic-font writing[...]"
http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/...ight=font+size

The second isn't really the same as my request, but it shows that having "computer screen" and "TV" font sizes would be nice.

We tried the game in a lot of configurations and felt that the font size we landed on (probably 2x the size of the Sam & Max subtitle font) was good enough. I will give it another look, but it's realistically probably not something we will be changing mid-season.

The font is fairly small on the Wii version too... :/

I think the fonts are fine.

What about the Blubbo's Whale?

I have to admit that the blubbo whale is confusing, but strong bad's sassy comment always explains what the whale is saying.
