Things you need to know:
- All files must be saved in .PNG format
- All files and folders names should follow the naming rule (refer to Here (http://ourtranscendence.com/forum/index.php?topic=5.0))
- Keep an .psd version of your work (at least until the chapter is released).
- It is strongly suggested that you have a mediafire or megaupload account, so that your files will not be deleted.
- Don't forget to add the Recruitment and Credits page (if it is not already added by the cleaner).
- At the bottom of the last page in every chapter, type in the notice "To read and download the next chapter of [PROJECT NAME], visit www.ourtranscendence.com!" using the font Neucha.
Two VERY important note:
-Please set your text to "smooth" because it kills people's eyes when they are set as strong, etc.
-Also before saving to PNG format make sure that your text layers are all above the leveling layers. Why? Well because they affect the texts too! In some of the chapters the words look over-leveled (kills the eyes).
-The standard regular speech: Wildwords.
For small-text: Augie, but you may choose any font that's easy to read.
For small/medium SFXs: Completely up to you.
For a Emphasis/scream : Wildwords Bold Italic.
-For SFX translations of uncloned SFX: 'Comic Book Commando' font
-All Pages, Stamps, Tools needed can be found under "Staff Corner" in the forum.

Kriten ITC looks really good for small text
um...how do you put the font into photoshop?
Here's something I picked up that's foolproof:
1. Download font file(s) of choice
2. Unzip file and drag the font file to your desktop
3. Open your C Drive and find the Microsoft folder (if you have Windows)
You might need to override the security setup (ie. files in this folder is hidden)
4. Open the font folder and drag the font file from the desktop into it. Close folder.
The font you have added should then appear in Photoshop. I'm not exactly 100% thorough with the explanation since I'm on a work computer and not my own. Once the procedure is done, you can delete the file that's on the desktop and your download file.
Something to take notes of:
Please set your text to "smooth" because it kills people's eyes when they are set as strong, etc. I have read many releases where the words are not set as smooth and I seriously have no clue what the QCer was doing.
Also before saving to PNG format make sure that your text layers are all above the leveling layers. Why? Well because they affect the texts too! In some of the chapters the words look over-leveled (kills the eyes). Again I have no idea what the QCer was doing.
Typesetting might seems easy but if you don't pay attention you will make those silly annoying mistakes. >.>
I had to give out my opinion because it's not just 1, 2, 3 or 4 but around 10 or more chapters like that.
Here is a very good page to look at and to see how to split the words right.
