Dear sound effect and music asset creators;
Please stop using generative AI for your thumbnails. You're putting a giant label on your work that gives the impression it's low effort slop, even when the actual content might be excellent stuff!

My lovely girlfriend helped compile a list of which of my game assets are available where. The goal is to make sure they're all on my website, but also Itch.io and OpenGameArt.org as back-ups and if my site ever goes offline. Lots of work ahead! 💪

Today in AI is great and you should love it;
Some bots are having a fabricated discussion on one of my open-source Starter Kits talking about files that simply do not exist, the game wasn't even written in Python.

Thank you for all the kind comments this week on the plushie, MakeRoom update and game assets update. It was a ton of work, I'm just by myself and never had the chance to expand my studio (I guess that happens when you give away 90% for free lol) so your support means a lot 🙇‍♂️

I'm having second thoughts, maybe it's not a good idea to print a 60,000 page book. 😂 Instead, you can just download my assets digitally - all free!

Quick update on my city project; I've started with buildings. Very boring still right now but will be improved upon, every building in the city will be unique.
Also, someone vandalized my car so that's something I now have to deal with instead of doing fun work like this. Ugh.

Sneak peek at my city project. I want to release a complete city (Vice City-sized, roughly) as a public domain asset for use in games.

I'm working on an update to the Cube Pets I released last week since I wasn't completely satisfied 😥

Would be cool if someone would model a whole stylized city in chunks and release it as CC0 so developers can use that and make multiple games all take place in the same city.
(subtle foreshadowing 👀)
