Another awesome Kenney's update almost out of the oven.
Almost done updating my Graveyard Kit, I've remade every single 3D model in this #gameassets pack. It'll release (probably!) near the end of the week, free for everyone and can be used for any purpose.
Thank you for all your support all these years! ✨

Language support feature I implemented recently (it is not on the main branch yet because I'll only merge everything in a month or two when I release the first level of the game)

2D camera tracking for the Bionic Blue game (open-source public domain serious game project in active development).
Playable content shown isn't available yet, but I hope to release it this month or next one, as soon as it is ready (intro level with a boss fight).

Thank you for your invaluable service to the gamedev community worldwide.
They are well-made enough to be used as final art, but even their usage as placeholder art is already very useful and can save a lot of time and money in both pre-production and production.

In the last decade I've released more than 160 packs of 2D sprites and 50+ packs of 3D models - they're all completely free to use by anyone for anything! Not thinking of stopping anytime soon, it's a lot of fun and the community support is fantastic! ✨

Decided to give To Be Hero X a chance. Just watched the first episode completely blind and I have to say: My Arcane Academia goes hard!
And I say that as a compliment to all 03 shows.

🔥 University professor Pierre Chauvet shared a collection of Python functions/nodes using OpenCV for image processing that can be used in Nodezator (generalist Python node editor). Or used on your own projects.

Quick tip; buying something at the Unity Asset Store? Always search for the name of the assets online, you'll often come across cheaper options like FAB (from the same/original author!)

Decided to add Rust to my toolbelt because of the many interesting and critical problems it solves, so I set out to learn it last month. Here's what I managed to do so far (it is barely a prototype though).

This kind of post is an awesome initiative from Mr. Ismail. You all should reply to it with your current work as well and share his post so more can find it.
It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity.
