The next genre we're tackling in our quest to make game assets? RPGs - and while making character sprites we decided, why not work on a tool to help you customise your own?? #gamedev #gameassets
RPG Character Creator in Development
Exciting News! As part of our project to release lots of free game assets, we're working on a tool to allow you to create custom characters for your RPGs.

it's (darkly) funny that the tech titans' politics are basically "we have no choice but to end representative government because my employees asked for a slight raise in 2020"

1. Placing these two graphs side by side shows why we have a prisons crisis. They can also be seen as a kind of Authoritarianism Index, showing the trend in state attitudes.
On the left is the Crime Survey for England and Wales.
On the right is the UK prison population.

I'm going to start putting together some free info and resources for indie game devs looking to self-publish. I see a lot of people making simple mistakes, and hear a lot about being overwhelmed by what they need to do.
Do folk have specific self-publishing questions they'd want answered?

I've settled on 400 sounds for the sound pack. Quality over quantity! No point recording 100 more sounds if I'm running out of ideas / equipment to make them with. Gonna clean up the 400 good ones we got now and release them soon! #gamedev

I want to have 500 sound effects in this pack but I've got to 335 and run out of things around the house to record / hit my skill limit on digital sfx. Any ideas for sfx you would like to see in a free game asset pack? #gamedev
Currently recording a bunch of random sound effects around the house so you don't have to. Opening & closing doors, jangling keys, dropping heavy objects into a glass of water. That kind of thing.
