I've made 2 packs with 100 diffuse textures each, they're free to download and use wherever!

Pack 1: epicmcdude.itch.io/100-photo-te...

Pack 2: epicmcdude.itch.io/100-diffuse-...

These are game-ready seamless and horizontally tiled textures, as well as some decals. I used these on my own game.

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit

You're free to use them for anything, even commercially. I tried to focus on details not usually represented in available reference material

Here's a small sampling:

A closeup view of an ornate cuirass and tasset, showing heart-shaped designs along the edges of the metal panels.

An extremely ornate ceremonial halberd head showing etched and blackened designs with various plants, mythical creatures, and heraldic designs.

A closeup of the shoulder intersection of the cuirass, pauldron, and bevor of a piece of 1500s field armor. Some ornate etching of the crucifixion is visible in the lower right corner on the cuirass.

My favorite one, definitely putting a medieval handcannon in the game!

Luís G. Bento @epicmcdude.bsky.social · 4d

Went to the national military museum, lots of WW1 and medival equipment/weaponry.
Stielhandgranate is way bigger than I thought, the scale in movies and games really doesn't do it justice

small game update - I'm starting to feel early burnout and since I still need to cook for a year or two I'm going to take it easy with development for the next couple of weeks at least

This is not the most effective way to moderate a steam forum. This just gives trolls what they want, attention and reaction from you.

Post clear pinned rules on what gets a ban.

Delete trash, Ban easy, place nothing in the 'why you were banned' message.

Trolls get nothing.

Thanks to the 379 people who are currently keeping noclip_2 running. We need at least twice as many as that by the end of the month to keep it in the green so if you value the types of game we cover, please help us out.

Ctrl Alt Ego is one of the most freeform games in the genre. Set in a very 60s/70s British sci-fi future made of cheap plastic and exposed electronics, you're a ghost conciousness hopping between robot bodies.

Very physics-driven with MANY solutions to each problem. Huge replay value. Sequel in dev

Thank you! This game is all about leasons learned.
hindsight is 20/20 of course, but I really was naive with what I thought I could accomplish with the time and money that I had, at least it was an indispensable learning experience

Luís G. Bento @epicmcdude.bsky.social · 17d

YES!! Finally some good color grading for the game

Luís G. Bento @epicmcdude.bsky.social · 17d

You just unlocked some repressed memories of BF3 holy shit

I wrote up a longer thing about Corpus Edax. I liked it. If you like physical comedy and immersive sims and throwing things at jerks, you may like it too.

He totally got the game's strengths and weaknesses and what it shines at - chaotic improvised janky combat. I really wish I hadn't gotten burnout and be 1 bad day away from not paying rent or food by the end of development, but maybe one day I'll return to the update I was doing

The one good part of being an adult is that I can make the conscious decision of spending my free time playing Wheelman
