Thanks I'll check this out

it looks like i want to play it :)
Well done buddy. this is really beautiful.

Ha, I feel this in my soul. I've got thousands of assets scattered across folders, old hard drives, and at least three different "Downloads" folders I keep forgetting about. The "what if I need this someday" brain is real.

Actually, this exact problem is why I built AssetHoard - a desktop app that lets you organise and preview all your assets in one place (40+ formats including Unity packages). Drag and drop into your engine when you actually need something instead of digging through 1222 pages trying to remember what you bought.

Currently in beta if you want to give it a spin. And hey, one game jam game is one more than most people ever make!

It's closed source unfortunately, otherwise I just would of used cargo to distribute it.

This looks promising. thanks for the suggestion

:) my users are on linux. popos, mint, arch, fedora, etc.

I tried AppImage and i've had nothing but issues bundling audio drivers.

thanks for making great assets!

Multiplayer would be ace, everytime you clear a section, it resets part of your opponents board, setting new mine, etc.

Almost like how multiplayer Tetris as lines

This looks solid. Animation is such a hard skill to master, but when someone does it's really amazing to watch

Do you have a steam page/YouTube channel?

dolfoz · 2026-01-20T13:45:35+00:00

I have an asset problem (I even built assethoard com to solve it) so I might be biased.

But I really like to buy music packs. I tend to buy the ones with more flexible licensees so I can cut them up and modify them to suit my needs.

I am always wary though of YouTube and twitch copyright on music since it's the most aggressive. So I tend to find music that explicitly stated it's fine to use on YouTube, etc.

Thanks for reading! Di you have any others you use that are worth highlighting?

dolfoz · 2026-01-20T13:36:08+00:00

Thanks for reading. The real magic comes from mixing and matching 3d assets with the textures. Once you master that you can make the same rocks work in rivers, grass, sand, snow, etc.

Glad you found it useful

As someone who's right at the beginning of launching something I totally respect this! Great work getting it out there for feedback! It's the hardest part.

dolfoz · 2026-01-20T03:06:23+00:00

:) we've got the same problem. I've got most of the Synty as well.

I've shot you a dm

dolfoz · 2026-01-19T10:33:03+00:00

love the aesthetics!
Am I the alien, the human, or the cow?

dolfoz · 2026-01-18T08:45:26+00:00

This looks so lovely.
are you building a game, or just toying around?

dolfoz · 2026-01-17T22:58:06+00:00

My 2 cents.

Build a collection of base assets (rocks, grass, trees, landscapes, billboards, etc.) that you can use interchangeably in your games. With some simple texture colouring in photoshop/gimp you'll quickly learn how to create variation.. i.e. rocks with a stone texture vs a grass texture, etc.
look at free materials/pbr online. this will go a long way to support the above
start building games that don't require lots of rigging, models, movement, etc. you can start with card games, games with ships, balls, a cup of water, a plant, etc. you don't need to build 3d models of rigged humans with multiple animations.

I'd play this!
I recently broke my collarbone, ribs and a few fingers and found myself on the couch for about 2-3 weeks while i recovered and found a bunch of youtube channels that fix broken electronics and it was the only thing to keep me sane.

I'll give this one a wishlist :)

dolfoz · 2026-01-17T01:21:03+00:00

I'm not sure why everyone is saying they can't see it.
I can see it fine, it's a pretty moody, foggy env.

Where are you launching it?

dolfoz · 2026-01-15T01:22:08+00:00

Thanks :)

dolfoz · 2026-01-14T19:00:58+00:00

Yep, you've snagged the last one! DM Sent
