Shallow Thinking Games

It's the end of the month and it'd be nice to round it out with a few more sales if you fancy some nice commercial-use textures for your projects! Rivets n Rust evokes 90s base maps, Downtown Dystopia's a bit more modern urban. Both packs include a commercial use license for game devs but you can just as easily use them for your Quake maps or what have you.

You can get these packs from my Itch page!

I hit a small sales milestone on my itch store recently, so in celebration I posted a little update to my free texture pack Brutal Base with a new selection of authentic upcycled early 2000s assets.

Forgot I haven't posted this promo shot here yet! I installed NetRadiant Custom the other week and slapped some brushes down for the first time in a long time. It had some peculiarities compared to the various older Radiant forks that I'm more used to, but for the most part the flow came back really fast and I only needed to look a couple of things up.

There's a lot to be said for building world geometry in a tool that was specifically designed for that, rather than a more generalist 3D program. Interestingly NetRadiant Custom adds some extra tools that are more like a full 3D package, but integrates them in a sensible way and preserves what was there. Apart from removing the Z-axis pane which I will never stop being mad about :D

Aaaaaaaaanyway... This isn't a complete map, just a handful of rooms/atria I built to demo my resurrected vintage texture set Rivets n Rust which is 300+ environment textures for a measly eight bucks with a commercial use license.
