New followers (👋) so little introduction; for the past 10+ years I've been releasing public domain game assets to support indies & students. You can donate, but it's totally optional. I hope to continue supporting our industry for many more years to come, thanks for your follow/support! kenney.nl

Little Troubles in Spooky Town is free to play in your browser, as a download or on mobile. No silly stuff, just a totally free game. 👻

Little Troubles in Spooky Town is out now! ✨ Check out the tiny adventure game I've made during #GirlyGameJam, I hope you'll enjoy it! kenney.itch.io/little-troub...

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮

I do think it's important to have competition, especially Steam needs proper competition. However, this ain't it chief

Little heads-up for those that don't know; you can now add links to your profile! Really good for listing what you're making!

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Already working through them. All work in progress but going to add wheel input, guitar, N64, missing joystick, missing keyboard keys etc. Update soon!

Input Prompts is the largest collection of glyphs covering a wide range of input devices and platforms. It's also completely free and public domain. 🎮 I want it to be even better though so looking for feedback; what's missing? what can be improved? kenney.nl/assets/input...

Expanding my 'Mini Market' pack a bit, it'll contain more retail objects and even a self-checkout plus older models get a little refresher. Will release November 2nd! You can already get the current version here (free): kenney.nl/assets/mini-...

it’s my birthday today 😌 if you want to do something nice for me today please consider giving a dollar to The Base Mesh: www.thebasemesh.com base 3D models for games, professionally made… it’s an invaluable resource to me and i tell all my students about it! support & love for asset creators 🎉🎂🍰❤️

thebasemesh.comThe Base Mesh | 100% Free CC0 Assets- 3D Models - TheBaseMesh - Every model adheres to real-world scale and comes with basic UVs, so you can get to making those all-important creative decisions faster.

My plushie is finally arriving at people's homes, and it's been great to see how impressed everyone is with the quality! Youtooz absolutely nailed it. 🙇‍♂️ I'll be giving away plushies (I have a tiny stock) soon!

Anyway, New game assets! ✨ Tiny City contains 130 tiles and works great with my previous (also free) Tiny-series of packs. Feel free to use this in your games, no need for attribution or permission because it's all yours. Download: kenney.nl/assets/tiny-...

I've added a small solid half-tile in there which you can use to create these shadows. In my example I just drew those tiles on a seperate layer and lowered the opacity of the layer. Tiled is what I always use for these examples and is something I would massively recommend (free): www.mapeditor.org

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

I've been pretty locked-in last couple of weeks, here's what to expect! Lots of new game assets with the first releasing tomorrow, free updates for my existing games & software and a long awaited successor 👀

Over at the other platform I'm being called a retard, gay, my art stinks and I never accounted for anything. By the hundreds. I'm not particularly bothered, half of these things aren't insults to me. Just a little glimpse of what happens when you challenge what's been made to look like the norm.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

FYI this post made a billionaire angry on the other platform, that should make you feel better.

Small request for people that have used Asset Forge; show me what you've made! I'm working on a successor (free update, dw) and need to know what kind of models to focus on!

Normal companies spend months in meetings, strategy sessions, market research, stakeholder discussions and board approvals before making a major business decision. Me: hm maybe Kenney Shape should be free lol

Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) ✨ Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects! kenney.itch.io/kenney-shape

If you're curious about the app; it allows you to draw in 2D using shapes, apply depth and then it'll generate a 3D model for you! A great tool for quickly creating basic models.

People often ask if I'm just 1 person or a team; let me introduce the team!

In all seriousness, they're cute, but they don't really contribute much to the studio's productivity, so I'll be giving them away in the near future! 🎁

Everytime one of my games fails Steam Deck verification I feel bad for the tester who was probably like "...this idiot, now I have to screenshot and put a red box around it in Paint and show him". I'm truly sorry, Steam testers.

I saw this video on Reddit of DuneCrawl, which uses my Asset Forge for sketching. I love it, in fact, I loved seeing this so much that it gave me a lot of inspiration. Big plans for Asset Forge, hopefully will already be able to share soon. redd.it/1x2fy0r

A new update for #MakeRoom is coming soon adding enhanced camera controls (based on community feedback) and full undo/redo functionality! 🔙

Making a ton of assets and want to make sure they fit together? Here's a tip; re-use elements between objects. It's the quickest and easiest way to make sure things look related. 💡 (Mini Shop assets coming soon, btw)
