It's funny to me when people apologize for not being artists when they've produced actually nice looking art. It's like a host saying "excuse the mess" when entering their nearly immaculate home.

I wish I had kept some of my game development experiments because then I could show you what actual bad art looks like!

I should have included a disclaimer -- I agree that textures and sprites are excellent, but they come from asset packs (for this same reason I cannot redistribute them in the source release). Only the crossbow placeholder is self-made.

I don't have any issue with paid asset packs, I would gladly build the entire game with third-party art, but there is only so much of it in the necessary style, resolution and quality.
