Assets!
I purchased many assets from these folks. You can see their animated night sky in the BG of this page!
I did make the navigation buttons myself, but I took heavy insperation from Lucas.
Background Tiles has a lot of repeating tile sets that are amazing for sites like this!
The Header Background.
Tools!
Gimp is a free and open source alt of Photoshop!
My current tool of choice for making pictures out of tiny squares!
Blender is free and open source 3D modeling software!
Older, but free, 3D modeling software. Perfect for a retro look!
Another 3D modeling tool, this one focused more on renders, scenes, and landscapes! Cheap, fun, easy to use!
A good IDE, and the one primarily used to build this site!
