Dropping Synty
Decided we're not going to use a Synty pack anywhere in Former Heroes. Seemingly a big decision - it means create, or source and normalise, all our own game assets. Three reasons:
- Not at all happy with how it looks and it's awkward to re-skin.
- Their AI-related licensing restrictions make it awkward to talk about what we're doing.
- It'll take time but already I think we'll make better assets.
This decision has been on our mind for a while. TBH I'm grateful to Synty's IMO dumb licence restrictions for forcing our hand. Madness that we even considered letting a $30 Synty pack have any influence on our game or marketing at all.
