I made a point of using almost no original assets to build this site, which means it's one big collage of creative commons, public domain, and otherwise free-to-use work. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the folks in the list below, who have generously shared their work to be used in one way or another.

By and large I've chosen to use 3d renders and ~game asset art throughout this website. As I started slapping images together, I fell in love with the ~90's/00's RPG UI that emerged. These pieces remind me of games like Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout, and Pathologic, which are simultaneously eerie and comforting to me in the way they chose to stylize themselves. So, shoutout to people here who are doing that work, in this age of hyperrealism. You're keeping the spirit aliiiive.

Wermz belong to 0blivion, and are part of a forum game about scrappy little ferret beasts scavenging in a lonely wasteland. This site would not exist without it; it's been a wonderful place to decompress and goof around, and I've been having a blast writing absurd lore for the little pixel weasels. Check it out here!

Yeah yeah yeah ok, digital collaging and text and (some) art by 1ore / m0r1bund, whatever. Sincerely, thank you for making it this far?? Like I said up there, this is just for my own fun. But if it's peripherally amusing to anyone else, then I guess that's a plus :)
