We're getting so many spam/marketing emails these days and one common factor they all have is the scripts they're using only support a single name with no spaces. So they all say like "We're interested in your company Chequered." and it's like yeah, so interested you can't even add the "Ink" 🤷

Did you know you can easily mix and match our game assets with those from other artists like Kenney? We designed our assets in a similar simple style to make it easier for people to use a wide variety of assets from different places & still make consistent looking games! #GameDev
A screenshot of a platformer level using mostly Chequered Ink's platforming assets. It shows a jungle-like level at night time with some tree platforms, a crab enemy and a wasp. Kenney's assets are highlighted as if selected in a graphics design program. They are an alien character, a waving blue flag and a pink slime enemy.
