this is the way

sadly people dont look at release dates, so a reminder is often necessary lol

This way If you forget to take out your doodle place holder, we can all have a good laugh

Someone might even like it, and it will be a problem for the rest of the art direction. As a rule of thumb, a placeholder asset must be good enough to understand what it represents and bad enough to see it as placeholder.

Of course, I did this in college and I'm certainly not doing it any different now.

Finding the most vaguely appropriate random image on my desktop is also a blast (requires the user to not use AI in the first place)

I use random scribbles/character doodles. If you look at Undertale Toby Fox used a collision box that is just a square with sketchy circles inside. You never see the collision boxes because they are in lower layers, but it is neat, and it is also roughly what I do. 😅

I’m in a lancer campaign and have yet to make an icon for my mech to use online. So I literally just sent them a png of the sniper from tf2 as a placeholder and it’s so funny

ASCENDED: Using assets packs you brought on Itch that do not use AI.

My opinion of Skullgirls improved after seeing MSpaint placeholders.

I use pictures of Soggy Cat as placeholders in my game

What about red text on white background saying stuff like "WOOD TEXTURE"?

Also an option: using photos of your cat as placeholders

broke : using mspaint doodles as placeholder in your game woke : using mspaint doodles as final assets in your game
