Are you aware that I'm Tommy Brunn? If not, this is kind of a funny coincidence. :awesome:

Brilliant! I've tweeted it too.

EDIT: When I saw the title, I actually thought, oh here we go again, spam; you know, with "nice X" and then all capitals, it looked like a spam candidate, he he he.

Ahaha, this is exactly what I tried to do with UnLöve. Brilliant article. I'm gonna add it to the wiki if it's not there.
Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.

Speaking of placeholder art, I was actually going to create a full LÖVE-Themed set of artwork for use on LÖVE projects. A tile-set for each of the most common views, platformer, and orthogonal.

The idea was to make attractive artwork so pretty much any demo would look nice, and clean. I'll probably take some time and work on this if the demand is high enough. I probably wouldn't go too over-board with it, but it would definitely be a nice resource for any new programmers who have no art skills.
