Recognize your limitations

Disaster Duck 2
A downloadable game

It's important to recognize things you are, or are not good at.  I am ok at pixel art, simple things I can get away with.  But I have been unable to find something good that sticks with this game.  And instead of spending more time trying, it's OK to use other people's assets.  This website has a huge library of assets and I found many that fit the style we are looking for.

I keep wrestling with this as I want to do everything myself, but coming to grips with my limitations is very important for not getting frustrated and sidelined during development.  I need to keep reminding myself that there's a HUGE library of fantastic artists out there with assets being sold that I can use in my game that look great!
