Let’s collect together resources that might be useful to folks for the jam. Post more below!
The “lo-fi sci-fi” aesthetic is common in the Mothership RPG community as well, so here are a few popular sites and tools from that community.
- Playscii: “Playscii is an open source ASCII art, animation, and game creation program. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS.”
- NEWT Blueprint Builder: Map drawing tool modeled after the look of the Nostromo computers
- Dungeon Scrawl: “Dungeon Scrawl is a mapping tool developed by Keir, aka @ProbableTrain. It aims to be an easy-to-grasp tool with a high skill ceiling, empowering artists by automatically taking care of the most time-consuming stuff.” Includes spaceship styles.
- Starship Geomorphs: “Hundreds of detailed deck plan geomorphs for creating starships, space stations, starports, or buildings.” All in the style of the Traveller RPG.
- Atomic Rockets: “Sample Scifi Universe” with a ridiculous amount of resources.
- Retro Battlestations: Old-school computer rigs (subreddit)
- Photomosh: “PhotoMosh lets you glitch images, videos and webCam using WebGL effects. Save output as image, GIF or video.”
