    As an oldtimer in the video game industry, you use placeholders when you start out. Free stuff. Boxes and spheres. Old assets from other games. Then when things come around, you get the artists on board.

      Yep, what I’m saying is that placeholders just got better, that’s all.

            Placeholders is even faster and lesser effort 🤷🏼‍♀️

            Also, if your game isn’t fun without good looking graphics, then that’s a serious problem (IMO), and using placeholder assures that to some extent.
