The Graveyard of Game Assets: A Plea for Reuse

Game developer Garry Newman recently posted about the wasted potential of assets from failed games. Many games, despite years of development, fail to achieve commercial success, leading to their abandonment. Newman highlights the significant amount of high-quality sound effects, models, and animations that are simply discarded. He proposes a solution: developers with unused assets from defunct projects should consider sharing them for reuse in platforms like Garry's Mod or S&box, giving these assets a new life and preventing waste.
