Matthew L. Hornbostel

I'm an eccentric digital artist, video creator, indie game dev. 

I've made over 3000 asset files available here so far:

-Thousands of texture maps, PBR seamless high-res photo based textures perfect for 3d texturing.

-Over 150 decals and texture overlays.

-Over 500 3d models, assets in .FBX, .OBJ formats.

-Over 100 VFX video elements

-Thousands of additional assets in the works, to be added in the next 12 months.

Sometimes these asset packs are all bundled together in sales for 90+% off. (Under $3) 

That usually happens on holidays like those listed in the top of this profile.

It often includes a bunch of upcoming things arriving in about the next year, i.e. preorders.

You can buy a bundle in 2024 and download the enormous amount of material already released and included, then return once every month or two and check for additional updates included with the bundle you already bought. 

The next bundle sale is Thanksgiving 2024 / Autumn Sale, and all of the bundle content will be priced at $1.59 at that time. 

MY MAJOR SITES:

Some game dev projects have teaser sites already even if much remains to do before they can be released. You can find those links sometimes on the game listings here. Teaser sites usually go live 12-15 months before release, and redesigns with more media and Steam/Epic page links, about 30-40 days prior to release. Two such sites (Crowdsourced Adventure) and (Astounding Worlds) might see big redesigns of this type *very* soon. A new site - HornbostelGames.com - is also in the works as a summary of games and assets across multiple storefronts beyond itch.io.

Other games will follow. A collection of experimental minigames, Miniature Multiverse, Miniature Minigolf, etc, all ideally by mid 2025. Given recent encouraging growth here I'm going all in on game dev and asset creation now and you should see an uptick in the rate of major updates in the next few months. 

I also have run an eBay, and Etsy shop and a WordPress based shop [HornbostelProductions.com]. The first two took off for a while with hundreds of glowing reviews but the third never went anywhere. 

In the end, refunds demanded by customers for various reasons both legitimate (damaged packages in transit) and suspect, made sustaining physical product sales difficult. Trying to raise prices to compensate only made expectations higher, and reviews and sale volume weaker, so ultimately despite a number of wonderful customers in the mix, it just has not been worth it overall. Some people tended to abuse a generous refund policy, threatening negative reviews if not refunded. My inclination now is to focus fully on digital products which means things will begin moving way faster here starting right now (November 2024).

Thanks for reading, feel free to browse the links posted here, or the various project pages to the right ->

I'm still adding updates to the asset packs for all of you, and making steady progress on game dev work.

If you've bought any of my asset packs, be sure to keep them up to date, and I'd love it if you would rate / review my material here as I have worked very hard to make all of this!

Hope you have a great day!
