>I thought using assets was cheating, so I made my own in Blender using textures I found online. I then thought using textures was cheating, so I started to make my own in photoshop. I then thought that using a program to make anything was cheating, so I learned how to paint and carve sculptures out of wood. I then thought that using store-bought paint and wood was cheating, so I learned to make my own. So I went to the lumberyard and cut some nice blocks of wood for my models. I then thought buying lumber was cheating, so I grew my own trees. I also think that is cheating, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I haven't made any games lately, and it'll be at least 10 more years before I can chop those trees down.
