We’ve made a family of fonts we call Backgroundese for creating nonsense text in your games and other projects.
High resolution sprites for use in your music games and other projects – there are a total of 43 sprites in this pack.
Status Effects are the spice that stops RPGs turning into a boring slugfest. Get inspired with our list of status effects and their synonyms.
We’ve been working on a Pixel Art Platformer Kit as a counterpart to our existing 2D Platformer Pack which uses HD assets.
This idea is a party game for 2-4 players, gathered around one screen, based on drawing and guessing.
We’ve updated our Card Game Graphics Pack with 95 new sprites, more than doubling the original size of the pack!
Retro pixel art RPG Characters for use in your games and other projects. There are a total of 39 characters in the pack, with 12 frames of animation and 1 sprite sheet each for a total of 507 assets.
Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had an excellent holiday season and a good start to 2026. These are challenging times and we want to enter the year with a sense of hope, and a real drive to offer as much as we can to the community.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Festive Season from both of us here at Chequered Ink.

Back in January we set out our plans to make lots of new assets & tutorials, create more fonts and release at least two new games. Find out how we met those goals and more in a journey through everything we did in 2025.
The other day we released updates for several of our web games fixing a pretty critical bug on Android. Here’s how we fixed it, with a code snippet helpfully provided by SnoutUp Games!
If your game has a social aspect, such as high scores or challenges, you may want your players to be able to share their progress on social media. We’ve come up with a convenient script for the job called gm_share.
We’ve added 32 new winter icons to our Inventory Icons Pack, partly as a big thank you for the positive response to our 10,000 Game Assets pack since last week!
