A low poly "rock" shape, with some funky texture layer stuff making edges have material shading and face centers filled with a grey-white color.
A graph of the distributions of possible outcomes of a particular crisis, where there is a small chance it's really horrible, a small chance it ends up being better in the end, and most likely to be a minor thing, but still negative.
Screenshot of a bank's "Make a Transfer" page, which shows an icon with two arrows, surrounded by a strange lumpy shape.
An image of a cube with buggy shader that makes it look opalescent
A video with a row of 4 mechs marching along a colorful background. In the first half, 1x 2x 3x and 4x pixelated mechs are shown, in the second half, 5x through 8x are shown. The video is set to a sped up version of the classic wedding music, because it was funny.
A rough concept of a #mech walks through a destroyed city, demonstrating a walk cycle and a pseudo-pixel art aesthetic.
A comparison image showing two renders on the infamous Sponza scene with the addition of a vertical grid of spheres, and a checkerboard floor. The top image is labelled "Perceptual Projection" and shows a high-FOV rendering that looks like how your eyes would perceive it, with more weight put towards content in the center of your field of view. This makes large buildings that are far away seem huge, and objects close up appear intimidatingly in your face. The bottom image shows the standard mathematically-correct "linear projection" and is labelled as such. It shows heavy distortion around the edges of the image, and large objects in the center of the field of view appear fish-eyed or tiny.

A note from the developers saying “Thanks for playing!“ with a cute drawing of a chicken
A mech stands against a horde of alien robots about to overwhelm it. A tetromino of rubble flies forward, labelled with the game title: "Guardian of Genesis".
A screenshot showing a Ludum Dare theme suggestion for "Annoying protagonist"
