Warp Door's April 2017 Round Up
The image above is from an hour-long film created by a neural network. The idea is for it to recreate the sense of watching landscapes rush by while looking out a window on a train. There is a game in this selection of games from April quite like it, but instead of a train, it is a bus that you sit upon, watching a city pass by. You can also examine virtual water, jump across boggling platforms assembled from an assortment of Unity assets, and create sculptures out of junk washed up on a beach.
Have a browse through our entire selection below. And if you want to find more convenient collections of games such as this check out our round-up tag.

100 Free Beetles (mkapolk)
"Importing and playing with free assets is fundamentally satisfying, but if you arrange and select your assets in the way they want to be arranged, you end up with a game that's, at best, as milquetoast as the individual assets. 100 Free Assets felt like a very good experiment in reappropriating and recontextualizing those assets in a way that resolved* them somewhat. So I wanted to try doing that, but with more of a compartmental, Noisy Beetle kind of way." - Author's description
