Dear Texture Pack Browsers and Forum goers,
I have started a new texture pack. The name is CrescentCraft. I was wondering if you guys think it is release worthy. I want to know your opinion of the texture pack! What can be improved? What do you like? What do you dislike? Much of it is unfinished, I've only done these few textures. Also, I plan to redo the sticky piston. So look at the pictures, and tell me what you think :smile.gif:
No. And how how could steam limit his creativity. It's not like they've even added anything worth while into the game since they debuted it. Sure we've gotten a couple little things here and there but nothing spectacular. The game should not have been released yet. Is is missing sooooo much.

Quote from "Notch" »
At PAX, I got asked why we’re not on Steam with Minecraft, and I had to answer the question straight out for the first time. So I’ll repeat what I said on here, because openess is awesome.
Steam is the best digital distribution platform I’ve ever seen. I’ve spent incredible amounts of money on it, and I own a crazy amount of games on it. It runs great, offers great services like that shift+tab stuff, and it remembers my credit card details so there’s no barrier for me when I want to buy a game. The only downside I can think of is that offline mode is a bit flimsy, and that the game list is sometimes full off DLC releases for stuff I don’t even own, and those are some tiny complaints!
But..
Being on Steam limits a lot of what we’re allowed to do with the game, and how we’re allowed to talk to our users. We (probably?) wouldn’t be able to, say, sell capes or have a map market place on minecraft.net that works with steam customers in a way that keeps Valve happy. It would effectively split the Minecraft community into two parts, where only some of the players can access all of the weird content we want to add to the game.
We are talking to Valve about this, but I definitely understand their reasons for wanting to control their platform. There’s a certain inherent incompatibility between what we want to do and what they want to do.
So there’s no big argument, we just don’t want to limit what we can do with Minecraft. Also, Steam is awesome. Much more awesome than certain other digital distribution platforms that we would NOT want to release Minecraft on.
Notch has said he won't because it would limit his creativeness and abilities to add things to minecraft. I think that is a good decision not to have it on steam :smile.gif:
Have em all there in case someone wants different one :tongue.gif:
Nice :smile.gif:
BTW: on thing I would do is put code boxes with the code you would put in your signature under each banner so people can do it easily. That would be cool :smile.gif:
I feel great about this. It seems that over time Jeb has started adding more interesting features, and notch has been more bug fixing. I feel Minecraft will do well in Jebs hands!
Congrats, Jeb!!

Also, I don't want to advertise on someone else's thread, but I wanted to show you this :smile.gif:. You inspired me to start a X16 texture pack. I haven't released it yet. Link: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1044167-new-texture-pack-public-opinion-poll/

I don't plan to release it until it's done :smile.gif: (Or very close)

What do you think?
The only thing I would change would be the transparent parts of the GUI. If you took those away it would look great :smile.gif:
