I got another idea for horror, Sand and gravle to bones. Lots of little bones
Just for gravel. You want to be subtle, else the horror becomes cheesy. Sand could have some red flecks that look like sand, but leave the nagging feeling that it isn't
Alright guys, I attempted making a signature with some help from MrGame. Its not great, I found it quite difficult to get in screenshots of the game, along with some information on what BtPFtP was, and cram it all into a space that sould fit in a signature without people having to scroll. So here it is:
If anyone is up to the task of making their own BtPFtP signature, please do, it would help a lot.
For those of you who actually think this looks half decent, go ahead and make it your signature to help spread the word!
Thanks all.
Edit: For some reason I feel the need to point out the fact that he's holding a pencil in the second screenshot. MrGame came up with that, neat huh?
Please note @ everyone who will be doing this that sites like that^ are for inspiration only. Do not take premade textures and simply resize them :/
Are we going to do a 32x32 or 16x16?
Thank you, Lilyo. All textures will be 16x16.
Okay. 16x16 is a lot easier. I can defiantly work with that. Shall all the items be the same? because if we end up having very-dark-red stone, it would not make sense to have normal grey stone tools. I also think no matter what we vote on, the color of ores should be the same. Have you ever tried to retexture iron?? It is ****** annoying! you have to re-color the ore, solid block, the bar, all the tools, the armor icons, the actual armor skins,iron doors, and more!
lol blood for redstone would be wicked.
anyhow, hopefully this won't be totally made by everyone,because then it would turn out into something noone wants.
oh i dont like this,bohoo i want it all like this.
Well if people don't like the way it turns out, they can change it, it's that simple.
I put in my vote. I don't really care which one it turns out to be, I just want to participate
I'd just like to see something that would actually stick to the theme of the game. I don't see how horror would fit in that well + it's been done a shitload of times :/
I believe everyone is stoked for horror because of Halloween, and with the update coming soon.
I wouldn't mind doing a horror right now, and maybe a couple weeks later we could do the mountains.
Agreed. I cast my vote for rocky northern mts, but I will be pleased whether or not that or horror will win. I just think i have seen too many wasteland, fallout, or nightmare themes -- therefore i chose the mountains. But maybe this will be a hardcore type thing where the grass is stained with blood and the leaves have eyeballs in them. that would be cool (:
i quite like the tourches but as a note i think for ease this should be a 16x16 pack just so all ideas are the same resolution.
Oh right I almost forgot to mention that. All textures will be 16x16. Since it's the default size, and it's smaller. It will be easier for everyone to work on and install and use. So that's not gonna be put up for vote.
At some point, perhaps we can make a collaborative 32x32 pack. But for now, I would very much like it if we could all be submitting 16x16, thanks.
Shouldnt we just have a vote on that ? ... like, i made a 16x16 pack and sofar i had 2 responses to it, since the texture fix i think most people that use tex-mods go for higher resolution, and since it's block by block by various artists the workload isnt realy that much of a problem *shrug* ... so i would suggest a vote on the resolution (16x, 32x, 64x, 128x, 256x ) after we 'nailed' a theme ...
I'm choosing 16x16 because it's something everyone is familiar with, and it's easy for people who are not regularly doing any sort of pixel art to join in and contribute, which is what this is mostly about, rather than the result.

if we have this many posts every vote this forum is going to get so long.
Every vote after this is going to be 1 day long. Since this decides everything for the project, it's the longest. I wanted to shorten it but that's not possible, so apologies for the long voting process. Others will go by much faster.
Still no reason to decide for 16x , i mean, maybe the people prefer 32x ... we can simply find out by doing a poll right ? so its not going to be BtPFtP res. decided on by OP ... :tongue.gif:
Alright alright, that's just another poll before we can get started though :/ But if people want to, then as soon as a theme is decided I will post a poll asking if people want 16x16 or 32x32. Should i throw in any higher resolutions?
You can't just take a 16x16 pack and magically make it higher resolution >_>
You'd have to edit the whole thing to actually make it 32x32 or else it will still just be 16x16 pixels.
I vote 16x16. No one will do it if it's 32x32 + chances are that all the people except pixel artists will just resize images. Just leave it 16x16.
I'll probably contribute to this, as long as the pack isn't too bad (and I'm expecting it to be, seeing how a collaboration will mean different style, which probably won't go well with each other). How are we going to decide which texture to use, if people submit more than 1 for 1 type of block? Are we gonna vote in a poll or should we have judges? (I'll judge if you want me to)
Replace all dirt with sand except on the innermost inland areas.
Make sand extend down further under the shoreline that it currently does. Seriously. Realistic beaches would be appreciated.
Add exotic mushrooms that are bigger than their counterparts, hanging vines that aren't climbable, etc.
I can't think of anything else.
BUT TROPICAL IS BEST. Too many Post Apocalyptic packs anyway, and Survival Horror isn't that far off the same mark.

I am dissapoint.

I vote we just have judges.
