Shadow Of The Colossus Texture Pack (Alpha 3)

Alpha 3 is up. Updates include:
- ataraxic's mask for cloth helmet
- new main menu background
- updated GUI for dispenser
- ataraxic's swords (diamond Sword Of Light, gold Queen's Sword, sweet iron sword)
- new pumpkin overlay to match the bequerel pumpkin
- sheep wool is now white (because colorizing is used on the wool model, and it assumes that the wool is white.)
- ataraxic's iron ore, bookshelves, remade cobblestone,
- beta 1.2 support: sandstone, dyed cloth, lapiz lazuli, good looking note blocks, dispensers, new tree stumps, the rest are copied and pasted from minecraft.jar.

Shadow of the colossus is my favorite game of all time, so I decided to bring a little bit of the artistic spirit of that game into Minecraft with the Shadow Of The Colossus texture pack! It's 16 x 16, so you don't need any modding to install it. It's currently WIP, as I intend to reskin nearly every aspect of the game to closely mimic Fumito Ueda's masterpiece (EDIT: except where it looks ugly or doesn't make sense for Minecraft. I am willing to sacrifice accuracy for playability.)

Criticisms and suggestions are welcome. I hope you enjoy playing with this as much as I enjoyed making it :biggrin.gif:

Here, some updated screenshots:

I would use it!

I would use this, too.

I love Shadow of the Colossus.

I would say, whats taking so long? Post it as a winrar Zip!

bloody brilliant!

this pack could be so much better in 32px to get that sweet detailing of the patterns in the rock.

but its looking great in anycase, keep up the great work.

p.s. i dont think the dirt looks right, but thats just me i suppose, it seems TOO much like sand.

I know exactly what you mean about the dirt, I toned down the cracks in between the dirt clods thinking it needed to be smoother. I end up agonizing about these little details sometimes...

The reason it's 16px^2 is so I can enter it in the texture pack contest (and win!) I like the idea scaling things back up to 32px after the contest is over.

I think I'll post the WIP pack here so all yall can test it out... (hold on a sec let me dig this out of various things... AAAAAAANNDDD DONE, SEE ABOVE.)

and i like the sound of it being upsized after the contest :smile.gif:

if you upload a test pack i could give some more criticisms after seeing it in game.

Awesome.
Even trough I never played Shadow of Colossus, this is awesome and I would totally use it.

Then you are missing out on half of what live really means.

Other half is hookers and blow, but we will go into that lesson for another day.

SoC is a very good game, but the traveling in the game is incredibly long and dull. But the boss fights (the only fights), are deliciously amazing.

looks great!

How do you get the swords and bows that are in the first screen shot?

BEST SKIN EVAARRR

Dude this texture pack is beast I just tried it out. Sure some of the things like the flower etc is still basic, it looks beastly. Reminds me of playing a lara croft game or something

Sweet Texture pack :biggrin.gif:

SOTC is one of the best games ive ever played

Very nice. And it's in 16x16 to boot.

Thanks for your support everyone. I had to stop working on this for a week or two because work was asking me to work weekends. Now the deadline for the Webhallen contest is coming up and it's all texturing from here, baby. I won't be sleeping for awhile.

Lemme attach some screenshots real quick...

I have decided to leave my pack unfinished, but in a presentable state for the contest. You can try it out here:

Man, 6am is a *****. I was up all night trying to sprint this for the contest. I thought maybe I had a little more time to add more content, but in the end I decided it wasn't worth it to kill myself trying to win this. To be honest, I wouldn't mind not winning, the stuff I sprinted on last night came out amazing :biggrin.gif: I hope you guys will enjoy this pack as much as I enjoyed making it.
