Just had some idea's. snow = ash! cant think of anything to replace ice though... and musical blocks = metal drum of some sorts? on a separate note however,anyone else think there should be an external forums specific to this pack?
I had planned on that initially but wasn't sure if I'd end up doing it. I thought it might make things a bit toooo dark. However I am still playing with the idea. If snow fall ever returns it would be nice to have embers falling. As far as the external forum.. that would be nice heh.

Day 2 of my story is out! This day is very intresting, and explains alot of the weapons, and animals. However, I cannot write more stories, without some refrence materials.
I will be reading that as soon as I am able (tonight probably). As I said on your thread, I will shoot a link to your story when I update the OP. I also plan to add the official extended lore to the fan art section of the forums once I have it all together. I should hopefully be posting a few picture tonight. I finished the rest of the GUI's last night and I have been working primarily on the item sprites.
EDIT: for the sake of showing something.
"iron pick axe" in progress
I'm not sure what I like most about this pack: The artistry or the back story. I love it when people get involved in their creations. Makes me want to use the pack and continue the story in my mind.

~What a Horrible Night to have a Custom Texture Pack
Really, drill and cutter gave me story some inspiration. Day 3 is out. HUGEEE wall of text, but I put my best effort into it. I have alot of inspiration to keep me going for a week now.
yesteday and today have been / will be fairly busy for me. So I figured I was post a few mob faces that havn't been seen yet.
From left to right.
1. The Lost. When the Cocoon were opened many people stowed away on the ships headed to them and tried to gain access. The had not anticipated that the cocoons would have such tight security. After trying to sneak in, break in, tunnel in and anything else they could think of they gave up and went on to build the scrap shacks so they could have some form of shelter. As the years past the radiation to its affect turning them into sickly mutations of men.
2.This has most commonly been know as The Hall Monitor. It was created by Orbital Industries to help keep order within the cocoons while maintaining a friendly demeanor.
3. Giant Rats. This is your primary source of food in the wastes.
I am going to edit this post later to polish this lore... I just wanted to get something up here before I head out today.

dude its just so awsome that you can come up with this lore its great i love the ideas so the lost are.... zombies, Giants rats.... PIGS ofc but what mob did the hall monitor replace? ghast? spider?
spider, sorry i forgot to clarify... and you are right about the others
Heres the skin i will be using for this new dark world. Its actualy one ive been using for some time now but I think it will work. anyone else got some skin ideas?

The sheer idea of such a pack is enough for me to love it. I love it so much, in fact, that I will try to contribute to it. Mind if I toss around a few ideas?
Ghasts could be some variation of the Observation Drones, heavily armed and durably built. Possibly sent to guard whatever the Nether will turn out to be--perhaps some sort of safe haven? considering the rest of the story. Or they might have once served a more combat-centered purpose as some sort of giant sentry in the war?
The Zombie Pigmen might be a generation resulting from a band of survivors, albeit slightly mutated and affected by radiation, that found their way into the realm and managed to survive. This may explain their (mostly) passive nature towards the player--they're both mostly human.
Lava, looking back, is a rather obvious choice: some kind of acid or toxic waste, or at least something similar. Due to an overabundance of it, let alone the containers it's stored in, cave-like formations underground are treated like dumps as a last resort; especially near the bottom of the earth where it's not so likely to harm your average surface-scrap-shack-dweller. Direct contact is not recommended, but it's possible to get ahold of.
EDIT: Welp, I guess I was right about the Zombie Pigmen being survivors.

Zombies = The Lost
Skeletons = ?
Slimes = ?
Ghasts = ?
Zombie Pigmen = ?
Sheep = ?
