Have to say I've tried a lot of texture packs and yours is without question my favorite. I was even gonna go about making my own, but then I found yours looked just like one I had in my head!
I don't exaggerate even slightly when I say that Minecraft wouldn't be the same for me without it. I used it a while back in earlier forms and was delighted when you updated it! Previously I'd used the Pixeudi pack's items in conjunction with your terrain, but the idea of you doing items (and from the teaser you've posted) sounds ****in' A!
Anyway, I read some other peoples feedback and I'd like to just offer some of my input as someone who genuinely appreciates your work.
My first advice (tho' it's more of a request and afterall, what do I know?!) is to not over complicate the package. People are all like "more HD!" and "Add this and that". But really, the player will always go out and find the things they feel improve their personal experience of the game.
"If you want to be really famous..."
Well, c'mon now since when did the motivation of fame ever produce reliable quality? It's like those corps' who make products they don't like because they assume they know what others will go for. There needs to be a decent 16x texture on the go and yours is it! If you turned into some 200+ pixels dude I'd be devastated, but then again that may have something to do with having a slow computer. All bias aside, I think low resolutions can be part of the charm of minecraft aswell as making it accessible to those with shitty hardware. What I'm trying to say is it looks perfect already and don't be encouraged to fix what aint broken. Don't feel pressured to take risks to impress the community. Do your work the way you envision it and if your vision turns out to be appreciated, then you will gain popularity
Probably don't have to even say these things but I will anyway.
Anyway! My favorite texture pack by far I appreciate all the time you must have put in, can't wait to see what you do with the items!
I pretty much agree with what you have to say, especially about keeping textures default, it just has that feel to it. Don't know about others, but I think you could make some really cool looking menus and that you could do that later on. But I've already made a couple suggestions, and would just like to voice my support with Rob here that I'm loving this texture pack and that I'm looking forward on more to come :biggrin.gif:

GENERATION 23: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.
I'll be keeping an eye out for the finished version. I played around with what you have, and the terrain looks amazing. I await your items with interest.
Really can't wait for the next update. I'm assuming support for the industrial craft mod won't be in the near future? If at all? In the mean time I'm just going to change some of the textures for the various ores that come with industrial craft to match Gloomtasy. If anyone wants a redone copper, tin and uranium ore for this pack, PM me.
I've been working on the update for a while now. I have completely redone many wood blocks such as the chest, crafting table ect. I am just finishing up the gold tools and hope to get this out either today or tomorrow. Stay tuned :smile.gif:
First off thanks for all the kind comments! Second the update isn't just the tools! I have redone all the wood to make it less grey brown and more dark brown. I also gave the chests, tnt, crafting table, wood door, and the bed a good update and I'm very pleased with them atm. Hope you all enjoy and spread the word about this pack :tongue.gif:
I will be putting up a poll but atm everytime I submit one it fills up with duplicate options and older poll options :s
Lastly! If you need a place to play or just want to drop by and say hi! Drop by the dreamcraft.org server then! I currently play on this server and the community is great there. For more information visit http://dreamcraft.org/forum/
I have feedback on the new planks, supply chest, and door though. (I haven't seen the jukebox or etc. yet). But they now look a little too... pure. They are brighter, less gritty/gloomy, and smoother than other textures, and it gives them a more cartoony look and can make them look out of place.
And it's particularly true for the supply chest, where the top is almost completely smooth.
My personal favorite blend between this version and the last version of the texturepack would be to keep the new tools and trees but revert back to the old wood stuff otherwise (unless there will be further tweaks).
Thanks!
