Urrrgh, didn't get time to texture yesterday because I was busy with homework, but I'm downloading the 1.8 pre-release now so I can test my textures!
It should hopefully be done by the day after the official 1.8 is released! :smile.gif: (sorry I need to make you wait, Nightmare!)

Ahhhh!

1.8 is so good so far though, those mini cave spiders keep poisoning me.

(Go into an ocean and see how cool the underwater particles are.

I agree, absolutely LOVE it so far.... Oh and strangely enough, apart from non-snow pine tree's, the underwater particles were the first thing I noticed! (great minds think alike?)

It feels like alpha! :biggrin.gif:

Checkout this epic mountain cavern I found:

EDIT: You can't see the end in this pic, but it's a LONNGGGGG way back.

Making some good progress on 1.8. Done the enderman, cave spider is 50% done, made a new title screen, started work on the spinning background (what you know see in the menu background), new 'mojang' symbol when loading up the game, all stone bricks are done, items are all done, chests are almost done aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the mushrooms are almost done too.

WHAT?! I've been gone for almost 2 weeks and still no Sheep Pack update?! Unacceptable! You must be constantly working on your pack. You are not allowed to have a "life". Don't even breath; it's a waste of energy. Just kidding :tongue.gif: 1.8 is amazing! It makes my laptop lag SO much, but still so great. Hope it's released soon.

xD
Don't worry, it is coming along very nicely and it's *almost* done now!
I need to make the double chest and something else that I can't remember, tweak the 1.8 textures for each individual variant and then take some screenies. Then we are good to go!

It does have a few lagspikes here and there for me too but I think that's because it's the dev version. When official 1.8 is released and optifine is updated, you should be good to go! :smile.gif:
(I love optifine! <3)

Sheep, can I ask you for a HUGE favor? My friend and I were thinking of starting a minecraft video series, and we were thinking that maybe you would be willing to do a little opening texture for us! If you just have too much on your plate right now, I know I sure do, you can just say no. Thanks for listening!

Well I can do it but I really need to finish the update for both my pack's first and then finish a few more textures for Ovo too. I have a lot on my plate at the moment! xD
Mind you, send me a PM with more details about it and any idea's you have for it so that if I do feel like doing it early, just randomly one day, then I can do it!

Anyway, sorry I haven't commented much. My mind has been elsewhere. I'm real curious on how you'll do the new textures. I'm wondering if you'll entertain us with a new enderman texture or even one for silverfish?

Good luck anyhow. I'll be watching.

EDIT:// Also what you should do is move the Nagareru pack to this thread and have it as flavor 4 maybe? It seems a shame the lovely Jap-Pack is getting no attention... Plus it'd save you going between 2 threads y'know? Maybe you should make the Japanese pack more anime themed like Doki Doki craft?

I have done the endermen and cave spider textures already but to be honest, I've completely forgotten about the silverfish! I'll finish that up too. :3

Oh and I'm also currently updating Nagareru but it's taking a bit longer because a) I'm concentrating on this pack more because it is more popular, and :cool.gif: Because it takes a lot more time to get a texture that looks sufficiently Jap enough, while still looking good!
I love the idea of making an anime style one though! I might make it the first variant of Nagareru when I finish the updates for both of my packs!

There is an enderman in these pics, but he wouldn't come any closer...



Gui stuff (experience bar isn't finished though), finally fixed the biomes too... At least for fantasy, still need to fix the others...

Random awesome picture :tongue.gif:



Anywho, I'll keep posting pictures of my progress, realised I haven't really been keeping you all in the loop!
I'll get more pictures of the new stuff when I come across it too! (don't have a bow yet on this world but I'll take some pics when I get one! I promise it's cool! :biggrin.gif:)

Quote from imnumberfour

wow, the new things look amazing! Havn't had time to play 1.8 much yet, still waiting for optifine -.-

Hmmm yea, for some reason 1.8 made my frames smoother, no more lagspikes!
I always had an average of around 60 fps far and fancy but I still had annoying lagspikes. No I'm on 70 fps with no lagspikes. Weird since everyone else seems to be getting way more lag than 1.7.3...
That being said though, I love optifine, I use it as a HD patcher and also because there are so many prettyfying options! :biggrin.gif:

Quote from NorthenerSouth

Don't worry, you're not alone.

I haven't played it at all yet. Wating for Optifine + schoolwork.

I haven't played toooooo much, mostly working on textures... :| At least they're almost done though, I can actually get some play time in. When I get a mike a may be starting a let's play series too. Looks like a lot of fun!

Quote from PhanTango

You seriously give yourself too much work lol...

Yup, tell me about it.... It's definitely ain't a good thing! :tongue.gif:

That side grass looks awesome and I love the panorama and Sheep Pack
Title Sign thingamobobber!

Awesome, almost makes it a struggle to work further on the textures I've
been working on, knowing what's in store!

Thank you!
I've been working pretty hard for quite a while on this now so you shouldn't feel bad. Mind you, whenever I see an awesome pack, I get the same feeling.... Quite depressing!

Quote from Rarrasdas

Jeez, relaxe for a bit sheep :3

I have been... sorta. :tongue.gif:
That's why this update has been coming so slowly, because I've been working at a *VERY* relaxed pace....
It is almost done though!

Quote from markoman

omg omg omg omg omg cool pack bro
can't wait for the update :biggrin.gif:

Hehehe, marko, I'll send you the dropbox stuff tomorrow... I forgot today!

Quote from jdwarfer

Everyday I look for an update of this pack... since... well... quite a long time... and then one more day...
It looks great by the way :smile.gif:

Yea, sorry it has been so long!
It is very nearly finished though, I basically just need to finish off a few things with the gui, then fix up the biomes and we are good to go. It'll be worth the wait though! :smile.gif:

Quote from Xyvipe
