The glowstone doesn't look glowy at all :ohmy.gif: . I would prefer something a bit more golden.

Ok, I'll make it a bit more glowy inside and also make a more standard glowstone too!

Maybe You should change the bed? Looks a little plain right now. But overall, What an Amazing Texture pack! Keep up the good work. also like the new cobble. :biggrin.gif:

Yea, I'll make a new one tonight, it's a pretty old texture! :smile.gif:
Might try making a quilted one or something!

Quote from xNightmare

I like the the new shading/detail you're doing with everything, looks great.

Also, that glowstone well should I say;

'dat glowstone!

Thanks Nightmare!

I was gonna post some pics of RPG and default but I must've forgotten to upload them... Hrmm...

Good texturepacks.. Ever thought of doing something bigger than 16x? :smile.gif:

Thanks!

Also, yes, I have. I did start a 32x project a while ago but I haven't really worked on it much because I got so caught up updating this one! I also have made a reasonable amount of 64x textures in the style of Ovo's Rustic pack, but they were more for personal use...

Plus my friend has my tablet at the moment which makes it kinda difficult to do anything about 32x res!

Well, at least to do them well... (I hand draw everything, even high res textures)

Your new textures makes mine look like ****. :laugh.gif:

I need better designs of some of my blocks.

Hmm.

Some of yours look far better than mine though, such as your stone and ores and your birch trees (I love them! :biggrin.gif:)... (I'm definitely going to redo the ores though! They look like **** right now)

To be honest, I dunno where the new style came from... I just started making some more textures for fantasy while experimenting with some new pixel art techniques and I came up with these textures. :smile.gif:
Quite proud of them though!

Quote from Deepblue686

You could try colouring the outside of Glowstone like Netherrack instead of stone. Make it look like stalactites/stalagmites with parts of the inside uncovered.

Since Netherrack is darker in colour to stone, it would make the glowy middle stand out more too.

Huh, that's a great idea! Gonna experiment with that now! :biggrin.gif:


Ok, just for anyone else reading this, I'll have some pictures up of the new iron tools soon, I just need to finish the hoe. I'm making the tools look more unique as well as have better shading!

EDIT: I meant to post this a while ago but I guess I forgot to press post...
Here are the tools! I'm really proud of them.

Stone tools. Gonna roughen up the handles a tad though. Wood next and then after that, diamond!

Actually, on the thought of diamond, can you guys give me some ideas for it? I want it to be unique and awesome but it still needs to be possible in 16x res. KGO!

Quote from Leostereo

Wow, those tools look amazing, especially the iron ones. :smile.gif:

Thanks leo!
I look forwards to seeing yours! ;D

Quote from Leostereo

You can see a diamond tool in my thread. Although, I might redo it. It was just a test.

It looks quite cool still! I want to make one that's a bit different somehow though. Something really unique...

Does anyone have any ideas for the diamond tools? It's getting really lonely in this thread now... :sad.gif:

You should temporally have good looking mobs from other packs act a place holders for unfinished mobs like the Squid, Slime, ZombiePigMan, Wolf, Pig, etc. With permission of course. Why use place holders exactly? Cause almost all of the default mobs suck.

I don't want to borrow stuff from other packs. It can get messy with copyright, people complaining about 'stolen' textures, etc. I have made the piggu and redone the cow though. I might make the squid now actually!

Quote from imnumberfour

It quiet because; I WANT MAH VIVID!/11BICUOIFVBHQIubhub!!!INUYGBUBUvuivbuiVuv

Don't worry, it's getting there! I will finish the tools and the squid and then fantasy will have its proper release. After that then I can stop working on fantasy and put 80% of my time into vivid and 10% into both RPG and default. :smile.gif:

Quote from Oys

Make the tools like with some gems and some gold ingraving, know what i mean?

I'll give it a go! I don't want too much gold on them though, it might make them look too much like gold tools.

Quote from DZD

Possibly make diamonds and diamond tools a color other than the stereotypical cyan/blue, diamonds come in many colors. Or maybe have diamond crystals growing out of the diamond part of the tool.

Hmmmm yea, the only bad thing about that would be that people might get confused... I'll certainly experiment with different coloured gems, etc. though. I really want to make the diamond tools look special!

Quote from apollo_kenney

make the diamonds on the tools like this: -snip-

Do you mean the colour? Or is the picture broken?

Quote from xNightmare

Great diamond tool Apollo! :wink.gif:

Sheep, those iron and stone tools look amazing!

Make sure the diamond tools have those black handles, they look cool.

Alright, black handles it is! :3

I've almost finished wood tools so I'll get to work on the diamond ones right away. I'll have to do some experimenting first though!

Quote from xNightmare

Don't do the normal semi-circlish shape,
do the actual diamond part of it a similar shape like this? http://tilallaremine.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/straxus-pick-axe.jpg (Found it on google)
Might look cool. :ohmy.gif:

I was actually going to try doing something with lots of crystal/diamond shards everywhere but that might be a bit difficult with 16x res. :3

I definitely won't do the standard shape though, that's definitely not unique enough! If the shard idea doesn't pan out then I'll try the shape of that pick there^. It has an awesome shape!

Quote from jahama

This texture pack is great! I can't wait to play with it!

Thanks, shouldn't be long! :biggrin.gif:

Quote from imnumberfour

Yay, vivid is soon! The diamond tool idea sounds great! I always wondered how Steve managed to make diamonds into such perfectly shaped tools...

Yea, I always wondered myself! Diamonds aren't exactly easy to shape...

Oh well, it is minecraft after-all... Anything is possible!

The only real problem I have with this texture pack is that obsidian and Nether Brick is way to dark. At least the bedrock has a higher ratio of colors so you can actually see it.

Well obsidian has been changed to an awesome purple and blue stone (I'll get some screenies of it soon) and I guess I could lighten up the nether brick a tad too. It's actually not too bad on my screen though, I can still make out all the details!

I might redo bedrock now though too. It's actually quite ugly...
