Foreword: Please note, because I just know someone's going to say something. The textures seen in the screenshots currently are not all my creation, specifically I haven't started working on the ground yet. They're from the Painterly pack (which is very good and I suggest you try it if you haven't). I'm adding my own stuff in as I make it so I can test it in-game. Eventually this will be all my own work. So don't run screaming to the reply box to accuse me of plagiarism.
As the name suggests, my intention here is horror. This is a world where night time is evil, monsters lurk everywhere under your very feet, and four-legged terrorist plant creatures...well, exist. My intention is to show what life is really like under the baneful gaze of the giant tentacle monster in the sky.
My ideas:
Zombies: They're still mooks, just scary mooks. I'm probably going to add some feathers, to explain why they drop them. I like the head and body currently, but I don't think the iron plate leggings I have on them work very well (see below image). I also think I'll change the hands more.
Skeletons: With their near-silence (well, less silent than creepers but more than zombies and spiders) they make good stealthy hunters. At the very least these guys always seem to get the drop on me. ("Twang!" is possibly the most likely sound to give me a heart attack.) Expect a lot more dark colors to make them even harder to spot at night.
Spiders: Like how the zombies are going to be mutated humanoids, expect mutated arachnoids.
Creepers: I briefly considered giving them no skin at all thus making them invisible, but I'd rather not be tarred and feathered. I'll probably leave them close to as-is. They're quite iconic and scary enough as it is.
Zombie Pigmen: Will become demon pigmen.
Ghasts: Will probably become translucent and may look somewhat like the moon.
Items: Well, you can see what I've got so far here:
For the gold sword, I wanted something that would look equally at home both in the hands of a mortal and a zombie pigman. For the others, I mostly based them on real stuff. As for why the goggles are there...I'm considering goggles for the leather helmet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A few specific questions I wanted to ask...
1. I'm not sure how people here usually do this, but I'm debating with myself whether I should bother making chainmail armor. On the one hand, chainmail is only attainable by hacking, so most people probably don't have it. On the other hand, some may and also Notch has said he may add legit chainmail in the future. What do people think about this? Do you usually add it?
2. Um...actually, that's about it.
So, feedback appreciated.
