It might be because it's not fully finished yet. I think a lot more people will download when it has all the items done etc. I must admit when I first started using texture packs I only downloaded the fully done ones as I was too lazy to bother learning how to mix and match. Nowadays I'm happy to wait for things like items to be done and I'm used to using mods where the textures don't fit in with the rest of the pack. However, I have used items from other packs as placeholders until yours are done, unfortunately some people don't know how to do this. Don't worry, more people will come over. In my opinion it's the best looking pack that exists, and it's got me playing Minecraft a lot more than I have been in the last few months.
You might be right, but then again there are so many hit packs that don't have the items finished. That dollhouse pack I mentioned only has the terrain done, but it's been getting a **** ton of downloads.

Where is the logic in this, lord notch?!
Well yeah, that's true enough. Some packs, especially the more realistic ones which are really popular *cough* LB *cough* Misas, for example, look absolutely horrible. I just can't understand why anyone would want their game to look like that, and yet an amazing pack like yours isn't getting the attention and praise it deserves. I think George Carlin said it best : "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."
Ok I know it sounds harsh but goddammit....I can't think of what else it might be! (plus it's illegal to be mad at someone for using a George Carlin quote) :tongue.gif:

For Painterly, it's brand recognition, now I do LOVE painterly, but it being only 16x16, it can only do so much. Doku's RPG was so popular, people made textures with nothing but items added. And once again, for Doku, it's brand recognition. And for others, they just appeal to the masses of the stupid people. I don't know why, but idiots are attracted to them. I swear, as soon as ONE of your textures gets enough recognition, they all will. And it will start an awesome circle of popularity. Just make sure if someone sees on of your textures, they know about the others, and then wait. It's all exponential, first it doubles, then triples, etc. just wait.
Anyone interested in a banner for this pack? And if so, is anyone really good at making them? (if you are, speak up so I can badger you into making one XD)
On a side note, I beginning to suspect that no one really cares about this pack outside of my circle of dedicated posters.
So I totally overlooked this post before now for some reason. Im not great at it, and im normally moderately lazy about it, but whenever im bored and have a chunk of spare time ill give this my best shot. If you end up liking it, good, if not, whatever, lol.
I used to use this texture pack before, i remember where it is from. Its from the world Scorpion Save, isnt it?. Correct me if im wrong, i love the scorpion castle you guys made. Thanks for this texture pack. Its pretty unique.
I might have a shot at a banner for you. But my I suggest that enchanted doesn't really enchant me to look at the post. Lost Valley certainly did, but enchanted seems a bit, vague.

Haha! Oh my god, that's an awesome quote. So very true.
Yeah, I'm not sure why some of the super realistic packs are so popular either. Pictures just look awful on top of giant cubes! And they're always so grainy from a distance.

Man, I can't WAIT for brand recognition. I want people to say 'look, there's a new pack by steelfeathers-- let's go check it out!'
Of course, everyone else probably wants the same thing, lol.
Think I should put a texture pack hub on my profile page so that people will be able to find all four easily?

I'm sure I'll like whatever you come up with. The banner for your pack is pretty awesomesauce, after all.

Wait, what? What world is 'scorpion save'? I used the scorpion fortress map for one of the screenshots, but I didn't make it.

I know the name's a little vague, but that's the only thing I could think of that really fit. If you have a better idea, feel free to post it.

Lol, im flattered by your opinon of my work, because that was pretty quick work. So if you like that I think your going to love whatever I come up with for yours. I made mine in like 7 minutes, and 5 of those were spent banging my head against the wall trying to make the 3d text work.(Seriously, photoshop 3d is painful, and the render time for movements is horrid.)
I think ill take a few screenshots of walls made of blocks, then go in photoshop, make a few layers, then mask with some text, making the letters of the pack name out of the diferent textures. Ill probably have the walls of block made and screen caped in no time, but the masking and aranging will take a bit longer. And if im going to have a background behind the letters ill have to figure that one out too.

...What? Your banner has 3D letters? *slapped* Sorry, I really didn't notice until you pointed it out. I just like it because it's simple, yet clearly shows the awesome stuff from your pack.

Well, glad you like it. The 3D was minimal, because if I made it any more 3D and coming out towards the screen it would start to look wierd, so I did just enough to draw your eye to it at a glance. Anyway I think ill need... 13 unique letters to make the name of your pack, and I have samples for about 16 textures, so ill pick which ones of what I took that look the best, and start the masking. Ill do my best, but I probably wont be done with it tonight. And then I need to figure out how to deal with the background.

Take your time. I'm sure it will be great. :smile.gif:
Well, it was a cool idea, but im not sure im liking it so much in practice, with the smaller letters needed to fit in a banner, you lose alot of detail on the blocks. Anyway, ive done your name so far, and I saved a copy and uploaded it so you can tell me what you think, I may go back and scrap some of the letters and pick better blocks to make them with.
But yeah, tell me what you think I should do with it from here.

Haha, okay, wow, I'm a little embarrassed looking at my name in giant letters. I really like how you made each letter from a texture, but....well, I can't really see the textures very well. And it would only get even worse with the rest of it-- you would never be able to fit it into your signature and still see what everything is! :0
I was really thinking more along the lines of your signature (or mine, for that matter)-- something that shows the blocks AND conveys the mood of the pack. You don't have to make one like that if you don't want to. It's totally up to you.

Haha yeah, like I had said, it sounded good in concept, but then when I started to make it I kept having to make the letters smaller and smaller and I realized "oh god, his name alone is 13 letters, this will never fit." Im probably going to scrap it and try something else. Your pack has a huge name btw, It doesnt seem like it, untill your trying to fit it inside the required 728px width. :dry.gif: (seriously, that width sucks.)
Ill try another way of doing it, Maybe take an ingame shot and just do some text over it, I wanted something awesome, but the only idea I had just turned out pretty bad.

Sorry my name is so long-- didn't mean to spoil your plans! :3
Sorry my name is so long-- didn't mean to spoil your plans! :3
Ill find a way to make something that works. I think ill try making one that looks like the one currently in your sig. I dont think it will turn out to be anything particularly glorious, but it will work.
Okay, I have made one that looks like the one in your sig, its nothing amazing, but I did my best to make it sorta look like something you could envision being ingame, and would show off some of the best looking blocks. (Or at least the best looking ones imo.)
Its not great, but since I have no other good ideas at the moment its what ive got. If I get struck by some inspirational wave later I can try another banner style to see what I can do.

Youre welcome, but my inner photoshop nerd wont shut up about being able to do better on it, lol. Ill just have to either make it shut up, or get fed up with it and make another one later, only time will tell.

YAY! Oh, that's so awesome. Thank you so much! I'll add this to the OP right away.
Just one little nitpick, however....could you maybe make the title a little bigger? It's kinda hard to read at the moment.
I'm sure I'll like whatever you come up with. The banner for your pack is pretty awesomesauce, after all.
Wait, what? What world is 'scorpion save'? I used the scorpion fortress map for one of the screenshots, but I didn't make it.
I'll probably do mobs first-- cause, you know, mobs are freakin cool.
