I was going to update the beta to 0.1 yesterday, but my kitty is sick, so I didn't get as much done as I'd like. I should have an update up tonight around 9 or 10 est. Until then here's a little teaser of the nether textures. Enjoy!
Thanks Gig. She's doing better, but still isn't 100%.
I will still be updating the beta version tonight with a handful less textures than I'd hoped, but I'm still confident the terrain.png will be completed no later than this Friday! Then I move onto everything else. I'm excited :).
I am not happy with the stone bricks. They will be changed for the next update, but there are alternates available in the newly featured alternates folder. Enjoy!
I've been looking around for this sort of texture pack for a while. Thank you!
Yay! I'm glad you like it, and thank you! I have a lot of ideas for Dot Sized including eventually releasing brighter and darker versions, so keep an eye out!
Looks awesome! Going to download for sure!
Its really neat how you made it with your 3DS!
Aww thanks for the download. It's a lot of fun making textures on my 3DS, but don't forget they've been edited in Gimp. I found the that controlling the colors on the 3DS was a bit difficult as I was learning the program. I may release a version of Dot Sized with the original unedited textures for fun. It looks very very different (a bit crazy really). Anyhoo, thanks again.
I personally feel it would be rude not to reply! In all seriousness, I want to keep people informed about the progress of Dot Sized, and occasionally I post to let people know when to expect an update, changes to the pack, or other information relevant to Dot Sized (i.e. if I were to make a website for my texture pack). All this information is, in my opinion, on topic. Having said that, life happens, and if I'm not meeting the expectations I've outlined in previous posts, I want people to know why. So is it relevant that my cat is sick? Well, not by itself, but when tending to my personal life (i.e. a sick kitty) got in the way of one of a tentative deadline for Dot Sized then yes, it is on topic and completely relevant. I think it's a shame that I have to over think every word I say because it might be considered off topic, and I may get a warning (and it sucks you were censored). This is a thread I've created as an artist for my texture pack, and I should be able to express things like my inspirations, or packs I support, or other thoughts relating to me as an artist. Without the ability to express myself (granted while not straying completely off topic) they might as well pass an act like SOPA because without that expression, the internet loses something special!
I expect to have the terrain.png for Dot Sized completed and released on Friday; however, I will release an update on Friday whether or not the terrain.png is complete. I may also have a mini update that fixes a few things before Friday, so keep an eye out!
Will I finish the terrain.png by Friday? Well, it's progressing, but perhaps not quite that fast. In any case, there will be plenty of new things for Friday's Update including chests and signs! Yay! Here's a small preview of what's to come on Friday's update! Enjoy!
More views in the spoiler!
Let me know what you think, and don't forget to show Dot Sized a little love if you like what you see by sticking a Dot Sized banner in your signature! <3
I do think the cobblestone looks like gravel :/ The rest is ultracute and awesome, can't wait 'till friday
Thanks Gig! Ya know, the cobble is one thing that people consistently don't like, so I made an alt that I had been using as stone for a while, but it also made a good cobble. Then I redid stone and HATED it, so I'm making yet another stone texture. Ultimately I will be using my current cobble when i use Dot Sized, but I'm thinking about having a poll to vote on which textures to use for cobble and stone for the public version because I just can't seem to make up my mind. All the stone textures will be included in the alternates folder anyway, so people can customize to their liking, but it will still be nice to be sure of which texture to use as the set one! I'm just worried if I have a poll, no one will vote. If that happens, the choice will ultimately fall to me, so the poll will be moot. I guess we'll just have to see!
What are those markings on the top of the chest? I can't tell. ._.
Anyway, looking forward to the update.
Regarding the cobble, it caught me a little off-guard at first, but I like it now, having gotten used to it a little bit.
Also, Inchworm Animation was released in Europe today. I'll be looking into getting it.
AWESOME!!! I can't wait to see what you do on inchworm animation. The marks on the chests are decorative, but i'll take that as a sign to do a few alts for it YAY! I actually love making alts. That'll go on my to-do list.
I finished working on a "wall-mounted" version of Leo's outpost, with some adjustments to my own personal taste and to suit the orientation better:
It's not as high up as I'd like, but it was the best place I could find in a reasonable area in my main creative world. I'm pleased with it, so I'll stick it here as a "fan screenshot" for you.
The outpost looks awesome! Like I said before I love doing alts, and honestly the stone textures vex me a bit sometimes. I can't seem to make up my mind about which ones to settle on. I hope you'll help me choose. Also, thank you so much for the fan screenshots! I will be adding a section to the op for fan screenshots, and I'll be sure to add them in!
I think I forgot to tell you this, but your style of shading is just so fancy!
Thanks :). It is an experimental pack, so I played around a lot with multiple light-sources and more of a focus on the patterns rather than realistic shading, though, I am very happy with the depth that I've achieved on some of my textures.
So I decided not to do a mini update because it's looking like the terrain.png will not be finished by tomorrow. Despite not being able to finish the terrain.png, I still have quite a few new textures (about 30) for the Friday update.....I just realized it is Friday! I guess I will be updating later tonight then! Until then check out this sneak peak snapshot of this bedroom set I made with some of my new textures.
It looks so cozy that I think I'll get all snug in my real bed. Goodnight everyone!
this texture pack is amazing not only dose it boots my fps it looks fantastic *hugs* to you man it looks really good but next update i hope you put fire texture cause ive been in the nether and.......you no not being able to see fire. but really thanks for the pack. and will you be doing items and mobs if so i cant wait cause this looks fricken amazing XD i just cant get over how good it looks AND ITS 8BIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think the wool looks the best (from what ive seen so far)
@ Flaming_Donut Thank you so much <3! I will see what I can do about the fire. It's my understanding that it doesn't work for 8x, but when I use my pack I see the fire animation. Anyone know about this for sure? It will definately be a top priority if it's possible for an 8x pack. Also, this will be a completed pack for sure! I will be starting the mobs (among other things) after the terrain.png is finished! I'm really excited about the mobs! Thanks again for the support!!!

No Problem dude just trying to help a texture pack maker as best i can now i just need to download that "New" update and check out the fire for ya
EDIT:i have went to the nexus when i updated the texture pack and there is no fire unless some one went around and punched out all the fires then turned invisible and started punching me XD

What do you mean? o_0
lol no worries. The sick kitty is the reason why I didn't get as many textures done; therefore, it's on topic
Oooooo, good justification. What about our conversation about being off topic?
