Just because someone likes something doesn't automatically good- look at the music industry for example. :I
Besides like it's been said so many times- there are hundreds of these packs- they take next to no-skill to make!

If you want to make something that you can be PROUD of- then try making something from scratch in pixel art rather that just taking something already made and de-voiding it of it's shading!

I did make my own textures look at diamond ores look at swords look at EMERALD ores I did that all from scatch

Ok i will put more screen shots but you dont have to download it

@Fuzz,
Everyone starts some where. The pack is not much now, but it has potential. Hell of a lot better than 99% of bucket fills.

Thanks.

Wooooooooooooow. Alright this thing kind of blew up since I last visited it yesterday. Holy crap.

I'm not really sure where to start here, but I guess I'll try and address a few major points.

1) Freedomna, as it stands now with the screenshots, this is no different than any of the other bucket fills, but what is encouraging is that the creator is willing to try working on some textures from scratch to make it different.

2) FailStoner, you NEED to respond to criticism in a mature manner, and you need to realize that not everyone will sugar coat their crits or be encouraging. That's life for you. I tried to be encouraging in my post in order to push your project in a more worthwhile direction, without some of the harshness some members give people for making these types of packs. I understand that especially for newer users, it can turn them off from refining their work. But that being said, it's important you take criticism into consideration. If someone doesn't like your pack, then examine why they don't. And please, don't go and spam their threads or inboxes just to spite them. It's childish. Don't attack your critics. Try to dazzle them instead.

3) Just because people say your pack is good doesn't always make it good. I mean hell, look at Justin Bieber's fanbase. It's huge. But he has zero artistic merit what-so-ever. If you do a little research, or flip through this forum, you'll see just how unoriginal this project is, and I don't mean that as an insult, I mean it as an objective observation. It's been done. Many times over. It doesn't contribute anything. And that's why I was encouraging you so much to work from scratch if this is the style you really want to use. If you are working towards an original pack, then great. But keep in mind, you'll want more criticism than praise. Even if a lot of people like your pack, the fact that one or two people have a legitimate gripe with it means there's something still left to be worked on. You don't build cities only on empty and meaningless praise.

4) Uh. Anyone else feeling a bit suspicious about that "Nonshadesfan" person? xD


All in all, can everyone just take a chill pill please.

Also, failstoner, as a general recommendation, I'd advise you avoid excessive double posting. Try to keep all of your updates in bulk. For example, instead of posting that you updated swords, take a bit of extra time to update the rest of the craftable tools, then made an edit in your main topic, and then just make a reply stating that you've released an update, and what it involves. Also don't update -too- often. I get that people are interested in activity, but it's better to have huge spaced out updates, instead of small frequent ones. Gives people a chance to take in and evaluate the new content, without being overwhelmed at the speed it's being released at. It also gives you time to revise your work before making it public.

OK thanks cyrus . BTW I am a child and NonShadesfan is my friend hahaha. But i never knew that he made an acount for this texture pack and i will update my pack less frequently

I'm going to have to agree that this is just another one of the thousands of lazy bucket fill simple packs, you need shading and something interesting or unique designs in your pack not just flattening default textures. I've even made a simple pack and I'd say its better than what's shown in your screenshots. Take peoples advice and use original colours, patterns and designs for your textures.

see the difference a few changes make, (examples taken from my simple pack)

I told you I am starting to make my own textures
EDIT: I really like your Advice thanks

Bro, Slow down! I am going to update it next week.
