2 years ago, Steelfeathers and I challenged each-other to a friendly duel of sorts to see who could make the best simple pack. While planning this, we decided it would be a lot more fun and challenging if we were to get the rest of the texturing community involved.
Thus, the almighty Steelfeathers and Peytonisgreat challenge YOU, to rise up and defeat us and your fellow texturers in a battle of simple pack creation.
Within the time limit specified in the rules, create a 1.8 compatible texture pack in the simplistic style using one of the palettes submitted by your fellow competitors below.
What is a simple pack, you ask? It is quite simply a pack that uses color, line, shape, and design to flesh out beautiful textures. It does not rely on filters or detailed shading, and it does not attempt to look realistic. A simple pack is NOT, however, a collection of bucket fill textures or plain squares with outlines. For visual explanation:
1. Take a palette, Leave a palette -- Before beginning your entry, submit an original color palette. You will then be able to choose from among the palettes already submitted to use for your entry. But you cannot choose your own palette. (Multiple people can choose the same palette)
2. You must use the palette you choose! No combining palettes or adding colors. Once you declare your choice, you're stuck with it. :]
3. If you absolutely MUST use a different palette, you must start your entry again from scratch!
4. Any resolution allowed, but simple style only. This means no realistic or ultra detailed textures. The most important things to keep in mind are color and stylization.
5. All textures must be your own original work, and must be created for this competition. You can revamp an old pack of yours if you choose, but do not simply copy and paste preexisting textures.
6. Most of the block textures in the current 1.8 blocks folder must be completed.
7. The current deadline is Friday, October 31. Voting will begin that day, and end on Saturday, November 11.
8. All entries submitted must include the palette being used and at least 3 in-game screenshots.
Palettes:
I have decided to include Jimmywalker and Neoncube123's palettes, as they have become sort of "fan favorites," and provide a good jumping off point.
Not the best pallet in the world but is one I've been sorting out.
By the way, the 12th of oct is a bit of a short time don't you think? Just shy of two weeks.
I would enter this... but I work 4-5 days a week and don't want to completely lose work on my own project...
Maybe make a the deadline a bit less of a deadline? Give us some breathing room?
As much as I'd like to enter this and return myself to the land of the living, I'm not sure I'd ever be able to bring myself to make another pack and actually enjoy it. I could try making a palette though, seems like a fun thing to do.
Dang, as much as I'd love to make a pack for this, I'll be on vacation and away from my computer for the entirety of that deadline (literally just left today)... So yeah, a more lenient end time would be nice.
Yup, for a change I'm going to try this. I usually don't enter these challenges but I'm sick of working on Sanity right now and looking for an excuse to do something else. This is just about perfect to distract me for... well... hopefully the next 14 days.
Here's the palette from Mint Flavor. Hopefully that will suffice as an entry fee despite not being the best palette ever constructed.
My cullahs- EDIT: Reshaped the palette, is now a ton neater.
Have fun. Or use a more preferable palette, I just made it because I thought it'd be cool. Might end up using it in the future for some pixel arts, though.
Yeah I'd say with the HOLIDAYS coming up. Maybe extend it from just shy of 2 weeks to say two months? Give people time to get back from trips and enjoy the season instead of giving us such a short crunch time.
a.k.a
382 textures in 12 days = 31 textures a day need to be made JUST to finished on the end date, thats starting -today-. That's harsh

Hopefully this challenge doesn't die out like the rest. It is the most popular kind (palette type) so it shouldn't.
I'll wait for some other palettes before I choose mine, there isn't much to choose from at the moment.
Also because you copy-pasted the thread, there is a lot of irrelevant information such as a 1.4 update.
Thanks for submitting a palette!
I don't think this will die out. I won't let it >:)
Thanks for the palette
I thought I got all of the 1.4 stuff out of there, but it looks like I didn't
Not the best pallet in the world but is one I've been sorting out.
By the way, the 12th of oct is a bit of a short time don't you think? Just shy of two weeks.
Are you sure we can't use our own?
Putting the CENDENT back in transcendent!
Maybe make a the deadline a bit less of a deadline? Give us some breathing room?
My palette. I probably won't be joining this since I have examinations coming up.

Let the games begin!
Have fun. Or use a more preferable palette, I just made it because I thought it'd be cool. Might end up using it in the future for some pixel arts, though.
EDIT: I just found another old palette which might work better.
I think it'd work fine as a palette if you added some darker blue, violet and yellow shades to it.

I'm going to wait and see what happens with this challenge before joining.
