I originally post this devlog on my Patreon page.
Last Friday I finally released Minifantasy - User Interface!
First of all, I want to thanks all my Patrons. Your feedback and ideas shaped this asset pack during the last month. Minifantasy - user Interface wouldn't be as complete as it is without all your great suggestions.
Minifantasy - User Interface is being the best Minifantasy release to date ^^ During the weekend, it has been on the Top 1 most popular assets and among the 20 top sellers.
This asset pack has been both, fun to make and a challenge. My objective was to create the most complete possible collection of GUI assets in low resolution in a time frame of 4 weeks.
Working against the clock can be stressful, but for me, it is a good thing. It forces me to prioritize the work and bring things to an end. When we have too vague deadlines, or we don't have any at all, it is easy to fall into a never-ending project that ends forgot in the unfinished projects drawer.
By having a hard deadline you need to envision a final product and plan the workflow with that objective in mind. What are the minimum requirements to consider it a finalised project? How long time it will take me? How many extras I can add on top of it?
Perfection doesn't exist, what you considered perfect today maybe not look as perfect next week. It is important to finish things to keep moving.
I really appreciate the opportunity you guys give me every month of exploring new pixel art frontiers to keep growing and evolving :)
If you didn't check Minifantasy - User Interface out yet, please have a look at the project page! And if you are reading it on Patreon do not forget to check your messages, I have sent you a link to claim this asset pack on Itch ;)
The poll to decide the theme of the May asset pack will be active in Patreon until Friday. Don't forget to make your choice!
These are the 3 possible options:
a) Minifantasy - True Heroes. An expanded hero pack with models and animations for three of the most archetypal RPG protagonist: Barbarian, Druid and Thief. Each character will include different attacks and skills and their own unique appearance.
b) Minifantasy - Tons Of 8x8 Icons. An asset pack that will add all those icons that you would love to have in Minifantasy but haven't been created yet. Spells, skills, states, jobs, items, etc. You name it, I make it! ;)
c) Minifantasy - Sacred Temple. A tileset focused on the creation of temples. Add sacred spaces to your world where brave adventurers get blessings and the wounded are healed. Get your heroes ready to fight the evil!
With few days of delay (sorry sorry sorry) the Patreon exclusive creatures of April will be available very soon.
All Orc Tier and above Patrons can enjoy these extras thanks to our generous Mimic tier members. A big shout out for them!
Stain tuned, Giant Snake, King and Merchant will be added to the Exclusive archive this week!
This is it for this week :) Talk to you here again soon (or anytime in Discord!)
