Welcome to the sixth in a row update for 2024.
Yup! 6 out of 6 and two new packs this year... and a new underway, more at the end of this post, but what an year!
So let's see the goods for this week.
Current Update : Interior Revamp
The town pack had a an issue with the walls, I was warned by you this last week, and since I was making the new walls options I went ahead and fixed them for this patch. Now they stack up correctly.
Current Update : Woodcutting Revamp
I've added half of the clothing items for the woodcutting animation for this week's update. Next week I'll add the rest of it.
Because I was playing with this I decided to do a small shot at a new tree, because I'm not a big fan of the farm pack trees.
So as I soon enough you'll get this tree, with a growing animation from sapling to full tree.
Current Update : Hit animation
I added the rest of the hairs hit animations, almost done with this.
Current Update : Mine Entrances
Added a couple of new mine entrances to the pack. These can be used with any pack, except for the village one and that will change soon as well.
Current Update : Beach Tileset
I've updated the beach items from the village pack for an improved version that will improve over time. I intend to have items for the beach, like sea shells, crab critters, crab traps, etc
I've also spend some time I didn't really have creating a new tree for this pack as well.
I'll add that soon enough as it is still not how I like it. I'll add some coconuts as well and separation between trunk and foliage.
Current Update : Swimming Animations
The pack released this week was missing something very important for me that made me skip the hunting update and focus on this.
A swimming animation for above water. I was trying to move the hands as well, but this animation is actually a banger. We can have it for standing still or swimming. Next week I'll add hairs and then swimming gear to the animation.
Current Update : Hot Bar Skill Actions - Bags
Finally the UI pack. This week is all about bags. A small satchel icon was added.
The next pack was supposed to be something akin to a magic school but my wife convinced me to make another pack ... The magical companions pack, or emberboos as I call them (please don't ask me how I got the name, I have no idea).
These small pals are somthing like pokemons, ooblets or pals from these other more know IPs. They are small creatures that can be evolved.
From cute to more monster like. I really like the concept and I don't see a lot of these in the asset packs, so I decided to fix that.
This is the first one I made as I started the development of what I hope is the new pack releasing on March.
I want to add at least 5 embers fully animated for:
For all 4 directions of course. If you have any new idea regarding this new pack let me know.
I'll try and add color variations for them all btw.
I want to do 10 for the release but this means animation 3 times every ember, one for each evolution, so let's start with 5 and move upwards from there. Also, keep in mind that there are always the weekly updates for me to release more embers.
I am working on tools to make the development of the sprites better, but this is really low on the list compared to the rest that I just keep on not working as much as I wanted. I spent January and February gaining time so I could attach these. Hope I have more news soon enough.
And that it for this weeks' pack updates. Hope you enjoyed the updates and I'll see you in the next pack update.
