NOW BEGINS SOONER THAN WAS PLANNED:
June 21 to July 8, 2022!
79% off individual items and - amazingly - 97% off everything bundled together! ($1.05 for all products in a bundle. Normal price is just over $35.)
A recent buyer got part of this (one of the included asset packs in the 97% off bundle) for $2.15 and said this:
I'd like to thank lanp4rty and other customers so much for taking the time to comment, or review, what they bought, and I'll note that during a bundle sale more assets are in the bundle, at a lower price, than was the case for what this customer bought (which, in the customer's own words, 'insane that this is so cheap.')
My pricing has always been that way though. I hope that if enough of you make the choice to buy this bundle, that it'll remain not only viable for me to continue adding products long term, but that I'll be able to make bigger and better asset collections each year, along with more ambitious games.
Simply put, this is an incredible and continually-improving deal for game developers and 3d/ VFX artists, and one you don't want to miss. There's also a giveaway described at the bottom of this page where you could get a bunch of this stuff for free this time so keep reading!
Includes:
-2000+ photography-based texture maps. Seamlessly tiling PBR texture maps, overlays & decals.
-300+ 3d assets in .FBX and .OBJ formats, with UV maps and textures.
-250+ video VFX elements and video overlays against bluescreen or black. Explosions, smoke, fire, weather and environmental effects, water effects, sparks and debris elements.
-preorders for even more material over the next year, including new texture updates, new 3d model packs, new VFX elements, and a batch of indie games I'm developing and am nearing completion on. Not only will new releases be posted over time, but existing asset packs will also see occasional updates with added content.
Expect the existing numbers of included assets to nearly double over the next ten months. I am working very hard to make amazing resources for all of you.
News leading up to sale:
1) Interiors 3d asset pack update, launch delay but very close to ready, clearly far later than planned but also including a lot more new content than was originally planned. This more than doubles the total size of the collection, many more 3d things for interior scenes.
2) 2022 PBR texture pack launch during mid summer 2022 plus a first update, in July. This and 'Panoramic Worlds HD' are both pushed back slightly due to the expanded scope of the interiors update.
3) The new VFX pyro pack with various explosion effects [with sparks, flames, various mixes of debris, plus a few zero-g explosion FX), may or may not be ready by time of sale, due partly to the split in focus between that and the newly announced water FX collection I'm now also working on, and 'Panoramic Worlds HD' is likely a later summer 2022 release now too. I'm hoping those three launches will all take place before the end of summer 2022, I do think that's still realistic.
In other words: While I will have a number of still-unreleased items in this bundle at the time of this sale, I do have the resources to finish the ones that are not yet complete, and given a few more months should be able to release them all and make everything available soon to bundle purchasers. It's just a *lot* of work still left to do even now. As in, hundreds of hours of work still to get through, in addition to the thousand-plus hours already put into all of this.
That said, what is already here (released already) is potentially extremely valuable to game developers and 3d level designers as well as visual effects artists and compositors.
-hundreds of 3d assets across multiple categories.
-hundreds of VFX elements for use in VFX work or video cutscenes
-thousands of seamless texture maps.
Here's a breakdown of everything included in the bundle - that is everything I've made or am in the process of making on the ITCH.IO platform up through 2023:
As you can see, as of June 2022:
-11 already launched asset packs, 3 of which are small bonus freebies.
-now 5 more asset packs still in active development, at least one of them likely launched by start of the July 4 sale.
-5 game project listings, still in development. Technically that's three big games, one bonus content pack, and a collection of minigames.
One of those bigger games is nearly done, might be ready to release by the end of this sale.
Why would you include things you're still working on and have yet to release?
I don't want to punish early buyers [relative to those who wait until more items launch]. If I didn't include the future releases, there'd be a lot of buyers irked that those items which I've announced I'm working on but am not done with yet, aren't included in the bundle. There's really no way not to upset *someone* with a situation like this.
I will say though, the bundle's an outstanding deal just considering the content of it that HAS been released already. We're talking about 10 cents per asset pack, or about 1/25th of a cent per individual asset file, at the $1.05 bundle price level, and the value just improves when you consider the chance you have to buy, download all the content I've posted so far, show up again later every few months, and download what gets released later [over the course of the next year] at no additional cost.
ALL THE INDIVIDUAL LISTINGS I HAVE ON ITCH ARE VISIBLE TO THE RIGHT, or on https://matthornb.itch.io
YOU MAY ALSO WISH TO LOOK AT MY ETSY SHOP AS I RECENTLY RELEASED MY STOCK MEDIA THERE TOO.
Unlike Itch, where all the files are organized into numerous asset packs, on Etsy there are only three asset packs, sorted by type.
-3d assets [all of them, 250+ 3d models]
-texture assets [2000+ seamless texture maps, plus 120+ decals]
-video/VFX assets [over 220 video VFX elements]
Each of the three collections includes all the itch assets 'of that type' ie the 3d assets pack has ALL the 3d assets from itch, across multiple asset packs, and so on. The Etsy packs are about $2.50 each normally but 70% off during the July 4 sale.
There are, as far as I can tell, only two reasons why you'd want to go with Etsy over Itch given the better Itch bundle pricing:
-If you only want one broad category of asset. Not everything.
-You like the fact that Etsy shop has 80+ positive user reviews.
And if it's the latter, you could also consider the eBay auctions I'll be running during the sale, as I've got 400+ positive reviews on eBay as well.

These two shops should give you all the reassurance you need that I'm a reasonable seller who provides capable customer service and worthwhile products at low prices.
I hope you choose to buy this bundle, during this sale, from one venue or another, as it's an amazing collection that I've spent a LOT of time working on - and I will continue to expand on all of it!
.ALSO: If you do buy this bundle and like it, please feel free to comment, review/rate, bookmark, or share it?:
Note the ad campaign image I posted on Twitter - which I hope goes viral. For anyone reposting / sharing / retweeting it on FB, Instagram, Twitter or Pinterest, I will give out a free asset pack download link for every time the image is shared on social media, up to the first 250 shares.
All you would have to do is share the image socially, then message me at matthornb@triumphantartists.com (email address) with a screenshot or link that shows where the share happened. Up to four shares valid per person, that is one on each of the four above social networks. So you could, if you actually do that, get a random four of my asset packs free. Plus a lucky ten of those 250 shares will see a reply from me with not an asset pack but a $2.50 Amazon gift card code. Repeat, $25 total being given away. I hope this little viral campaign works, if it does it would be amazing. I figure I would rather try sending out $25 this way than just spend it on traditional ads. And maybe a few hundred asset packs given away could be effective in other ways too. Maybe some useful comments and ratings and other feedback? That would be appreciated enormously.
Bonus tip: half of the gift codes are scattered among the first fifty shares. So far none have been unlocked as just the first two such shares have actually occurred (according to the rules, the share needs to be sent to the email account above.)
So every time you share within that first fifty, there's basically a one in ten (10%) chance you get a $2.50 Amazon gift code, vs. a 2.5% chance later on (later 200) and... well, with the stats emerging on my Twitter campaign that is now ramping up, I fully expect 1400+ people to be here during this event, from that one $20 Twitter campaign alone. Plus another 1000 from other places maybe. Don't be the person who shares AFTER all 250 gifts have been sent out... if you retweeted my stuff, LET ME KNOW NOW.
Even if not a gift code, you will still get something each time - a download link for one of my already released asset packs.
You can decide to share this or not, if you do share it you'll get either a gift card code or an asset pack for free, if you don't want to share it you can always grab the full bundle of all my asset packs here for $1.05 while the sale remains active.
Thank you.
