Halloween 2020, another 90+% off bundle sale!

My Itch.IO Halloween Sale

$1.25 for over a dozen sale items,  mostly a bunch of massive asset packs, plus included preorders for a bunch of my assorted gamedev efforts, indie game productions that are nearing completion! 

STOCK MEDIA ASSET PACKS:

On matthornb.itch.io - lots of cheap paid collections and three free collections.

Over 3gb of assets / stock media here with even more in development for future free updates to these packs, including:

-Over 100 stock 3d assets already, with more in the works, across a variety of asset packs. There are many plants and outdoor details, from bushes/shrubs to flowers to rocks, branches, trees, mushrooms, cacti... and some generally useful interior 3d objects and furniture items in another pack, with other items, street details, launching between now and the start of the Halloween sale. This will - all in all - be a lot of great stuff for both both outdoor landscapes, outdoor urban areas, and contemporary interiors. It's all low-polycount so certainly suitable for realtime 3d, particularly for use in levels in games aiming for high end mobile / midrange or low end desktop gaming. 

There will also be an overhaul of some of my smaller free packs of stuff. You might have seen the snowfall freebie or the free explosion Fx clips, but the horror/blood spray pack is the one I would most want to call attention to as there will be some additions to it in the form of a bit of new vfx video elements and some included 3d models as well. So you'll be able to download that updated version of that free asset pack by the time Halloween 2020 rolls around. The free 'blood spray pack' has consistently been downloaded more than any other I have posted here and my hope is the update will further build on that success.



-Over 1500 texture maps by now, across multiple asset packs. These include not merely seamless diffuse maps that tile beautifully, but also associated bump, normal, and spec maps, and sometimes also opacity maps. Great stuff for 3d artists, and much of it very high resolution - even up to 2048x2048 in many cases!





-Included across the various asset packs, over 150 video elements, stock clips of explosions, fire, smoke, sparks, debris bursts and splashes of water. Tons of material and much of it in HD, often shot at 60 or 120 fps high speed, and almost entirely against either black backdrops or blue, to make keying easy for video VFX or game cutscenes. 






BONUS - INDIE GAME PREORDERS:

The gamedev stuff I'm tacking on for this sale, may in some cases be a ways off from actual launch, anywhere from 2 months to as much as a year, depending on which project we're discussing, but they're all productions that are well beyond the halfway mark and some have been in the works for 5+ years... the actual list of minigames included:

-Miniature Multiverse, a sprawling puzzle/adventure game with over a dozen realistic-looking and detailed gameworlds created with O-scale miniature photography. You can explore and uncover the secrets of, a litany of imaginative miniature fantasy worlds in first-person view! The bonus material is also included in the sale.

-Vivid Minigolf Redux. A remake of an older minigolf game project with more content than the old version. Also uses miniature graphics.


-Panoramic Worlds. An adventure/puzzle game made in a more conventional realtime 3d, open-ended with potential for periodic free updates for years following release.


-Matthew's Minigames, a batch of four experimental small games, premium form of them, that include Eracer, a hand-drawn racing game, Easely, a hand-painted adventure artgame, Spiral Skies, a short scifi adventure, and Vortex, a monochromatic dark sci-fi experiment.


THAT'S ABOUT IT - on a lot of holidays I have sales, about ten times each year you'll see a bundle deal with about 90% off sales on content I've personally spent thousands of hours and thousands of dollars making, that's not hyperbole, I really have spent that much time and cash on this batch of creative content! - and if you buy now, or have bought in recent months, please take a moment to comment, rate, review, or otherwise post some feedback relating to these assets! That input helps a lot! Even comments on this thread on the forum would be nice, questions, suggestions for future updates/additions to these asset packs, etc. All of that is absolutely welcome! I'm hoping this gains some traction; my focus has always been on making great, massive things, and underpricing, in hopes of making up for that with high sales volume and happy customers leaving positive feedback. I've yet to see a lot of sales though - only a little over 30 people have bought from me - and none of them took the time to rate/review, so any ratings or reviews you decide to post during this sale would be immensely helpful in helping these otherwise money-losing passion-project efforts finally take off on Itch.IO!
