Welcome to another blog...
I'm now offering my new Background Kit Volume 1 for sale for the masses. I'm really excited as over the last several months, while I have had a lot of free time to freely work on new packs, I have created a pack I've been wanting to make for a while now. This pack is very special to me, and a lot of love, time and editing went into this finished pack.
First off, you get HIGH RESOLUTION texture files upwards of 16000x16000 in size. Sure, there are a few low res shots in this kit, but not very many. I created this kit so you can edit up your own backgrounds from the kit for various engines and games, such as Garage Games TGB engine.
The pack is so big, it comes in at 3.62 Gigs in size if that gives you an understanding of how high resolution these images are.
The pack is a background pack for TGB 2D-like games. I have created a number of backgrounds in various sizes that will work in TGB for games that require backgrounds. This pack has been tested to work with the Platformer kit and any 2D overhead shooter game(s) you might be building.
Just as a side note: This kit is not limited to being used in TGB 2D. Some of the textures are good enough for a fantasy ground pattern or other use, like sky box textures if you want a look that is truly out of this world. I created the pack to be extremely multi-flex, meaning, you can use it for much more then just a 2d engine.
Sizes include:
2048x512 (2 test files I used in testing various engines for quick drop and go results)
2048x1024 PNG only
16000x4000 PNG and JPG
16000x6000 PNG and JPG

Here are some samples of the images included in the pack:







I have also included the Action Music Kit (MP3 only, 17 tracks) in with this kit to make it more of a value for those looking for sounds/loops for their game. This audio pack alone is valued at $20. You can find a sample of the audio that is included by clicking this link:

This is by far, my best work. I hope you all enjoy it for those who order.
