Plan for Ward De Langhe

by Very Interactive Person · 08/11/2005 (8:28 am) · 8 comments

A couple of days ago I posted a .plan linking to a texture pack I released. Two hour after that I had to delete the resource and the website, becuase there were some serious issues with the site code. I should have tested more carfully.
Anyway, second try (the bugs should be fixed now, altough I need to re-add the contact page, and do some cleanup work on some pages):

So, to fund the game I'm working on, and to see how well online selling of software products go, i set up a little webshop. I'm planning on expanding it in the future... but for now just 1 product was added to the store. Its a terrain texture pack with 45 quality, and royalty free textures. Sizes range from 256*256 to 1024*1024 (yes some high res textures included)

Here's the link: Terrain texture pack

To see example screenshots of these textures used in a game environment, just check out my previous .plan. I posted some screenshots at the bottom, showing some of these textures ingame.

Looks cool.

You should display a low res shot of every texture... Not just half.

And maybe make the shots larger, but put a water mark on them. That way people can see exactly what they are purchasing...

Another thing too. You should make them all 1024 x 1024. People can scale them if they need to in any 2d art package (like the gimp or photoshop)

Just my thoughts :)

Yeah, water marked larger textures would be great, to really see the quality... I also agree with Chris that having them at 1024x1024 would be perfect, even if you did include 256x256 versions also (or just let people resize them)

For future texture packs I will only release it in high resolution. This first pack is a pack I created while working on some games, and for some of those all I have is the 256 version. Half the amount of textures in the pack are 512 or 1024 tough.

I will see about uploading some watermarked textures so you can see the quality.

Here are some samples. I'll add them to the product page tomorrow.

Ward - Hurry up and get a preview of those textures so I can decide wether or not I am going to buy it (if it suits my needs)

I just updated the product page. It now shows all 45 thumbnails (also a bit bigger then the previous thumbnails), and some samples.
