Explosion Pack

by nibbuls · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 07/22/2004 (7:26 pm) · 7 replies

Hey...
I recently thought of creating an explosion pack within Atom Software. Do you think that it would be used if it was a free resource???

I've already created 3 cartoony explosions (1 for evil, 1 for good, one for either side) and will soon create realistic ones. (If I get some good feedback)

I can assure you, they look awesome!

If the explosions look good, I would use them, especially for free. ;)

Hmm... actually I could use a really good explosion for my game. Is there a free explosion animation on the net somewhere?

Don't know of any tools (would be an interesting one to build though) but there are tons of tutorials on building them. Depends on what you want to build them in. Here are some I found:

You mean something like this resource:
Explosion/Smoke Texture Maker

* which I found by searching for "explosion" in the resources ;)

Well, since GG has that, I don't need to make a new resource.

This project in now CANCELLED.... (I've always wanted to say that)
