Fantastic Buildings: Modern – early access!

buy
Early access version!

Because I’m taking forever to complete the Modern themed pack of my Fantastic Buildings collection, I’ve decided to do you all a favour, and let you have access to what is already finished. So you can buy it now, and later on you’ll be e-mailed a link for the updated, and complete, pack. You will not be charged extra for getting the completed pack, the price will stay the same regardless. When will I have the pack completed? I honestly can’t say, but hopefully within a month or two.

Either way, let’s get on with it!

Pack description:

Fantastic Buildings: Modern contains a collection of modern themed buildings for you to use in your project. These are ready to be used exterior buildings, optimized for RPG Maker VX and RPG Maker VX Ace, but can be used in any game engine.

NOTE: this is an early access version. It is not yet completed. Once you purchase the early access version, you do NOT have to pay again to get the complete pack. You will be e-mailed a download link for the updated, and completed, pack once it is finished.

What’s included in the early access (29 buildings in total):

– A bonus TileA2 and TileA5 to create modern roads and sidewalks
– Modern apartment buildings
– ‘Old’ apartment buildings
– Several stores/restaurants
– Garage/gas station/warehouse/fire department
– Hotel/hospital/school/cinema
– Couple of skyscrapers

What the early access version does NOT contain:

– Residential houses

These buildings are best used with the parallax mapping method.

Modern buildings

Due to the fact that modern buildings are … tall in general, tileset space is kind of cramped. Really cramped. I can place maybe two to three whole buildings in a single sheet – that’s not much. And a lot of it gets cut of. Filling up the tilesets would mean I’d have like 15 TileB/C/D/E sheets, and Ace only allows 5 in the first place.

So I’m thinking of simply combining them into a large image, and someone else can simply pick and choose which buildings he’d like, and place it in his own tileset. What do you think?

Just a little more

I’m still working on the modern buildings, the next tileset for Fantastic Buildings. Here’s a preview of some of the buildings I have:

While I have some old style buildings that are good for down town areas, I’ve decided I’ll go for a more modern look since that’s what people will be looking for when they purchase this tileset.

I’m also going to be working on my website a bit, and add an option to purchase my parallax tiles individually.

It’s a new modern era!

Taking a break from Ancient Dungeons, and working on a new resource pack:

It’s the next installment from the Fantastic Buildings set; Modern!

I remember a lot of nay-sayers when Fantastic Buildings: Medieval was announced. There were people who complained that it didn’t offer them enough freedom, as they wanted to make their own buildings. But you know what? I’m not catering to them – I’m catering to the people who just want to plop down a pretty house and focus on their story and developing characters or making cool battles. Not everyone is gifted in the art department, not everyone can make really cool buildings with a complete autotile set. So that’s why Fantastic Buildings is a thing, to give people the option to have awesome buildings without having to lift a finger for it.

And to the nay-sayers; it’s actually quite popular 😉
