Announcing that I’m no longer creating 3D models assets packs for Smile Game Builder.

Modular Market Packs

I made this decision following the release of the Modular Market Packs Volume 1 and Volume 2.

The original concept for these packs was to provide game developers with a means to mix and match various parts to create a kind of hybrid medieval market for their games. Combined, both packs contain 164 models and many variations.

However, as I mentioned, I decided that I will no longer continue to expanding them. This has nothing to do with Smile Game Builder but part of my desire to focus on other things. I also don’t have the time to properly invest in creating more add-ons to the packs.

Volumes 1 and 2 will remain available for purchase (priced at $6.99) on both the Gnome Treasure store and Itch.io.

Terrain Packs

I will continue to release various terrain packs for Smile Game Builder, including Stairs and Slopes versions, for awhile.

Some are already available and some are unreleased. However, over the next few months, these unreleased packs will become available for purchase (priced $4.99). Each will contain the same quality – as part of the Hi-Tex range, from ground to walls to floor terrains – that most of you have come to expect.

The Untitleds Assets

My current project is The Untitleds, originally submitted to AmalgamAsh’s RETURNERS 2022 Game Jam.

As development on it continues, most of the customized assets will be available at a later date only for monthly patrons on my SubscribeStar.

Furthermore, monthly SubscribeStar patrons receive exclusive preview builds and beta updates.

Market Pack Vol. 1 v1.2 — Release Date

Optimization on v1.2 of the Modular Market Pack Vol. 1 is nearing completion. I deferred its original November release because I’d like to make sure this pack is as optimized as possible, especially with expandability in mind (for future packs).

The purpose of this update – as mentioned in Log #1 – is to:

And with expandability in mind, I also restructured the models’ naming conventions. In addition, each type will have its own category:

I know this’ll mess things up for those who have already purchased the pack and installed the models in SGB and I apologize! I decided to do it this way primarily to make it easier when it comes to add-ons and expansions. Everything is more organized and easier to pick and choose the models.

Market Pack Vol. 1 — Add-On

The Market Pack Vol. 1 — Add-On is designed to expand the Market Pack Vol. 1 with additional models and variations on existing models. I have no set release date yet, as I’m still working on it.

I’d like to continue adding to the market until it’s as comprehensive as possible. This will continue well into 2022 before I retire from SGB and move onto other things.

Market Pack Vol. 1 – Update v1.2

The Market Pack Vol. 1 is receiving a major update. I decided to do this before expanding the series further.

The main goal of this update is to optimize the models and textures, especially with consistency and proper alignment in mind.

Update v1.2 Release Date

I have no set release date in mind, although I’d ideally like to finish this before the end of November.

Other Expansion Packs

For the following expansions, I’m aiming for a December/Xmas release:

Over time, I’ll also start creating some stall "clutter" for each type of merchant.

After the (re)release of my Market Pack Vol. 1 for SMILE GAME BUILDER, I’m no longer creating and producing assets or assets packs for the game engine. That said, I may still release some more occasionally in the future. My decision is based on a number of factors, including SGB’s current limitations.

My Assets Packs

These are the assets packs I currently have available:

Note: All assets are available on the Gnome Treasure Store and Itch.io (links go to Gnome Treasure).

Two assets packs, the Modular Henge Pack Vol. 1 and its companion Henge Snow Add-On Pack, have been released on the Gnome Treasure Store and Itch.io.

Modular Henge Pack Vol. 1

The Modular Henge Pack Vol. 1 (part of the Hi-Tex Assets range) for SMILE GAME BUILDER contains 20 models.

It is the perfect addition for those wanting an ancient, Neolithic or mysterious site for their games. Each component fits modularly together to complete your henge design.

Buy Now for $7.49 (Itch.io)

Henge Snow Add-On Pack

The Henge Snow Add-On Pack contains 20 models and is the perfect companion for the Modular Henge Pack Vol. 1 (which IS required for this pack).

This pack is designed so that a layer of snow fits snugly on top of each henge model to create a more wintry scene for SMILE GAME BUILDER games.

Buy Now for $6.99 (Gnome Treasure)

Buy Now for $7.49 (Itch.io)

The pack contains 50 models, including animated water for barrels and boxes. All models are designed modularly to fit snugly together and provide variety to your markets.

It’s available $9.99 on the Gnome Treasure store (slightly more on Itch.io to offset a few fees).

This is part of an ongoing series, which I’ll continue to develop over time, to fully furnish your in-game market places, including things like market stall content (fruit and veg, weapons and armor, etc.) and attachable signs for market stalls.

Video Showcase

This video showcases the Modular Market Pack Vol. 1 and how the parts fit together.

The Hi-Tex Assets Megapack Vol. 2 – Terrains: Walls is scheduled for release next week (earlier than anticipated).

Megapack #2 Contents

It contains 206 exterior wall terrains and variations, as well as their corresponding stairs and slopes, comprising 41 different types.

This will be available on the Gnome Treasure and Itch.io^†.

^† Prices on Itch.io are slightly higher to offset deductions from Revenue Sharing and PayPal fees.

Note About the Megapack #1

The Hi-Tex Assets Megapack Vol. 1 – Terrain: Ground is available for purchase for $12.99.

I’m redoing the stairs and slopes for the megapack, so anyone who purchases – or has purchased – the pack before they’re implemented will be able to upgrade at no extra cost.

And, since this megapack contains the previously released terrains volumes 1 and 2 (and the unreleased volume 3), those who have already purchased them can buy this pack for 3.99 (saving around 75%). Simply use the Contact Us form on the Gnome Treasure Store and select the subject Product Re-Request. I will then send an email directly and, once payment has cleared, will give a link for the complete megapack for you to download.

The Hi-Tex Megapacks are high-textured assets I’m creating for SMILE GAME BUILDER. Each pack contains at least 200 base terrains and/or models and, for terrains, additional stairs and slopes terrains are also included.

Scheduled Release Dates

These are the scheduled release dates of all the Hi-Tex Megapacks:

Vol. 1: Ground Terrains

This pack superceded the previous volumes because I’d initially planned on having three separate terrain packs, each with around 60 terrains. However, the third was never released. Hence, all three are now combined into a single megapack.

An add-on pack will follow some time in the future to include things like cave entrances, blood stains and fire burns.

Vol. 2 – Wall Terrains

This megapack, scheduled for release in August 2019*, contains all kinds of wall terrains, from brick walls to stone walls.

¶ The way development has been progressing on this pack, it’s likely that its release date will be brought forward.

Vol. 3 – Buildings Wall Terrains

Scheduled for release in September 2019*, this megapack will contain various exterior walls for buildings.

¶ I’m also looking into adding some unique matching wall "attachments" models for inclusion in this megapack.

House Pack Megapack

The original "House Pack", intended for release some time ago, was to contain interior wall terrains only: Stucco, Brick and Stone textures, including their corresponding lintels.

This new megapack will also include some wood panel walls, aged walls and wallpaper (at least that’s the plan).

After some consideration, I’m entertaining including additional generic household items (models) in this pack. Time will tell whether these are added or no depending on the resultant filesize.

¶ I have no release date in mind for this megapack.

* These dates are subject to change.

^† Prices on Itch.io are slightly higher to offset deductions from Revenue Sharing and PayPal fees.

The Hi-Tex Assets Megapack Vol. 1 – Terrains: Ground for SMILE GAME BUILDER has been released for $12.99. It contains 203 ground terrains for use in your games. Stairs and slopes are also included in this megapack.
