What Is the Future of My Smile Game Builder Assets?

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.

Jackson Meira’s Sci-Fi City Pack SMILE GAME BUILDER

Jackson Meira, who as many know is a prolific modeller for SMILE GAME BUILDER, has released the stunning Sci-Fi City Pack priced $50.

In a previous post, I announced that Assets Smile Game Builder (Jackson) decided to stop producing models. However, his recent return with this pack means that, with so few sci-fi assets for SGB, perhaps this will fill that void.

Features

The pack is modular so that its pieces fit snugly together to create diverse maps and scenes. As with his Infinity Pack, the Sci-Fi City Pack will benefit from continuous updates (hence the price tag).

The first major update is sure to be focused on the indoor maps. I also intend to launch exclusive maps for sewers, underground stations, abandoned factories and more.

Some of the other features of the pack are:

  • 3D Floors, which allows overhead floors.
  • Neon Effects to add a typical sci-fi, Blade Runner style vibe to your games.
  • Lighting effects.

The coolest feature, in my opinion, however, is the electric fence:

Additionally, if used in combination with the previous Sci-FI Pack, some amazing maps could be created.

Assets Smile Game Builder Has Shut Its Doors

Jackson Meira has decided to close his Assets Smile Game Builder Facebook page. He made the following announcement:

I read the news with a heavy heart, but wish him well in his future endeavours. Thank you, buddy, for all your dedication and hard work, and your sponsorship.

You can still download his free assets and purchase his Infinity Pack.

Jackson Meira’s Infinity Pack #43 – Modular Skills Rune Tree for SMILE GAME BUILDER

Jackson Meira’s SMILE GAME BUILDER Infinity Pack #43: Modular Skills Rune Tree
Jackson Meira has continued expansion of his meritorius Infinity Pack. It’s certainly grown since its inception, with something for everyone, from trees to a full hospital.

The latest addition to this excellent pack is the Modular Skills Rune Tree, which allows you to create a fully functional skills tree similar to those you see in many RPGs and MMOs.

You can purchase the complete pack from Jackson’s Itch.io page for $40.

Showcase Video

And for a demo on how it works, Jackson has provided a video showcase:

An example map demonstrating how to set the skill tree system is included in the ZIP file for your convenience.

Highly Recommended!

I would highly recommend this pack to anyone who wants to create a game in SMILE GAME BUILDER, so head on over to Jackson’s page and purchase the pack. You won’t regret it!

Coming Soon! Modular Henge Pack Vol. 1

The Modular Henge Pack Vol. 1 is coming soon as part of my growing Hi-Tex Assets range.

Because it’s all modular, each component is designed to fit together to flesh out your henge. Perfect for that "ancient site" vibe!

Release Date

I’m aiming for a release on the Gnome Treasure store and Itch.io next week.

This is a smaller pack compared to my previous packs, but I aim to release smaller packs more often from now on.

Modular Market Pack Vol. 1
SMILE GAME BUILDER Assets

Modular Market Pack Vol. 1 – SMILE GAME BUILDER Assets
Available from the Gnome Treasure store.
I released my Modular Market Pack Vol. 1 for SMILE GAME BUILDER today.

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.

15% Discount for Monthly SusbscribeStar Patrons

Monthly patrons on my SubscribeStar account will receive a 15% discount coupon code on this pack, which is only useable at checkout on the Gnome Treasure store.

For other discounts and special offers, as well as exclusive content (graphics, models, etc.), you can subscribe from as little as $5 per month.

NEWS: Hi-Tex Megapack Vol. 2 – Terrains: Walls Release Date

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

Hi-Tex Assets Megapack Vol. 2 - Terrains: Walls
SGB Hi-Tex Assets Megapack #2 – Terrains: Walls

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.

This is a placeholder for showcase images. I’ll update this area right before the megapack’s completion.

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.

NEWS: Hi-Tex Megapacks

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

Hi-Tex Assets Megapack #1 - Terrains: Ground
Buy this pack for
$12.99
Volume 1 was released on 15 July 2019 on Gnome Treasure and Itch.io.

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.
