We are very proud to announce our next content pack, the RTS Buildings pack:Orcs!
The RTS Buildings pack:Orcs contains 5 animated buildings, ready to use with the Garagegames TGE or RTS Starter Kit. Each building has 3 animations/states : Create, idle and destroy.
The RTS Buildings pack:Orcs is the perfect product to prototype your RTS or other top view game type ideas!
Each building comes with an "under construction" model, a "idle" model and textures are provided for 2 different environments : classic and snow.
In addition, the RTS Buildings pack:Orcs contains 9 animated flags models to differentiate players on the battlefield!
What's in the RTS Buildings pack:Orcs? :
- 5 "under construction" Orc Building shapes.
- 5 Orc Building shapes.
- 1 animated Orc Flag.
- 10 building textures.
- 9 flag textures.
- 4 ground textures.
Sources
Each model comes with :
- DTS file, 3DS Max7 .max file, .3ds file, .x file, .obj file and .lwo file
Textures templates
- Each texture comes with a template.
So, if you are interested, take a look at our website :)
What? ... the price ? it's $15 USD!
Dungeon Pack Update
The Dungeon Pack now contains more file formats. The hard part was to convert all the interiors in a more classic 3D format. Thank you very much to Matt Fairfax for his .map to .3ds converter, and to David Blake who pointed me the ressource!
So each elements of the Dungeon Pack (including interiors) now exist in .x, .lwo and .obj!
If you already bought the Dungeon Pack, this update if free, and for the others ... the price is the same : $35 USD. More info at www.frogames.net.
Next ?
Our store is going to grow, and the next art content pack will be the RTS Buildings Pack:Humans, based on my previous work. And then, I plan to finish a big NPC pack I started last year. a very big one ...
I promise, my next .plan will be a non Frogames website related one ;)

I just wish people actually considered this style of game more often. It seems that the realism monkies have taken over the asylum!
Keep at the old-school colours!

GW is known to be very strong on protecting their Copyrights and Trademark rights. It would be a shame for some poor new indie group to have to deal with GW legal because they are using your content pack.

I don't know, you might want to rework a lot of your pack. Your orc icon is almost identical to the one used by Games Workshop. You can see an image on a banner here- http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/orcs/gettingstarted/images/codexpage.jpg

The orc on the flag comes from old sketches I made while surfing on the web ... good lesson : never trust a drawing, even your own drawings.I'm going to update the pack as soon as I have time to do it.
Thank you Rob!

probably cartoon and it looks a lot like the cel shading used in windwaker.

hrm, i mean like, oversizing certain proportions of any object. like see how the stick is a lot bigger than how it's supposed to be?
in any case, nice work!
