Castle Pack

img7.imageshack.us/img7/455/castlepacklogolz3.jpgI started making this castle quite a while ago and havent touched it lately but was wondering if its even worth finishing. So take a look at a couple of the screens and tell me what you think.

If anyone is intrested in buying it when its finished (probaly be between $5 and $10) Then post a picture of some medieval building youd like made and I'll try and make it and include it in the pack!

The goal is to start the pack out with say a basic wall a corner wall a corner with a tower a gate a wall with stairs. then say five different buildings to put inside the walls like shops and such. A few cottages to make some towns with and so forth! Later I'd like to add a church pack along with the castle pack so you could make a monistary or something you could have a basic wall then a wall with a gate and so forth a couple different churches and other buildings.

All the walls, gates, towers, and ect. will be connectable so you can use your favorite .map editor and combin all the walls to creat your own custom fortress!

I also have been experimenting with creating the keep or main part of the castle So I'd include a couple of those with the pack also!

The goal will be for anyone who has a liscence to the Castle Pack will get free updates for any updates I post!



The tower is not finished but thought I'd post it anyway

All models are useful for an indie. I would say go on and finish it!

Luck!

well the stairs look more modern on that one part at lest i think not only that they to big as you made the wells/towers have slots in them that means we have to make are characters fit inside them not real big characters. those stairs are to big if we have to make are characters fit in those little wall/tower spots also that ledge on top of the walls/tower. those are the things that i think need to be fixed.

thanks for the feedback brandon Ok to modern what do you think I should change to make them less modern? Yea the stairs might be a bit big The turrets or whatever were made to scale for the Torque orc and the turrets have little slits in them you can sort of see to shoot out of.

i not saying modernize them but i am saying they just don't seem right for the age i think its because its going away from the wall most are on the side of the wall or in the towers they are round going up. i don't think i ever seen one going right out so its looking like modern stairs to me.

one other thing is most never had side railings to hold on to ether.

looking good, and i must say that it's always good to do some packs for indies.

PS. 1 suggestion (if i can) look around for a more realistic looking texture, and the castle pieces will looks amazing!

Yea I know what you mean I've been trying to find a realistic Castle Texture But All I could get my hands on that was tiled properly was that crap. So I just used it and will change it later!
