Ice Caverns Collection Finished! Plus lots more!

by Will Zettler · 05/03/2014 (5:44 pm) · 6 comments

Hi again everyone,

I've just finished the final draft of the Ice Cavern Collection. Below, are all 4 packages that work together for the Ice Cavern Kit. I have decided to drop the structure idea, and am now offering the pack as an add-on only to the Ice Caverns kit with new rocks and a way to make ice canyons now, not just Ice Caverns. Below is everything I have available on my Ice Content page at Digital Lightstorm Game Studio. If you need anything from this group, drop on by my site and order a copy today.

My next project is going to be back to the Rocks, Trees and Ambient Kit then onto the Pyramid Ruins Kit I have available as well. I'm going to work to improve them, then once I'm done with that, I'll move on to my next major projects that are now in the basic stages of work:

- Ice Burgs And Glasers Kit: Ever wanted to go to Alaska and see these? Well, this is a major undertaking on how I want this pack to look, feel and work. I'll post more when it gets more into production, but I'm thinking it will be an awesome combo kit to work with my already out Ice Caverns Kit and all 4 of those add-on packs. Estimated release: Spring, 2015, maybe sooner depending how soon I can finish it.

- Lava Rocks And Volcano Kit: Lava rocks are already done, the volcano is in the basic stages of work. I'm wanting a unique look and feel for a lava world unlike anything you have seen in a game before. I think my vision of the world will be amazing when it is done, even by my standards. Estimated release: June, 2014 for the EA release for people to jump in on this pack as it is worked on. I don't have a price point as of yet, but I'll let you know in future blog releases.

- Mountain Rock Kit: Build your very own rock formations with this kit! Expanding over 50 pieces per kit and having 3 kits total... One main kit and two add-on kits. This is going to be an exciting kit that will have it's very own texture collection of unique rocks to select from just like the Ice Textures pack is now, but of rock textures to make up unique types of rocks that will fit into a various mountain type of settings. Below are just a few screen shots from what I'm currently working on. The textures to the rock will change as time goes on, it is just in the beta testing right now. I expect this to release in the next few weeks. No price point yet set, but i'm thinking about $14.99 to $19.99 a copy, depending on what I add to it.

Will: All of them are really great, but for now I can see the Ice Cavern pack to become a mission in my game The Master's Eye.

Thanks. I might release a collections pack down the line with the models from all 4 packs but that is a while off yet. I hope it shows I enjoy making these, its not all about the money like some people might think. i just enjoy making the content cause others have a need for it.
