I propose an Arctic Theme Pack

[HQDefault]

Got a new skybox!

Let's plug this sucker into a map and see if it works!

EDIT: Nope! And now I'm very confused :C

I have to say it looks brilliant, but isn't it missing a top part?

It looks really good. The gray clouds may need some more gradient effect in them, but still it looks great.

Been busy with clear ice:

Comes in a clear and slightly blue variant. Don't look at the map. It's a testing map for this specific texture.


Next up: blending current textures with the existing snow textures. Mostly walls and floors.

All this Arctic stuff makes me happy, but makes me wish we had an actual thread to put it in.....

Also makes me want to complete the bricks I made.....

It's coming, isn't it.

Also, mind if I make a thread on the SPUF (Steam Powered User Forum)? We have a lot of people there wanting to contribute to the game in some way and a lot of them can actually make good stuff.

I would rather you guys wait until I get an official thread up. Sorry it's taking so long.

Oh, seriously, no rush! You're the head of this whole operation, you take as much time as you need to do a proper job.

On that note, you better do a proper job...

Why do y'all keep making threads without permission anyway.

I didn't know that kinda thing was a thing, until this thing was pointed out to me, I think.

Edit: Here is the thread referenced above.

Because people love going "Well, I can't actually do anything useful to this pack, so I'm going to post threads and do organisational things because I want to contribute but can't actually do anything the pack actually needs" even if there are already people already doing organisational things.

It's not very surprising really. I'm glad iiboharz is taking the initiative to stop these things and keep it on track.

Needs to look more distinctly solid. Add some white scratches on the surface.

Yeah I hate people trying to take the wheel of my projects, it's happened before and I really don't want it to happen again.

Remember that one map that was posted a while back that took place on like this tundra and there were really cool blowing-snow particles everywhere? That particle effect should be made a part of this. Can't recall the map though.

This?

That looks epic.

Do these map packs come with "showcase maps"? I might be doing a layout designed in the arctic theme...

As in a playable map with game logic or as in a showcase map for all the textures/particles/models? Cuz I had the same idea.
