Autumnal Expansion Content Pack

You can always add some buildings to the 3d skybox. There is always some style that will fit.

So I think I heard some suggestions for some leaf-based patch overlays, and I had 5 minutes so I figured why not go for it.

Pretty happy with how they turned out, although the non-individuals seem really bunched.

 

[TyeZenneth]

How hard would it be to turn those leaves into a weather effect?

 

[Freyja]

Should be pretty easy. If you want, you can even just steal the cherry blossoms from the Japan back and swap out the sprite, it should be pretty good for falling leaves too.

I'm not very experienced in doing textures, but I might give it a go if anyone has suggestions for what they're looking for. I might be able to do the texture for the turkey cutout if someone could do the rest of the model.

In the mean time, I figured we ought to have some Cream Spirit colored dev textures, because hey, why not.

Also thought it might be good to have a palette for people to use. Here are some of the colors I picked from Berry's leaf overlays as well as the Cream Spirit colors below:

That palette would actually be nicer for patch overlays than paints to be honest, I should use those as well.

Edit: Some devs in those colours would look pretty too, matching grid devs would be nice aswell. A spawn room combo of cream spirit floors and regular red/blue walls would look gorgeous.

Edit:

Hey, Berry, how are you making those patch overlays? If you're using Photoshop, could you share your brushes with us?

I'm only using gimp, running over overlays/patch007 with any brush on multiply.

 

[yoghurt]

Yeah i saw the leaves and wanted to make a particle thing to see how it would look.

Afterwards a young man pulls DaVinci aside and asks "What brushes did you use?"

Re-coloured patches are hardly Mona Lisa-esque though.

It's a commentary on the prevalence of "what brushes did you use" that exists online

Did some brick recoloring.

 

[henke37]

How about some Autumn style stain decals? Not that I have any idea what that would be, but still.

I'm not so sure how you could do that, but wall damp overlays would certainly be fitting.

 

[Snowshoe]

It's more of a revision anyway, and Harvest isn't really set in a forest and doesn't have any skycards to make it look a little neater (I'll probably improve the texture sometime though)

Edit: Should I make a treeless version?

Make a treeless version. We can do the tree stuff with skycards inside the skybox, similar to thunder mountain. Using skycards also gives a parallax effect.

 

[Berry]

forgot I had a bunch of woods I said nothing about:

also I changed the hydro sky to orange to see how it looks:

 

[Grizzly Berry]

I would love if someone could make some crop props (corn, wheat, etc.). I think just having some sort of crop in the out of bounds areas would really be nice.

 

[YM]

Eeehhhhh you're spending a lot of time recolouring things that don't need to be recoloured. Maybe one or two wood textures, but I think your focus would be better spent on models, and then the textures that serve them. The wood colour can be adjusted a lot with lighting colour, since wood itself doesn't actually change colour in the autumn...

EDIT: What you really need are killer leaf textures for displacements, overlays and leaf pile models. Since it's pretty much just leaves that signify autumn this is where you should focus. Get some killer tree models in there too with autumnal coloured leaves.

List of prop ideas:
rakes, baskets, watering cans, umbrellas, scarecrows, piles of sticks, leaves, campfires, thick boots, mushrooms, huge brown sacks of nondescript content (maybe it's potatoes, mud, carrots, hay??), all kinds of vegetables and harvest (wheat) and pies!, acorns fucking everywhere, big wagons/carts, sunflower, elaborate black metal fences (modular).

Also leaves everywhere. Especially on stairs. People seems to love taking photos of that!

Is what I got from 10 minutes of looking at google images with various search terms.
