New Assets: Utopia City and Trains

Hello friends, I am back! I really needed a creative break but I apologize for my lack of communication. Thank you all for your patience and well wishes!

If we imagine the future right now it is often full of white buildings with clean lines, glass and greenery all over the place. I think the vertical gardens especially turned out great! If you are looking for glass walls they were added to the paths in the previous update, that way they don't block light.

And I don't know about y...

Early access: Utopia City and Trains

Hello friends, I am back! I really needed a creative break but I apologize for my lack of communication. Thank you all for your patience and well wishes!

I don't know about you but for me a truly utopic society has proper public transport! Also who doesn't like trains? Most of the individual parts of the train wagons are also in the pack, so if you want you can mix-and-match your own interiors. The other thing that is very prevalent in futuristic looking buildings at the moment are vert...

New Assets: More Space stuff!

Heyho space cowboys, long time no see! 

Space is a dangerous place, so better be prepared: outfit your space ship with escape capsules, a hyper drive and weapon racks and you will be prepared to fight-or-flight your way to a timeline that includes your beating heart firmly attached to your body! 

This update includes:

  • One new floor and wall
  • Hyperspace pattern and terrain
  • A walkway path

Early Access: More Space Ship Assets

Heyho space cowboys, long time no see! This pack has a fairly random assortment of assets suited for space ships or space stations, including escape capsules, ramps and a fusion reactor! You can find all new objects under the "SFM new tag".

I will still add a few objects I didn't get to over the weekend, if you think anything essential is missing leave a comment and I might add that, too!

The pack will release to all patrons next week.

Happy Mapping!

No pack for October

Unfortunately there will be no new pack for the month of October. As this is a pay-per-creation-Patreon you will of course not be charged anything!

If you have a commercial license it will keep being active as if you had been charged.

We will return to our regular schedule next month, with more space ship assets, so stay tuned for that! Happy mapping!

Next Asset Theme

The poll is closed now, thank you to everyone who voted! I will start with more space ship stuff then. If there is anything specific you were thinking of when picking that choice leave a comment! 

High Sci-Fi architecture got second place, so that will definetely also get a pack. Until then you might want to look at the Futuristic Fantasy pack, some of the assets could also be used in a sci-fi setting, especially the walls.

I already said I want to do one of the alien packs, ...

New pack: Cyberpunk City Roofs

Roofs can be dramatic places for high-stakes fights. Or maybe there is a  shady deal going on on top of the warehouse behind the chimney. Or you  want to ride the window cleaning gondola to the right floor to get  somewhere you're not supposed to be... just don't be afraid of heights!

Includes: 

  • Some experimental city backgrounds as high-rise backdrops
  • Gravel and roofing felt for flat roofs

This pack also contains some experimental abstract backgrounds for high-rise buildings so you don't have to build a cityscape. They also work well as carpets, though.

I will add some more things over the next few days, if you have any ...

Cyberpunk City Streets Update: Construction

We know them and we hate them: construction sites. They are noisy and dirty and ugly, but they also make great playgrounds for any adventure taking place in a city! Who wouldn't want to ride a crane if they get the chance? Or feel the unlimited power of an exoskeleton? Or maybe you just need a paintbrush to  redecorate the outer walls of your favorite Megacorp...

New pack: Outer Planet Colony!

We all dream of living on another planet, but for the first generations we will have to resign ourselves to only looking at a foreign sky through the glass of domes or suits. For those who are drawn to those far flung planets and moons anyway, extracting resources will be a big part of their lives. Hopefully automated equipment will do a large part of the work!

Investor Patron Reward: Canopic Jars

This is the July reward for investor patron Jaye!

Canopic Jars were used by the ancient egyptions to preserve the internal organs of the person being mummified for the afterlife. They were usually in the form of the fours sons of the egyptian god Horus: a human, a jackal, a baboon and a falcon. This is what Wikipedia has to say:

The four sons of Horus were a group of four gods in ancient Egyptian religion, who were essentially the personifica...

No new pack (or charge) for June

Hello gnome friends, 

unfortunately I am currently very busy with real life stuff and haven't managed to finish the pack I am working on, so I am am moving it to next month. Patrons who have been here for a while may remember this from last November: You will of course not be charged for a pack that doesn't exist so patronage this month is free! Commercial licenses for Assembly Supervisors and above will continue as normal, just without the charge. Investor tier re...

All new objects can be found under the "SFM new" tag, but unfortunately that doesn't include all the paths, walls and floors. Check the overview picture above if you would like to know what is new. I will add a few more items over the next week, so if there is anything essential you think can not wait for the next pack let me know!

As always the doors are all included as separate assets as well, that way they can be colorable. I also added...

The poll is closed now, thank you to everyone who voted! The Modern Ruins/Post-Apocalypse option managed to build up quite the lead after a fairly even start. So the next pack will be all about ruined buildings, items, vehicles and the like!

Investor Patron Reward: Animals and Ham

This is the March reward for Investor tier patron Nordy!

We now have a new tiny pack for animals with a dog and a bird (with and without cage).  Additionally, a nice, big piece of ham was added to the Food and Tableware pack. I also took the chance and updated the name and the tags of the Food and Tableware pack to match the other packs, so now the assets should show up in the normal "GF Food" and "GF Tableware" categories as well as the old ones if the pack is active.
