design your own village game

Developing your own Village or Town is easy with this Advanced Village Pack

Building towns and villages can be as hard as building natural looking scenes but in a different way. A more frustrating way.

There are annoying nuances to building man made structures, though nuances that ultimately make the scenes far more interesting. Was this town or building planned? Was it filling an extreme need or did it get placed over time? How active is the area, how many people have walked the paths.

These are all things that can be frustrating to put into place and plan out but ultimately leave you with a far better scene than if you hadn't. This pack takes part of that puzzle and makes it a bit simpler for you. With its powerful blueprints and beautiful art style, you can at least take those questions off the table while you figure out the rest.

You can check out the developers video about this pack here:

The hierarchy is a bit dense but due to the way the pack works and what it offers, this is actually a reasonable way to build this pack as far as I can tell. There is not really much in here that is NOT something you can use for your own personal needs so needing to section out portions of the pack to delete is not as necessary as it would be with others.

The Mesh situation is…different. Very interesting and honestly if looked at just from an educational standpoint, would be worth far more money than you pay for it now (which is zero)

The main buildings are all built with a hand tooled Blueprint from the developer and it can get pretty complex.

These are created to be absolutely dynamic and procedural, you can mix and match and create a lot of variation in this. I have honestly never seen something like this but I cannot argue with the results. You can essentially build your own village buildings using this blueprint and the meshes provided.

The meshes used are simple, coming in under 1k Tris for some of the more complex pieces. The main exception being the trees, those are bit heavier in the poly count department but that is to be expected.

The materials are instanced off of a master material, M_UBER to be exact. I enjoy the name of that one. Easy enough to slot your own materials in there if you want, the instance does require some texture packing though.

One of the more interesting materials, visually is this Bark. I love it, it is a pretty simply material all things considered but it just sells it so well.

Also included are several interesting effects that are pretty useful, things like butterflies and falling leaves are easy and low hanging fruit for you to add to a forest or nature scene to just give it that much more oomph.

This pack is an overwhelming win I would say, it is powerful and pretty and Free.
