Merry Chests 2

Download

These are on hold for the moment while I work on actual missions. I got as far as making 8 new containers/chests that are drop and go prefabs, made a little more efficiently and flexibly than the first lot. Technically 1 is from the first lot, I just liked it enough that I wanted to give it a refresh. They all come with little loot lights inside that switch on and off as the lid opens and closes for optimisation and visibility. Frob boxes, keys you can use or not, etc etc. 

 

Merry Paintings 2

Download

I needed some office-appropriate paintings that were a bit more neutral than Caravaggio's Judith Beheading Holofernes so I grabbed 20 (mostly) C19th still life paintings, all public domain and CC0 scans. Some chiaroscuro, some pastoral, some with kitties

This time around I've packaged them as light as possible so they're not the highest definition, just something to fill your walls with rather than lootable centerpieces.

That jewelry dresser is so cool!!! Great work on all of these

[demagogue]

Cool. I remember back in the day I was advocating that the team should release asset packs that combine fan-contributed assets in a map like this, laid out kind of like an Ikea, which would make it so much easier for mappers to grab what they want and plug it into their own maps than have to trawl through threads searching for things.

The idea never really took off, but it's good that convergent evolution led others to having the same idea at least for their own assets anyway. 

Oh also, these chests all look great, so good work on that!

All we need is the ability to start a download via pressing a big red button in-game, or putting a moveable crate into a shopping cart

Ah that's where the name of the core asset comes from..

I thought maybe it was a reference to Robin Hood or something.

Haha no, I just anglicised my real name because people always pronounced it wrong anyways. I am a hobbit too.

[grodenglaive]

Nice assets, thank you.

[Bikerdude]

Very cool

What happens when you try to open it from the side. Do you get pushed?

I've also put Airship's stuff into the TDM Community Github org (with permission). That way, you'll know where to find it.  (pssst: there is other stuff there too...)

IMHO TDM needs more satire, jut to look less boring and generic. Old times had all those ugly inbred kings and other pitiful jokes of the society, we should ridicule them because they deserve it.

I mean, a merchant bank is probably not the sort of place where they hang caricatures of rich people; that's more Lord Farquaad territory, maybe.

Not all of them are caricatures per se, there are official portraits. Often such people are caricatures by nature, the painters just did their job reflecting them on canvas.

One can never have too many paintings (said in a posh voice)...

[datiswous]

Edit: Oh everything is preserved on github fortunatelly.
