Thousands of 2d game assets, one style
Thousands of 2d game assets, one style
Game developer studio is cooking up something new! Join me in the creation of a new tool and a new way to use GDS assets and beyond. Keep scrolling if you're curious...
Please note! This page is the first press release. GDS plus is still currently in public alpha. If well received I will be trying to come up with ways to raising funding to complete the finished first iteration. let me know if you would like to see this application become reality.
Tired of the limited flexibility of downloaded game assets? GDS plus gives you the power to easily modify and combine GDS+ assets with zero drawing skills and no previous knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator or Inkscape. Use GDS+ to make game developer studio art assets uniquely yours!
Once released, when you donwload an asset pack you'll be able to take full control of their appearance. look out for the GDS plus logo on future asset packs to find infinite building packs, smart toggle packs and editable assets and much more.
* GDS+ format assets only
** feature unconfirmed
No need to download an install software, GDS plus will be integrated with game developer studio and will work in any desktop chromium based browser and Safari.
Look for the GDS+ logo on special game asset packs, these packs contain a special .GDS file. use GDS+ browser app to open that file and gain access to an unlimited world of asset modification. Version 2 plans for full integration from your download library.
GDS plus is in it's infancy and this page represents the first press release. Phase one, [proof of concept] is completed enough to start testing viability and interest. I'm currently working on this in my spare time and I don't get much of that, so progress is slow, at some point there might be a kickstarter campaign to raise enough funding for me to be able to take four months off work commitments to complete and release the first version. If you want want gds plus to be a thing please help me.
At this early stage, I'm still in the process of determining how to structure a pricing model. I believe that GDS Plus has the potential to be an incredible tool that will greatly enhance the utilization of game assets from Game Developer Studio. As a result, my initial intention is to offer it at no additional cost. However, it's important to acknowledge that this tool will introduce a significant amount of extra work in terms of asset creation, as well as ongoing upkeep and maintenance.
As I move forward, I may need to find a balance between providing value and covering the increased workload. My current plan is to possible offer both a Lite version with limited features and a Premium version with more extensive features. If you have any suggestions or ideas about pricing, I encourage you to join the GDS Plus Discord channel, where we can engage in a discussion about this topic."
