    Dr HAX completes Legends' Awakening
    Download here: «X»

    Guys... I have good news and bad news.

    The good news is, is that I finally finished what I wanted to do.
    To make Wynncraft feel a lot more like it should be.
    A magical realm of great wonders and great terrors, a realm of immersion and realism but with a touch of the magic that makes the fairytales of our childhood so dear to us.
    Two years ago, I began work on the biggest project to ever come to fruition in my life.
    Yes, Legends' Awakening was in fact the biggest project I've ever worked on.
    And during this time period, I changed.
    I adapted.
    I learned.
    Drawing styles, constantly changing.
    Different techniques for different textures.
    New ideas for how to make the gameplay look unique and appealing.
    Not once, two years ago, did I think I'd come so far.
    In fact, I could tell you for hours just how bad my first pack was.
    Seriously, I ripped texture from Thaumcraft during my first pack.
    It was pretty terrible.
    But as time went by, I was able to make my own textures.
    Something I didn't think I'd have a knack for.
    And when the idea of Custom Item Textures came along, I was amazed.
    I knew from the get go that I wanted to add these to my pack.
    And so I did.

    ...

    .....

    .......

    .........

    ...

    Alright.
    The bad news is... they don't work.
    That's right.
    The pack doesn't work.
    Wow.
    I've tried to fix it so many times, but I've come to the conclusion: Custom Item Textures aren't going to be in the pack.
    And with the Gavel update coming out tomorrow, I have no time to go back and fix everything.

    Trust me, it hurts.
    It hurts to end it like this.
    It hurts to end two years of work with nothing but disappointment.
    After delaying the release once due to an unorganized schedule and lack of planning.
    It hurts to end my one successful project with a failed result.
    And I have to learn to accept this.

    For those of you who were really hoping to see this pack come to fruition, I dedicate this thread to owe my greatest apologies to you all.
    To @Trixter313, to @pale1, to @FSL|Labyrinth, to everyone who has been eager to see the development of Legends' Awakening.
    I am truly sorry.
    It was no one else's fault but mine, that I couldn't finish this project the way I wanted to.
    And I'm grateful that you all were there to show your support, while the fun lasted.

    ...

    It's... hard.
    When I knew that Gavel would come with a compulsory resource pack, I was prepared for the worst to happen.
    I was prepared to know that two years of work were about to come to an end.
    Even so, I wanted to finish this pack.
    After all, I had a ton of ideas to add to it.

    I also considered applying for the resource pack team.
    After all, I would gladly take up the opportunity to do what I do best for my favorite server.
    But there was one issue with that.
    They were looking for 3D modelers, not just texturers.
    And I can't stand 3D modeling.
    If you didn't already know, I really dislike 3D modeling.
    It's arduous, it requires paid programs in order to make professional models, and it really isn't worth it.
    I spent two years learning how to make 16x textures.
    3D modeling was just not something I could do.
    And with the official resource pack 100% done, I've lost the opportunity to join the official resource pack team.
    There's no denying it.
    My resource pack career is coming to an end.

    Now, whether you want to use this pack or not, is completely up to you.
    Do you want to use Legends' Awakening one last time, while you have the chance?
    Gavel comes out tomorrow, and soon, you will never see this pack again.
    It's your call.

    ...

    So, after months of shattered hopes... I declare this resource pack, Legends' Awakening is now finished.
    From this day onward, no more work shall be produced for the pack.
    And perhaps it's best this way.
    Since I'm discontinuing Legends' Awakening, I still have some regulations for everyone to follow:
    1) Do not reuse any of these textures in another resource pack, under any circumstances.
    I made a policy like this once, and it didn't work, as shown recently. So from now on, no matter if you ask for permission or not, you are forbidden to use ANY of my textures in another resource pack, unless it's private. Of course, you can be that one rebel who doesn't give a f*ck about rules, and just does things without consent anyway. I can't stop you.

    2) Only if you are given permission, are you allowed to use these textures in your artwork.
    I know it sounds confusing, since I just said not to use them, but I'm okay with seeing some of my stuff in your artwork. Just please give me credit for exactly what you used. For inspiration, you don't need to give me credit.

    3) Do not continue Legends' Awakening, under any circumstances.
    The pack is dead. Now let it rest. Please.​



    Thanks to the following people for making this possible.

    I feel sorry for you and everyone who is involved. You should try to get into the RP team; Salted is a very friendly person (and they need all the people they can get).

    Oh and I had trouble figuring out if this was the official resource pack or not (ik but it is confusing).

    Very well said Haxy. It's sad that with the introduction of the official resource pack, the server kills any demand for player-made packs and that hours of work are thrown down the drain. Unfortunately for us we have to let go of our creations and realize that no one will need to use our packs anymore. Technology surpassed our old art. In my case, now that I lost my resource pack, Im not sure where I fit into the Wynncraft community any more.

    I appreciate the times we've shared working on our packs together. I wish the Wynn Texturing Guild good luck in any future endeavors. Let's stay in touch <3

    Shame that it came to an end, but you can still make normal texture packs for minecraft, it'd be a shame to not put your skills to use.

    True.
    But, I really don't have too much interest in Minecraft itself, so I doubt there's going to be a large-scale pack like this coming from me in the future.

    Then again, if I have time, I'm considering starting a service where I can make textures for people, probably for a few emeralds here and there.
