This is very much a work in progress. I’ll release more info as I go along, but since it’s currently being built, and anything can change at any time, I don’t want to over promise too much.

Does the well come with a PBR Timmy complete with falling animation?

I suppose the Mummy could be Timmy if Anubis is the dog?

So the mystery pack is… a town building pack‽
A paintball course?

Haha well… I mean, that could be cool. Procedurally generated paintball splatters?

Looks pretty cool, my guess is a medieval town construction kit.
Have thought of having paypal in your site ? (My card would get automatically rejected).

I actually tried paypal before stripe and ran into other issues with it. (Aside from my personal distaste of paypal, as they once locked my account with $4500 in it for 5 years before randomly one day just unlocking it for no apparent reason)

Paypal is a bully for sure - I’ve had similar issues with them. I use them now for my occasional eBay sale and that’s it. I would never use them for anything where a business was in place.
Textures are looking great. I would love (LOVE) to see some curvature on structures, like georgian arches on the doors and windows, corbels, and cornices.

Are you at liberty to discuss whether this is exteriors only or exteriors and interiors? Interior walls are easily faked by just flipping around outer walls so I’m not worried about that, but stuff like roof beams and some props are more with what I’m curious about.

It wouldn’t be a mystery if I told you too much!
But I can say this, breaking it all: Yes, eventually, but not at the start. It’ll be exteriors, and an interior add-on to follow if all goes well. Due to the cost of production, I’m trying to be very very specific about what I have made and how. Right now I’m focusing on the buildings, but ensuring that the actual modeling is high quality and modern – you may notice the corners of the buildings are nicely curved, rather than straight boxes with smoothing groups.
Once we get this round of building stuff done – which is close, I think – we will do a 2nd round to flesh them out, adding things like lanterns. Then we’ll do a 3rd round with more general things for the environment, at which point I should be able to release it, and add more later, hopefully will input from the community.
While there will likely only be two door types at the start, eventually there will be more. The holes allow for frames and then doors, so I can easily have a 2nd frame type created, which would support different door shapes. Same with windows.
There will be some mesh morphing possible as well, less on the structures. The well has a lot available. The goal is to allow for slight variations when possible and larger deliberate ones when its needed for any particular project. Textures you see are all custom created. It’ll work with other pre-made textures like the Dungeon pack currently does, but will feature unique custom things I’m making by default.
There are plenty of reference photos i"ve been using, but this one is my main image. Everything is a 4x4 grid with 6x6 (And 4x6 etc) options.

Wow, I really like the art style of this

Same here. Mesh morphing could be very interesting for architecture - warping on a roof, cracked or broken beams and supports, damaged archways…
The reference image is absolutely awesome.
