Hello! It's _T1G here, and today I decided to start something new and hopefully something everyone'll enjoy. This is a brand new texture pack I started called "Simplicity" - all the sprites are very simple, and somewhat retro in style. They lack most major color-blending and shading, but hopefully this'll turn out the way I expect 
For an example, here's the item with ID 1, the Iron Pickaxe:
[Left is the original, right is the new]

[Paused for a while. I accidentally lost the sprites I was working on ;-;]
Update #1 - Pickaxes [Release date TBA]
Thanks for reading and have a good day!

This is very interesting, this will be very nice for people with old computers, or people just looking for a dead simple pack! Support!Hello!

Usually, I'll complete a group of about 100 or so sprites before warranting an update - for example, the first release will likely be item IDs 1-99. Also, if possible, help is greatly appreciated!
Progress: 56/3,796 item sprites complete [0.014% completion]
Update #1 [TBA] - Item IDs #0001 - #0099
Update #2 [TBA] - Item IDs #0100 - #0197 [IDs 198-203 (Phaseblades) will be lumped into the third update]
Thanks for reading and have a good day!

I think this pack has a lot of potential, the main charm in this is the limiting color pallet so that some sprites aren't an eyesore, but I do have some criticism:
Simple doesn't mean you can't add shading, shading makes things look a little better, something simple can have some shading that gives it more depth and makes it look a lot nicer:
I tried tweaking you sprite and added 2 more colors, that's all I really have to say
I think this pack has potential, and I look forward to seeing this grow!

I agree with what you said Zander, this pack is very interesting.

While I understand your ideas about doing simple shading, I had one thing in mind - to give it a more retro, 8-bit-like feel. If you think about it, did most games in the '80's have fancy graphics in mind? No, of course not - which is why most games from that time *cough cough* Super Mario Bros. *cough* had very simple sprites. (Then again, they had very simple TVs back then.) I'm trying to aim for the classic feel of old games in this texture pack. And yes, I do understand the sprites look monotonous, but didn't most games look like that at some point?
I appreciate the suggestion though, and I might experiment with it a little! ^^

Then again if you wanted Mario Bros tier sprites, those involved dithering.While I understand your ideas about doing simple shading, I had one thing in mind - to give it a more retro, 8-bit-like feel.

I'm closely watching this pack, whatever you chose to do with this I'll support.

I've been experimenting a little bit with manipulating the sprites, and tested this.
On the left is Item 28 - the Lesser Healing Potion. In the middle is the one in the pack. On the right is a revised sprite.
(hooray for transparency fails)
In the middle sprite, I did what I've been doing other sprites - picking one color out of their palette and making the sprite look monotonous as always.
On the right, however, I took the color of the bottleneck's outline and brought it all the way around - and made the original outline into a small stripe across the bottle. Which do you like better? Let me know!

I feel like the current sprites are missing a wow factor

Such is the nature of simple sprites like this. /('^')\I feel like the current sprites are missing a wow factor

Status update: Update #1 was done, but the majority of files got corrupted and broken and don't work right. Oh well, I needed to rework the sprites anyways

Would you be interested in having another spriter?
I started work on my own simplicity texture pack but then realized that you are doing the same exact thing.

I made some sprites and wanted to see if they're good enough:

Wow, these are quite interesting! They look very similar to vanilla, and the shading effect is quite cool!I made some sprites and wanted to see if they're good enough:

I made a discord server so submitting sprites is more convenient.
