MOD Spotlight: Atmosphir HT - The High Texture Mod for the Mature Gamer

Probably one of the most welcoming aspects of Atmosphir is its cartoon look. No matter what you’re doing, there always seems to be a slight childish feeling coming from every block, prop, and hazard. This does not mean that it is unappealing to the older player. This particular feeling is welcoming to everyone, at any age. It really does bring out the kid in our hearts.

As welcoming as this may be, there will always be players who want to take a more mature approach on gaming. That is why I’d like to throw a new mod into the spotlight. Yet another very impressive mod has shown itself in the Creative Spotlight board. When deciding on a mod to feature last week, it was a close competition between AtmOsphir and this. At the time, AtmOsphir was fully developed, so it went first. Now that this week’s mod has reached 50% completion, I think it’s time that it is put into the spotlight.

This week’s MOD Spotlight goes to none other than Atmosphir HT – The High Texture Mod for the Mature Gamer, led by YoungLink, one of the Atmosphir moderators.

When I first saw this, it was titled “Atmosphir HD for the Mature Gamer.” Since then, due to conflicts with other mods with similar names, it has evolved to the name we see today. Atmosphir HT intrigued me the most due to its very realistic textures. It turns out, the reason these textures look so real is because they are! Nearly every texture used for this project is an actual texture. For example…

…the textures used for the crab are actually taken from a red crab, and…

…the texture used for the fire-breathing bird is an actual texture for cracked stone.

In the beginning, the only modded textures we saw were the floor and bird textures. Since then, there has been a large variety of new textures, nearly all of which are made with actual textures from real creatures. My personal favorite is the new Skybox:

Beautiful.

You can see that a lot of time and effort has gone into making this mod. I can assure you that when this mod is released, I will be trying it out ASAP. Once again, congratulations to YoungLink and any helpers he has worked with!
