Horror 3d asset pack (June 2026)

Heavily delayed for many reasons. Was hoping once for early fall 2025 - September - but ambition keeps growing even as most of you just want it 'done' and posted.

Sadly, it now looks like the very end of June 2026. Just in time for the July sale I'm setting up to coincide with at least part of the itch summer sale event. 

The form of this intended earlier had over 40 assets. This version - a revised plan - has 64 different distinct objects planned out and at this moment 62 of 64 are completed. So now I'm down to the last 2 items and it's FINALLY REALLY CLOSE.

I'm now aiming for release June 29-30, 2026 - before July. (Next 48hrs)

Update - last two items now fully built and textured. But it is now early morning of July 1. I will try to export all 3d formats of these things today, have this posted before the sale starts on July 2. So by tonight hopefully?  I have all this in .FBX and need the .OBJ and .GLB exports done, files organized. But it is really close now and I am excited to see the response to it during the sale event and after it ends too. Under three hours work left at this point. Incidentally, family in another house locally recently saw AC go out. So they may converge on my house this week. I will try to stay focused and wrap this up today regardless.

I'm also making a beer bottle object and a variant bandage. The first aid bandage has a clean rolled up/ unrolled clean/bloody version but also now will have a version that's reshaped, so it can be added to the bottle and combined with the 'flame' item animation that is also related to 'gas can' and 'bonfire' to form a molotov cocktail object if game devs want that to be a weapon. Plus the various guns, knives and ammo items, and other surprise stuff - hammer and nails, chainsaw, screwdriver/screws, boards that in theory a game creator could combine, tack onto a structure built from the other modular structure segments to defend it, etc. Crowbar, axe, bear trap, radio / broken cell phone... lots of stuff here. So it now fully earns the 'survival horror' tag and includes a full arsenal of objects to fight monsters with. And the modular sturcture stuff, fences, barbed wire metal and wood, etc, the shelving for storage of gear, and crafting table, a somewhat nasty little cot too in case you have sleep/rest as a mechanic. 

This pack aims to cater to horror and survival-horror game developers. Indie films and indie games aim for the horror genre a lot, for good reason. Itch.IO especially loves the category so it was only a matter of time before I planned out a 3d asset pack for the genre.

The initial release was more environmental and lacking in supply and weapon stuff, focused on spooky forest / graveyard settings as well as the classic cabin in a remote area and a few nasty weapons. Axes, chainsaws, etc. 

Trying to build a stronger collection at the outset delayed this by a bit. This has gone from a roster of 35 in initial list to over 60 items and that explains most of the delay.

But if this goes at all well I could imagine adding more distinct areas and modular stuff to build them out as themed updates. A carnival and clowns, a dingy motel, a hospital / asylum, a creaky Victorianesque haunted house, a decaying bunker or underwater base, space station, etc... lots of settings are used in the horror genre and that means even after release the range of options for expanding the pack will be substantial.

As a further note, I now see a positive review for this asset pack despite its currently unreleased status. 

That puzzled me at first - why rate something that isn't yet available? - but it makes sense in a way as it is a sort of show of support for development of this collection. A lot of the most popular itch games are horror themed so it is clear people here would like more material of that type. 

On the plus side, one of the earlier parts of this I did involved using a white paint pen on black paper, forming some hand drawn cobwebs that I felt looked... not real entirely, but appropriately icky and messy with the sort of details that'd work between surfaces as decals using the alpha channel of the PNGs in a 3d scene. Other items will be showcased with a few renders in the next few days leading up to the full pack becoming completed and available for download. Sorry about the severity of the delays here and elsewhere and thank you all for how patient you have been and continue to be as this approaches completion.   

I had a whole depressed aside here about the world falling apart and my own health issues. Which turned out not to be as bad as feared. I'm now erasing that. It looks like my health's okay and while I was thinking this could be an early-June 2026 thing now end of June 2026 due to some gigs I was hired to do at rates of around $12-16/hr in early June. Those absorbed over three full weeks and will have major impact on a lot of other things that have been on hold for a long time and can now move forward. Only now, however, as of June 26, 2026, am I returning to wrap this horror pack work up. 

Here is a teaser image relating to those freebies.

That cobwebs free download is already available. You can use those as decals right now at no cost. It's one of a handful of freebies scattered between the mostly $1 asset packs I have available. And ALL these many asset packs get bundled at around 95% off or roughly $1 during sale events, of which July 4th is next. So that's 5000+ asset files - PBR seamless textures, decals, VFX video and many, many 3d models in different categories, in FBX, OBJ and GLB formats.

Plus take a look at the free blood pack on my main page, I just recently updated that and it is horror relevant. It was put online right before some internet issues started occurring. That connection stuff was resolved a while back but the sale day was over by time it was, and I began adding more stuff to the plan then so now it's all getting pushed back to end of June 2026, as described earlier.
