5. Getting Started, Early Work & Ideas

Early Thoughts

I think the earliest thing I needed to figure out is something I mentioned in post 2 which is to break down the Asset packs into category’s and to this effect I have chosen to do it by room regardless of if a certain asset appears in another room. Each Asset has the flexibility to be placed into several category’s but I will need to select only one so that people don’t receive duplicate assets and to that effect I think I have a way to make sure that happens. 

I am going to sell each asset pack By sorting them into Rooms or a large category and those will be as such:

Home Entertainment Pack – All Electronic and Non Electronic Items Located inside rooms such as the Home theatre, Game’s room, Arts & Crafts Room And the Studio/Office. (Certain electronic Items Like Smaller TV’s wont appear inside this one but the bedroom pack.

Bathroom Pack – Every Toilet and Bathroom asset inside the Dreamhouse will be inside this pack 

Library Pack – Will mostly consist of Bookshelf’s, Lamps, Chairs and various books (If i don’t separate the books from the pack into a single pack itself)

Bedroom Pack – Pretty self explanatory, It will mostly have furniture such as beds, wardrobes, desks and such that all would and should go into a normal bedroom.

Kitching & Living Room Pack – Will contain everything that a kitchen has and a normal living room, as well as laundry room items.

These final two packs will have the most unless I split them down furtherin the future:

Special Rooms pack – this will include the observatory, swimming pool, sauna, shower room toilet, pool house, utility room, gym, garage and conservatory’s furniture and assets 

Additional rooms pack – every room that did not get a mention will be included in this pack so the Basement access/storage room, first floor storage room, enclosed balcony, hallways and entranceway 

Brand Ideas?

I need to create various assets all for the sole purpose of Filling the house and to that end I will need to design some fake brands for products like soap, shampoo, coffee, Biscuits or whatever I will use to populate rooms that wont be furniture, To that end I already thought of two brand names for tea and coffee which are the ‘Tastes Like Coffee’ And ‘I Can’t Believe its not Tea’ Brand but I will have to come up with several other for the other products. 

You might notice that The Tea brand shares similartities with another brand which is I cant believ its not butter (I can’t believe it’s not butter original spread 500g – Tesco Groceries) however thats because What i envision is the fact that its not actually Tea but pixels on a screen which is also why the coffee brand is only Taste like coffee though these brands might do well in the real world but who knows.
