[https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/dev-asset-pack-program-take-2.96383/#post-852082 &#91;From a forum post by Starr “Darkstarr” Long&#93;]

Greetings Dev+ Avatars,

With the original Kickstarter pledges there was a pledge level called Developer. At that pledge level (or higher) backers received periodic delivery of Asset Packs of Shroud of the Avatar original art assets and were granted a perpetual non-exclusive license to use however they wished.

The program was slightly complex because we could not use assets that we purchased (Unity Asset Store, Turbosquid) or any assets that included purchased textures (we sometimes build unique objects but use textures from purchased assets).

Even with that complexity, while the Asset Pack Program was active we delivered over a dozen Asset Packs which included hundreds of individual assets. Here is a list of those asset packs that were part of the original program:

*Clockwork Pets

*Automaton
*Chess & Checkers Set
*Wind and Geothermal Power
*All Avatar Animations
*Male/Female: Leather and Cloth Armor
*Platemail and helms
*Female Plates and Helm
*3ds Max Rigged Avatar model
*Furniture Pack
*Unity Asset House Pack #1
*Unity Asset House Pack #2
*Crafting Table Pack
*Dungeon Kit
*Dungeon Props

We would like to apologize that we were not clear that the Asset Pack Program expired when we expired all the pledges in the [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?page_id=58726 Summer of 2016]. That is why delivery of Asset Packs has stopped completely, until now.

Even though the Asset Pack Program reward has been fulfilled, we are going to temporarily reinstate it as a thank you for the amazing support we get from our Developer+ level backers and those backers who have access to the Dev+ forums through Bundle purchases. We are truly humbled by everything you do for the game.

''Please note that we will deliver these as often as we can but we cannot commit to any particular frequency of delivery.''

The first Asset Packs are:

*Arabella Armor
*Cloaks
*Norgard Wearables
*Shock Monkey
*Titan Statue
*Wealthy Merchants
*Weapons (note pictures are only partial representation)
