Lost Tribes
What long-lost civilizations await discovery in the dark jungles?
Cut off from Civilization...
"As we hacked our way through the dense, untamed jungle, we stumbled upon a hidden valley where time seemed to stand still. Before us lay a primitive village of fur-lined huts, each one seemingly woven into the very fabric of the surrounding wilderness. The inhabitants, dressed in animal skins and brandishing crude stone weapons, eyed us with a mix of curiosity and suspicion. Our blood ran cold as their shaman emerged from the shadows—a figure of sheer terror, adorned in bones and feathers, his eyes blazing with an unnatural light. He chanted in an ancient tongue, drawing power from the air itself, and the ground beneath us trembled as dark, forgotten magic swirled around him."
About the Collection
Some time ago I was looking for some new projects for DA, and heard that people wanted more primitive assets for Barbarians and Cavepeople. It sounded like a fun project, so I started assembling a list of assets I think could make a good collection. I've been working on it on and off for a bit now, and some of it is starting to come together, so hopefully it should be out in a few weeks.
Inspiration is a hard thing to find sometimes - in this case I spent some time at the Burke Museum looking at skulls, searching online for examples of primitive huts, and rewatching Conan the Barbarian (right?). Anyways, I compiled the things I saw and came up with the following list of assets for an initial collection.
This collection features a set of stone age weapons, shaman tikis, bear pelts and mammoth skulls... I'm working on some huts to add as well which should be covered in pelts and bones.
Primitive Items modeled after museum artifacts and fantasy movies of lost civilizations. This set fills a gap in DA for primitive hunting cultures or long lost civilizations that have been cut off from the world since the dawn of time...

How to download and use these assets in Dungeon Alchemist
About a year ago dungeon alchemist was kind enough to enable people to import their own models into the app and share them via the steam workshop so other people can easily find and use them. All of my models are published in this way, so you can find them there.
FAQ: Can I use these models for free?
YES! These are all 100% original assets and are free for anyone to use. I place no restrictions on them - forever.
If you're a map maker and reselling the maps, I have no issue with you using the assets I make. I would ask that you'd kindly nudge people to my site (dangerweasel.com) so they can discover other assets I've created as well. A simple link would suffice.
FAQ: I'm making maps, how can I download and use your assets?
Great Question! Here's a handy guide on how to find them and use them.
Step 1 : Download Steam and Purchase Dungeon Alchemist
You'll need to download and install Steam, set up an account and open the store. Then you can search for "Dungeon Alchemist" and purchase that - it's $49.99, which feels a bit steep, but if you're into map making I guarantee it's a great investment that you'll never regret. There's also a free demo you can try out!
Step 2 : Launch dungeon alchemist from Steam
Since the assets are all loaded into the Steam Workshop, you need to ensure that Dungeon Alchemist is launched from steam so it connects to the workshop and can access the assets. This is super important, because if you don't launch from Steam, Dungeon Alchemist won't be able to access the workshop and community contributions.
Step 3 : Open the Workshop
Once you've created a map you want to add custom assets to, open the "Steam Workshop" menu and select "Browse Assets". This will open the catalog of assets built by 3D artists that are available for Dungeon Alchemist.
Step 4 : Find the Collection you Want
From here, the Steam Workshop Asset Browser will open, and you have a choice to either download individual items, or browse collections. I organize all of my items into collections, so it's easiest to find them by going to collections:
Step 5 : Search for the Collection and Download it
In the search box, type in the name of the collection (e.g. Dungeon Dross, Lost Tribe, Graves...) and hit enter. The collection tile will be displayed below. Click on the tile, and voila! the collection comes up with all the 3d Assets. You can download them by hitting the "Download All Assets" button.
If you only want to download one asset, and not the full collection - not to worry! Go back to step 3 above and search on the asset name. It'll come up and you can download each one separately.
Step 6 : Use the assets
Finding and placing the assets in dungeon alchemist is a snap. Just open up the Place Object Menu (chest) and search for the asset name. It'll pop right up and you can place it and move it just like any other asset in Dungeon Alchemist. Downloaded assets are also available in browse, so you can just get to them by looking through the object menus.
Another handy shortcut to downloaded assets is the chest icon with the arrow on it. This contains all the assets you've downloaded.
If ever you're stuck, or something doesn't seem to be working, I'm happy to help and answer questions. I also love seeing how people are using my assets - so if you ever want to share, I'd love to see them.
I hope this helps! Build Awesome maps!
