corrugated? you mean corroded? rusty?

Yep thats the one. Corrugated Iron/Tin sheets, most of the bridge is assembled with. Talk like Yoda, I do.

@Larwick: Thanks mate, I'm just hoping I can reinforce the atmosphere more and more as I go.

@fil_razorback: Hmm maybe when I use corrugated sheets on other parts of the tileset it will imply a little more what it is on the bridge? Otherwise I'm not really sure what there is I can do.

@Yar: Thanks . The palette was a long and painful process of trial and error. I'm getting the impression people would like to see the water worked on , which includes me...I plan to start fleshing it out next.

Thanks MoD, though the AA sounds like quite a difficult task...

Behold, bubbles!



It's a bit dark against a bright background...I intend on slowing the animation down a bit to make the liquid seem thicker, too.

EDIT: Hold onto your hats people, this just got playable! Download here

EDIT: Updated the download

Thanks skull , I'm considering animating the ripples on the bridges, maybe. I've started a proper project now with a friend, so I'll probably be devoting less time to this tileset now. I'll no doubt use this in a game in the future though, whereby I'll pick it up again...

Made it windowed and slowed the character. Just use the same download link above

The project is a platformer, it would feature:
- 8 worlds, with a boss at the end of each one
- Alot of humour, and a decent storyline
- 8 abilities, one you begin with and one you learn for each boss you defeat

Umm, thats about it. The specific ideas are all still up the air at the moment, either that or hush hush! I'm working on it with a mate of mine, who'll mainly be contributing to music, ideas, and level design.

If it's anything like The Bard's Tale, I'm all for it.

Thanks guys . This has actually turned into a project itself...online deathmatch game, so looks like I will be doing more work on it.

Here's a death animation I just cranked out, just getting the pixels flowing ready for some more grunty work;

Whoa, hadn't even noticed you had a demo out. Kickass work so far.
And I see it's made in Multimedia Fusion... nice :)

Thanks all! I look forward to showing you more soon.

@Blueberry_pie: hehehe, yep. I'm usually more of a C++ man, but the rest of the team is geared towards MMF1.5 for this project.

What program language did you use for this? c++ and... DirectX..?

Update! Added in cliff tiles and long grass, not completely finished yet, but here's how it's going, anyway:

Good point Doppleganger, I was meaning to get around to it...all the things I need to do with it are easy, but I've just been so busy, all these other acitivies have been draining me...

But anyway, touched up the shorelines, I'll be looking to de-grid the grass tiles next, not much of an update, but just thought I'd show that I am still working on this, and to show how it's looking :).

Well I am still working on this, just been distracted with the Wii and a couple of other projects lately. Started work on some road tiles, here's how it looks:



Just pretty much wanted to get it back in vision, hooray for uber necro posting.

Damn, Eyecraft. This is all really good. I wish I had someone with this experience helping me with my tiles.

This looks very very cool! some monster/enemy designs would be nice though.
