Hello everyone. Well...it's been quite a while since I last took up the pixel-brush, but here I am once again, doing a little tileset for a friend of mine who is programming an example game for a website. Just doing things here and there with it, next I think I'll do some rocks. What do you all think of what I've got so far? Any C&C would be appreciated   Oh wow the add-image button is a whole new world  |

Nice, I really like those trees. The ground tiles seem a bit too square to me. I think you should make some diagonal tiles too, like this: /ŻŻ ------------- |

Update - started work on a boulder.  Originally posted by Skull Gasp! It's been ages since I've seen your name around here.. Great wor, nice palette - a good mix of greens. Very impressive. Haha, I'm surprised someone remembers me  . Thanks, I'm very happy with the palette, it all came very naturally, though I might consider changing the grass, water and/or dirt colours, haha.Originally posted by Aleiav Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I love the tones. Not too offensive to the eyes at all. I'd try making at least one more different looking tree for variety. Good idea. I think I'll make one more 3x3 tree and then one or two 2x2 or 1x2 trees. Thanks :) EDIT: Small edit on the rocks:  |

the rocks must be "sharper" at the edges u know?;)
the darker gras isnt so good...it needs more texture..more structure... but: THAT IS DAMN GOOD!

May be just me. These rocks being this big make the trees (the best part) look too much out of scale. The lack of contrast seems fine, it is a BG. Overall colors are great!

Very nice so far. Definately needs the diagnal tiles though, for quick reference No doubt you coulda worked it out your self THIS IS FROM RPG MAKER it's not my tileset. As has been said that grass texture needs a little work as it seems to look a little to unexagerated and flat. All the other textures look beautiful, maybe some animated bubble tilesets for the swamp water or ones with roots protruding out of the water for the future. Just bringing it up now though you probably havent gotton that far, this can brake the monotony but i will take it you have already thought of it from the trees and boulders.  |

Not quite following you with the rocks. The grass has always bothered me a little bit, but I'm not 100% sure what exactly to do about it. Originally posted by jalonso May be just me. These rocks being this big make the trees (the best part) look too much out of scale. The lack of contrast seems fine, it is a BG. Overall colors are great! Interesting...well they are meant to be BIG rocks. I will be making smaller ones...plus when the player character is in there I'm sure it'll help enforce the scale. As for contrast, that was just my intention, I want to keep the ground pretty low to emphasize the focus on the objects the player actually collides with. Originally posted by zeid Very nice so far.

Lol, 'green ice'; sounds like a drug... Starting work on player sprite, there's two styles I'm considering, a sort-of realistic lad, and an RPG-style one (based off of st0ven's template on SpriteArt), which do you guys think would work better? They both appeal to me equally.  |

Date Posted: 12 October 2006 at 12:46am

I'd choose the realistic one, but thats just personal taste.
------------- |
Posted By: zeid
Date Posted: 12 October 2006 at 1:54am
I too like the more realistic one, I think it will look better with the colours you have chosen as well as the style. I think the point that was trying to be made about the boulder is that it looks a little like its protruding into the air as oppose to laying over a large area. I've had a go at an edit, hope you dont mind. It's probably a bit vague compared to what I would like to have done but I hope it helps a little: (edited the lower one)  This is what I have done (its roughly cut out im afraid) to try and make it feel like it's more over headish like the trees I've angled the central protruding part of the rock (the 'top' bit) so that it faces more towards us. I also increased the shading on the furthest right protrusion (dont feel that I did this very well) and added two small pebbles to convey where it's sitting. The inclusion of the vines that you did gave it a greater sense of place however I think it could use a small bit of editing. I would have done more but i was on a uni computer with only a few minutes to spare. I did an edit at home not sure if its much better but wont be able to show it till later. |

Much appreciated zeid! I'll work those ideas into it when I've finished the player sprite; the edit is nice. EDIT: Started work on the sprite -  EDIT: Some animation (does anyone know how to get transparency in graphics gale?) -  EDIT: Fiddled a little with the shoreline, what do you think?  ATTROCITY: Stupid graphics gale has decided it cant open the .gal that has the diagonal shore corners...so I'm going to have to redo a couple of them... VERY ANNOYING. So for now the horrid right-angle corners. |

Yeah, when I looked at it, there's only 1 of them that I have to redo. Ok, another running animation (hopefully transparency works too: )    EDIT: added another direction of animation EDIT: and another ;)   EDIT: added another direction, non-animated atm. EDIT: animated now :). Well thats the 4 main directions done standing and running, I think I do some more on the tileset now EDIT: Ok, shorelines restored, just as a bit of a warmup for something tasty. Might do another tree...  |

What is the reasoning for the green water? Can a bit of blueness be added? The new tree looks good. the sprites fit right in. I still have a problem with the scale of the rocks. The trees while a bit small in proportion with the sprites they look OK. The rocks however just don't fit in scale for me. ------------- |

Maybe the sky is green ;P. Hmm, I dunno, haven't you ever seen green water like that? I do all the time. It comes from clay-ish earth, I think. I just want to create a toxic, unwelcoming, hostile atmosphere. The green water came naturally to me. I think I can see what you see regarding the rocks, but big rocks do exist, as do small trees. It's a pretty cramped mock-up, I don't think those large rocks would be that frequent in the game. I'll be making smaller ones soon, which will be more frequent. Btw, I don't mean to sound like a smart-arse, sorry if I do  .Thanks for the critique. |

I totally see your point, don't misunderstand me. The point I wish to get across is that its the viewer/gamer that counts. Blue on top-down games indicate water and is unversially known and understood. This is why I think some blue should be added. It can remain greenish but I doubt that all will see water on this, I would'nt have had you not mentioned it. Yes, big rocks do exist, on this I refer to logic only. I'm looking and commenting from the lowest common denominator (a very young kid with limited imagination capabilities). I do like your tileset very much and my c+c like those of any others are given freely and can be ignored just as freely. I take no offense if you disagree, and will continue to c+c your WIPs wether you like it or not ------------- |

| I'm late here, but I just wanna say I think the tileset is gorgeous, and I love the green swampy water. I think putting a big log or branch floating in the water would be a nice touch that would help distinguish it a bit, but I have no problems understanding what any of the different types of surfaces (land, water, obstacles) you've got in there are. |

I must say, those palettes look significantly better. I believe this is because the water was so much brighter than the land before, originally i imaged it to be some sort of cliff or tall grass. Perhaps not so drastic, but a change is in order?
Awesome work though man. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

When I looked at the edits, I noticed a transparent quality the shading gives it. I think part of what looked strange to me in the green version is the presence of that implication of the water being transparent. In my experience, water that green is usually only slightly transparent at the depths in the piece. I also agree that the rocks look great there, the way they're set apart from their background almost gives them a metallic look. ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

The south-west tree, the one that is "broken", its roots or what you call it, they look kinda strange since they overlap the tree next to it... And maybe, they feel a lil bit too crowded. Also I agree, I didn't know it was green water from the beginning, I just thought it was green slime. ------------- |

I tried some colour adjustments, but nothing satisfied me. But your bring up this has given me the perfect idea. . Perhaps the rocks do need to be set apart from the background more, yet at the same time I desire to blend them into their environment...Originally posted by Swiifty The south-west tree, the one that is "broken", its roots or what you call it, they look kinda strange since they overlap the tree next to it...

Ah yes, it was a bit of an experiment sticking the tree like that, lol. I don't think it's actually possible to do that in the game engine.

Wow! This looks extremely professional, I take it you're making a game. The only think I could visual see that doesn't look in place is the top rock, the grass on the dirt makes that area stand out a bit too much. The rest is great, nice work!

Thanks . I feel like im getting there with it now. EDIT: I have a talent for forgetting to actually put the IMAGE in...  I've got it all loaded into a program now so it's much easier to manage the mockup. I've created a larger mockup in preparation for the addition of more decoration tiles. Plans are: Vert/Horz Bridges Small Rock/s Bubbles Floating log/s Log/s Cliffs Shack/s Bunker/s De-grid the Grass tiles Hmm those are the ideas I have at the moment. I'll probably be cracking on the cliffs next I'd say |

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. |

A preposition is not something to end a sentence with. I think they looked like corrugated metal sheets, but it also looks like it could use just a ltiile bit of aa between the peaks and troughs to decrease the attention it draws to itself.

Sweet! Just thought I comment some on the game aspect, though I'm sure you thought of it before. But here it goes anyway... Make it window moded. Also if you could get the character to move slower... Other then that, it looks really nice. Also may I ask, what kind of project are you thinking about? ------------- |
Posted By: EyeCraft

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. |

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 :). http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/9686/desascreen04tb3.png EDIT: Update: meddled with grass tiles and long grass sprites: http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/561/desascreen05az2.png EDIT: Update: Floating logs!  |

Waaaw, that's getting cooler and cooler ! About the floating logs, I suggest modfiying the lower left part, it looks like the trunk is rooted in the water whereas it is floating. Anyway, I really like the mood of this piece |

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. |

 Bit of an update, I think the road is much improved, but still has a way to go. |

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

Thanks Zetabot, post them up on the forum and I'm sure you'll get plenty of experienced people assisting you with guidance. Update: Played with the top edge of the road, I feel like I'm getting closer to a good result with it now.  |

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

| Thanks. Yeah I've been getting an itch to begin some enemy sprites, I'll probably begin working on them in the next couple of days. |
