I know I have alot of WIPS, but I work on them in turn. I try to stick to two at a time.

Ok. Here is a floorplan for the castle, so you get a basic idea of whats to come, note this is onlt the first floor. There are roughly 5 more I think.

 

Here is what I have so far of the (left?) wall. Much, much thanks to jalonso for a lot of help getting the bricks looking correct.

The thing I'm stuck on is the top of the wall (on the outside). It's suppose to be stone, but I can't get it right. Any suggestions? CC welcome.

 

Edit: Whoops. Forgot the wall. heh-heh. :)\

I think that's just the floor plan we see.

whoops. sorry bout that. sidetracked. One other small thing is the corner stones seem to be erupting through the wall. I want them lumpy, really rocky and lumpy, but i can't make it look "clean cut" so it fits in. Basically I want it neat and messy at the same time... >.<

Are you using the floor plan as some kind of role playing game?

What is that green blob on the roof?

Roof edit coming soon, k.

Finally, a promising large Iso project. Always nice to watch the progress.

makes sense. I'll figure something out. I like the wasy the first, second, and tfourth examples look on the wall there (I'm not even gunna attempt the heads). I can't find any good reference images on google. Maybe I've just been searching the wrong stuff...

Architecture is a funny thing. It either makes sense or it does not.
Be careful mixing Asian with castles. Its doable but can easily be a mess.

@Dr D, iso is easy for me :|

Jeez, you are inspiring me once again, which might lead to me doing iso soon again >.<.
Silly Jal

About your corner, it's going into a crevass that's only 1 tile wide, from the part of the wall that juts out on the right, whereas the roof pieces seem to stretch out 2 tiles outwards from the wall. That won't work.

You're either going to have to make the roof only extend out 1 tile there, or change the floor plans around to accommodate it.

That might or might not be where your problem comes from, as your roofs push your wall down a few pixels, thinking 2-dimensionally.

You can see what I'm talking about, I marked it in red.



Also, the cyan points should all be at the same elevation, same goes for all the yellow ones. You're making them appear as if they're not. Fixing the first problem will probably remedy this.

It's just a bit too 'cluttered' in that area right now.

Edit: Oops, JPEG'd. Shouldn't matter, anyways, though.

Ok. i solved that problem. :)

Edited by nomadic_cupcake - 09 June 2009 at 2:56pm

Ok. I did the roof and some other stuff.

Thanks.

Nice.
Use other colors from your palette so its all not so monochromatic in the end.

Where is the GUI?

Yep, very nice piece ;)
As a french, I know that a lot of castles in france had douvre. I'm not sure of the word so I explain : it is kind of a big hole full of water in front of the walls. I think it'll look better, and it will add some colors ;)

But good work anyways ;)

ok. The castle is located on a cliff beside a very large river. I'll add more height and some water to this side.

arg.

this is taking longer then i hope.

also, to any flash developers who see this, does anyone know any good Actionscript 2.0  Isometric platformer tutorials? preferably not tile-based, but that might work

I've seen Tonypa's tutorials, and i remember reading his AS2 version, but i cant find it anywhere. thats basicallt what I need...

This could be a good idea for a weekly challenge. Design a tower or dongeon ...
