Below is my latest iteration of the cave tileset. Unfortunatly I haven't got any of the older official cave tiles to compare to.

Any critique is welcome.

Yeah, both the lamp and beehive have been annoying me, the beehive though I just can't seem to nail. I would say both are good ideas that aren't quite there, in terms style. As for the wooden beams, you can put that down to laziness, I actually meant to separate them before posting :/

Edit: please don't use the above image (If you do, insure your colours are correct). Somewhere along the line I must of messed up the colours, my bad.

-Edit: Wayofthepixel.net is up and running again. Please view the topic over there for the latest cave tilesets and assets. I also fixed the colours in an updated version of the image above, which can also be found at the wayofthepixel.net website.

Posting the updates over here on PJ since the WotP thread is a bit dead. More animations and recolors to come.

I am thinking about making railroads, I will post here in the next days

Here it is:

And a mock in the Jungle Set:

Alright, I didn't made a railroad for the cave set, When I started I felt like the ground of the cave set is somehow sloping in direction of the camera, and it would not look so good with the railroad. Maybe We can use the jungle set in some parts of the cave :/


What about the style? Do you think it is too shiny? I can try to remove the shinning parts to fit the OPP style.

Please Feel free to criticise and modify it.

Keeping in mind I'm more a coder than an artist, but if I can throw my 2¢ in I'd make the far rail a bit more on axis, on the slope rails. I've done a quick edit to try and show what I mean:

 
edit: Well, blazes, the forum keeps eating my image here. Try this link instead. (nope) OK, then, the self-hosted option:

(Posting this has now taken about 10x the time I spent editing it. -_- )

Rails, historically, also run for a bit outside the mine. Although it's usually 'just down the hill a bit' to where they'd sort the ore and put it on a bigger train or something.

…
I think you're on the right track, here. (hehe)

Sweet!! :D

I've only just now come back to this and realized how cool these tracks are, a minecart with a character would be wonderful indeed!

I made this cart. What do you think?

Without bg:

Looks better now Hapiel, thanks :)

Pistachio, I can't quite figure out where you meant to place the background objects. What did you have in mind?

I would be able to suggest some edits to the background rocks (some tiles are missing anyway), like making sure the base edges never have any transparent parts so there are no gaps between the objects and the tiles?



Also the diagonal crystals confuse me. Are the end tiles the ones which are mirrored? Where would you put them?
