Hello!

I'm creating a 2D game engine in C#/SlimDX. I've run into the problem that my tiles aren't really that good, and it would be nice to have more detailed graphics.

First off, let me show you what I am doing -


Currently I have this done:
  • SlimDX, DirectX9 Initializing (I plan on converting over to DX10), possibly using a library that allows porting to Linux. I plan on porting to Android too (sorry, no iPhone)
  • LUA Implemented, usable (music is loaded via lua)
  • DirectSound implemented via Irrklang (sound buffering, loading into a cache)
  • Interpolation time-based movement, running @ 30fps
  • Working camera
  • 16x16 tiles, 256x256 aka 4096x4096px in size
  • Animation System
  • Buggy, but slightly usable Level Editor
  • Loading, saving of levels
  • Debugging support
  • Text system (as you can see)
  • Animation System
  • Animation Tool is implemented - you can create & view animations easily

My ultimate goal:

  • 2D graphics similar to Zelda, but more improved/HD looking
  • Customizable game engine for creating more games
  • Hopefully MMO compatibility (this is a long shot, in the future for sure)
  • Have fun, experiment, and just see how good of a programmer I am.
  • Do most of the coding MYSELF
  • Possibly go commercial when it's 100% complete

But for now, I'm looking for a "testing" tileset, 16x16 tiles. Close to zelda-style. I also need 32x32 sprites, my sprites right now are somewhat messed up (not sure why, plus they are stole Zelda sprites).


If anyone is possibly *interested* in this project, I'm not really trying to "hire" anyone but instead I'm looking for someone that is willing to let me use their tileset for testing purposes, until I get far enough to hire a artist. I also need a sprite set, if not, I can modify the Zelda tileset to work good.

My email is THOMAS MACK AT GMAIL DOT COM - obviously without spaces.


If this is in the wrong section, sorry :( 


PS: I don't USE IE, I use Firefox/Chrome, but you see it open because I was logged into a different gmail account changing things. Just in case any nerds notice ;)
