Detailed Standard Resolution Tileset
« on: September 23, 2009, 12:23:34 am »

Hey guys, I am like a good lot of you, I simply love the 8x12 standard graphic set. 16x16 is nice for eye candy but since half the game is reading, 8x12 or 16x24 can't be beat.

So I decided to take cues from Inquisitor Saturn and make a detailed 16x24 tileset. As a proof of concept, I made the standard civilian and military dwarves.




So do you guys think this is an idea worth building upon?

I say give it a shot. I think that it could be possible to try some crude isographics.
But do try to keep sacred the accented characters! Or distribute it with the accent-less mod, wherever that is.

Of course, accented all the way, maybe a few modified to look slightly like what it represents, but still entirely legible.

You might want to start out with the larger animals (unless you will draw them up front, you might get a problem that would make you stop later on).

Good luck!

Rawr. By the way, Lion's jaw is displaced. But overall, a good idea! We lack rectangular tilesets.
