CRTEGA [retro, square, 24x24]
« on: April 07, 2017, 02:35:03 am »
These tilesets emulate CRTs by resizing the EGA 8x8 tileset by 300%, recreating the 3x3 RGB bits in each pixel that you see when you sit too close to the screen, adding some soft scanlines, and applying a very faint glow...
Don't be scared...
I know these tilesets look crazy here, but they create a nice subtle retro vibe in DF.
I don't get to play very often so screenshots are welcome!

Looks interesting. Do you have any screenshots of the tileset in action?

I love your tilesets and glad to see another one, though  this one is quite big...

Here at Bay12 we excel at Theoretical Biology. Need to know the value of Merbone? Check. Need to know the density of a thrown Fluffy Wambler? Check. Need to know how a walking Mushroom can theoretically talk? Check.

No, but I do have a polaroid of the tileset on vacation.

Thanks!

There's no way to avoid the 300% increase in size without using a blended layer or a filter or something.
Every pixel needs a grid like this:

B|R|G
B|R|G
B|R|G

Which ends up making it 3x bigger...

It's really unfortunate.

This might be one of the best dead-pan responses I've ever seen on the internet. Kudos to you.
