Hmmm, I think the 20x20 definitely needs some tweaking. Something about it, to me at least, just doesn't have the same charm. I think it's a lot of the edges and things like that, once blown up look kind of awkward and need be restored to their crispness at the bigger size.

I think you're right. It does needs some work. Fortunately, I just got home again today, and now have a lot of time again to play Dwarf Fortress and take another look at the large tilesets. Thanks for the critique. I'll accumulate some changes over the next few days so as to avoid twelve or thirteen cumulative revisions.

This might be really off topic, but, I've a question Taffer.

Your alias, was it encouraged or even inspired by the Thief series? Or was it something you came up with originally?

My alias is a reference to the Thief series, the first two being some of my favourite games. Played fan missions for years with dwindling frequency.

Unrelated, but the large tileset update is giving me difficulties, so it might be a bit yet before it gets updated.

I've not used this tileset yet, but I plan to eventually try it out. Until then, I'll just hang about on the forums, posting here and there.

Also, likewise. I too liked Thief: The dark project, and Thief: The metal age. (Or you can just call them thief 1 and thief 2.) Nye. Taffer.

They're harder to make as if they fit, appearance wise.

I'm pleased you like it. After Christmas, I'm planning on finishing up the second version of the larger tilesets, which will likely result in a more pleasing aesthetic. Keep an eye open. Cheers!

EDIT: I've stealthily, in ninja-like fashion, done a quiet update of the larger tilesets. Some of the most egregious problems were fixed, to my mind, although the CLA addon remains without an update. I still think they look fairly good overall, it's just that large tilesets aren't my own cup of tea. More updates are promised.

I used your tileset in Fallout 1.0 for ASCII, thanks man.

Better late than never, but you're welcome. Thanks for your mods!

Updated the front post, finally, with screenshots in different colours in an attempt to show the tileset in differing colours. The new pictures are all nice and gory. Hopefully necromancers aren't considered spoilers, but so far as I can tell they aren't. If they are let me know so I can fix both this post and the front post accordingly.

Nice to see you fixed the lower right corner graphic for the double wall version. Drew me halfway insane until I switched to the, slightly less attractive, fat wall graphic. Cheers.

Is there any way to do a 15x15 in addition to the 10x10 and 20x20? The former is to small for my little macbook air and the latter is to large. I think the 15x15 would be just right.
