I'm excited for the arabic-style tileset. I like its walls.
Soon, hopefully. It's mostly done, it just needs a few hours of polish at this point. I'm still holding out on finishing my big Revised update first. I have 9 descriptions left in creature_tropical_new and 20 or so in creature_subterranean, but then it's clear sailing. I have a lengthy todo list but I'm quick on the command line with grep and quick text replacements, so I don't expect most of it to take long. It honestly took me twice as long to write one description than it did to grammar check
every description for gender mistakes with a few quick searches. Plus, most of the big ticket items on the todo list have been punted over to my
next Revised release.
I'm still hoping to do lots of editing on them, but I'm much, much faster at editing than I have been at writing. I love reading Paulo Coelho and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and my translations of the The Little Prince and The Alchemist have an almost childlike quality to the prose that I keep wanting to mimic (poorly). Lots of mass simplifications of words in my GitLab history. I'm not always sure how far to go with it, but it's fun to think about. (Can easily replace feline with cat and it works in all cases, but apparently the same can't be done with canine to dog, because nobody likes to call wolves dogs for arbitrary reasons. Go figure).
Anyways. Rambling aside, this should all be happening much sooner than expected. Once I start drawing tilesets or editing Revised I quickly get engrossed in the task, but writing these formulaic descriptions has really worn me down, and I've been determined to finish that first. Thankfully I'm in the last stretch now.
I didn't think diagonal hollow looked silly.
Well it does look futuristic. I'm considering fattening the lines, which might help, but it might be best to let it be and keep the diagonal walls for the artistic and solid wall sets.
