Yeah, I saw him pop up and was like "oh yeah, getting in on this now" right off the bat, that statue tile makes me want to steal it. I already did a lot of mix/match when I personalized my bisasam text/map sets.

Oh, please, be my guest. Use it if you want. I'd just like to have it a more complete tileset before seeing them tiles released in another set. But I won't forbid it, you can do as you please with it . That way perhaps I can see some screenshot of how they look ingame

[Max™]

Oh, I wouldn't pass them off as my own, I had at one point kept track of where the bisasam+more tiles I used came from but suffice to say it was a lot. I will definitely keep it in mind though since GemSet uses a text tileset+capitalizing on graphics set/twbt stuff rather than a map tileset, so once he gets the walls and stuff ready I'll poke around a bit and do stuff like that.

Thought I'd be clever and try to use it as an override but unless I'm missing something twbt doesn't want to put a 32x override on a 24x tile while there are 48x overrides in place. >.<

Just one thing: Please dont delete the other versions once you decided on one. I saw you made several statues, coffins, etc.

There can still be used with TWBT as custom workshops for decorational purposes.

I agree I love choices and with twbt and overrides and even if you have multiple creatures tiles as choices (like the dogs and cats you did for spacfox) that'd be great to. It would definitely make the tileset much more popular/unique if there were multiple choices and maybe even someone will create a program to actually easily make those changes (but they are easy anyways). That doesn't mean it is required or you should feel that you have to make multiple choices for anything. For the starterpack and the like. Plus it gives Meph room for all his creatures in masterwork and other mods.

---LeoCean I curse you for showing me that tiles ---

I'lll gladly accept it, Obsidian gave into life after showing us those beauties how could I sit back and not have more eye candy. It's as the other guys said 24x24 may be most convenient for people at the moment but screens are getting bigger and better resolutions and dwarf fortress isn't near completion, having a 32x tileset as an option is not a bad thing. Plus seeing obsidians work how could I not tempt you to make 32x, I've seen the difference between the two .

The choices thing also gives you room to make others happy and yourself happy though, that's why I did the multiple tilesets for spacefox, because if I had to choose between making me happy and others happy for the tileset I'd choose me.

Oh, don't worry about that Meph. I'm a graphics hoarder. I was planning on releasing commented overrides or something like that. Probably a set containing all the leftovers?

Worry not, making multiple versions is part of my normal process. I seem to not be able to choose between two options unless I see them fully renderend in front of me, so there'll be options for a lot of things. Wether that's good or bad remains to be seen

It's a shame you can't fully override workshops, and so many other things. Though I still will have my hands full with the things you can do

[Godlysockpuppet]

I like these tiles so much, I found the time to start porting them to 16x16

Zoomed right in

Update!

Gonna leave it at that till I find myself with more time, I'll finish it off in 3 weeks or so. Mid exams right now.
Feck it, final update!

[Meph]

They give me a strong Warcraft II feeling.

I think you should go with whatever size is more comfortable for you to work with. A tileset by a real artist will be great anyway, and definitely better than if you abandon the work because you're not comfortable with the chosen size.

[zilpin]

32px, absolutely.

We sorely lack 32px.
Screen resolution is so high these days, no excuse not to, imho.


Beautiful pixel art, there.  Very much will follow this.

[oriramikad]

I vote for 32px! More detail is always better. And being able to pick and choose the tile versions I like best would be amazing.

The raised pipe and coffin look wonderful -- if the walls were raised, too, it would make forts feel much less flat.

My daughter is ill with varicella and I haven't been able to check around here, neither doing much work on anything, but I haven't forgotten this, in case anyone was wondering

Some new answers since the last time I checked, and everyone seems to agree on 32 px. Well, to be fair, everyone agrees on "do what you fell more comfortable doing".

So that settles it, I'm going for 32 px then. With the technology increasing in cheaper, higher resolution screens, and mifki improving twbt there's no reason not to work on (almost) any size you want.

I've been doing what I could given the circumstances, trying styles and designs at that size. But always doing useful (albeit unsorted) tiles. Now that my little one is getting better and I'm going into the right mindset I'll be asking some questions about the organization and such. Important things for me, not to work in vain.

I think I'll be keeping this thread open while I organize things and until I have something more complete so I can open a proper "Tileset thread". That way this can be the thread spammed with questions, and half baked images.

He, I sort of forgot that weapons, shields, etc can/must be colored. I got caught in the "greyness"
