What are the fifth and seventh row from the top?

The fifth row is hatch covers, I'm pretty sure. The seventh, closed floodgates maybe?

[Meph]

Pipe sections.

Pipe sections.

I find the last one (metal?) to be lacking in its indications of roundness, with the 3:rd one doing the best job in that department (probably due to the indication of a light source shadowing the lower half slightly, and the first two could probably get some improvement in that respect).

[Cruxador]

I'm not feeling the scaled look of the third hatch cover. I'm also having a hard time figuring out what material it's supposed to be (process of elimination implies metal, but I know you can make metal which looks metallic based on the armor stand).

How well do these sprites inherit the colors of their materials? Or is that something it'll be impossible to determine until Toady implements a more advanced system for that?

I find the last one (metal?)

Glass. Look at the corresponding table; you can see the legs through the surface.

If I'm being honest, the cabinets don't really fit the feeling too much. They have a very modern sleek look to them. But great job so far with everything. I especially like the tables and hatch covers although again, glass looks too modern in my opinion. Maybe make it a bit more stained glass like?

I agree on the cabinets. It seems most medieval cabinets had doors rather than drawers (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=medieval+cabinet&atb=v110-1&iar=images) so just changing that up could work.

I also agree.  To be honest I like the looks of beds, cabinets and pipe sections from the Meph tileset more.

I think the reason it's confusing is because specular highlights on cylinders basically always stretch out along the axis of the cylinder, and are narrowed along the circumference. The current highlight on the glass pipe isn't really possible IRL.



That said, the current glass pipe clearly belongs to the same set as the other glass furniture, so it may be that it's worth sacrificing a realistic highlight for the sake of making it clear that it's the same material in game.

I recently made a couple of animal men. Due to their low priority (quite rare) we will be planting animal heads and a few race-specific body parts on the same basic body, with hand and torso position being fixed.

That way we can hopefully overlay their correct equipment later on, breastplate, weapon, shield, etc.

The results are not super pretty, but I'd like to hear what you think nonetheless. The are WIP (which is why they look a bit rough around the edges here and there).

Can you use another color for the description ? It'l almost unreadable ? (dark brownish over black)

Maybe not the same sprite for Merpeople (and future fishy folk)?
They look like snake people here, as if they're using their tails to stand up on something as opposed to swimming (which is what they do 100% of the time).

Kind of boring overall, no representation of size differences for example (doesn't have to be perfect, but bird person meets elephant person is just going to look wrong). Animal sprites seem to at least attempt this.

Well, I guess it was always going to be a compromise to try to represent everything with graphics. Good job considering the monumental task. Just a shame Adventurer is still considered "low priority".

[Meph]

Not up to me. You know me, I'd make full civ sheets for all of those, in correct sizes.

It's more a budget restraint. Using the same base is faster (ergo cheaper).

[PlumpHelmetMan]

I like them for the most part given the inherent limitations, though I'm with Shonai on the merperson thing.
