Here, at this place!

Hey folks! I've been around this place as a lurker mostly but, after seeing krugg-smash, BlindIRL and a few others I was inspired to try modding DF a little. The biggest thing I've wanted is to have Dwarf Fortress take on a Papery sort of feel. I haven't gotten those colors down- and I did try a few based on cartography -but, I feel I've gotten a product together that would be good to share. The text is based on the New Courier Font and is adjusted for readability on all Modern monitors. However, by deafult it's rather large. I'm working on a smaller one, as just scaling things down could get ugly and I'm not sure how it'd look..

If I had to guess, by default it's a 16x16 tile-set it was based on the Standard Curses but upscaled by 100% to make it easier to edit and fuss with. (pixels are hard!).  Really it's been in my computer for a while so I really don't know. That's the best i can recall.... Either way!


Here is my tile-set, and the colors I use for my own game as well as a few experimental shots I've taken as I've tried figuring out the colors.

You can go to my GitHub here to get the colors as well as the file! Standard Colors are best I feel.

I'm currently with a fortress that has a Civilization that isn't doing so hot... They were from the far west and, towers got'em...



But!, We've come back quite nicely! Especially thanks to the volcano! HAIL THE BLOOD OF ARMOK!


And Animated for good measure!



The starting page, taken with the window scaled down a bit. I play with the window maximized normally. 1900 by 1200 if you're wondering, looks great~!





Inverse Colors 1



and then inverse Colors 2

Spoiler: and two full-screen (1900x1200 Screenshot in full-screen mode) screenshots. Spoiled to help with space or on smaller Monitors. (click to show/hide)

This isn't the, fanciest, maybe, and I'm not planning for anything larger than this, but, It's fun to experiment with things and figure this out. If you have any input, or wish to make changes, reach out to me in DM or here.

Otherwise, I hope you all enjoy it for what it is.

Edit:Yes, It has Dots, yes, that's the intent. This is basically a tile set to feel like it was Drawn or using a Type-writer. I kept the Standard Dorfs cause I like'em.

Change Log::
1.0.0  Initial release
1.0.1 Slight change to sheet to make wheelbarrow sprite more on center and some other cut-offs.

Brilliant stuff! The combo of the serif font and the tinted colors really sells that paper feel you were going for.

[ASquishyBean]

Thank you kindly~!

I'm still gonn'a work on it, but it's not something I plan on making into a full-blown graphics set, at least, not at the moment.

[ASquishyBean]

Stlight change to things. Made the Wheelbarrow a bit more defined and more like the usual wheelbarrow and not cut off.





and here is the old one.

Not much of a change.

Forgot to add the updated file to the git-hub, whoops... Also added a change-log for inevitable changes as we eventually get into the Steam release.
