That's right

That is right

Upright Metal Bars as Fences, Jail Cells, etc. (Also Grates and Cages.)

Oh my ... few more months of development and we can masturbate while watching this.

[Impaler[WrG]]

TMI!

here's an interesting article that may or may not be handy:

3D Terrain Transitions, though very nice, are going to be a fairly large commitment. I'd like to see all the basic terrain tiles done first, but that would definitely help the appearance of boxyness.

Alright, here's a first pass on the professions for the improved dwarves:

I tried to make the color of their clothing match the color each profession has in DF, but I'm not sure it works for all of them. If they all have the same color clothing, they'll each need pretty distinctive tools to differentiate between professions. What do you guys think?

@Jarathor: great work mate, i'd say they are much more in line with the general look put out by Nickel.
And the recolouring by Xandrin really did hit the spot for me, the white with brown bear dwarf seems just perfect.
Also loving the inspiration for the dwarf hats, based on the 3ps design right?

Well, I didn't do it consciously - although looking back at those again, I daresay I do see the resemblance - it's uncanny.

They are bald... I dunno if they should be bald. Anyway awesome dorfs.

They need hats.  Here's a magnified version of Sphr's dwarves if you need some hat inspiration.  He too used a combination of colour and tools to distinguish sprites.  See if you can identify the dwarves:

(I can load up the graphics.txt associated with these if you want)

Also, the Miner & Woodcutter are the only dwarves that appear to have an "active" stance with their tools raised high.  I'm not sure if I like it (I'd need to see it in action I think).  They look out of place with the rest of the dwarves in a relaxed state.

Apart from those two minor criticisms...these dwarves look pro.

I forgot to give them hair - the one dwarf from my first drafts that I used as a template was bald, and I forgot to fix that. Whoops!

My only concern with hats is that I might run out of interesting hats - I'll see what I can do to give them all something. Also, I see what you mean about the miner and the woodcutter - in the new version I'm working on, the miner is resting his pick on the ground, and the woodcutter is holding his axe sideways with his other hand. I'll get the new ones up tommorrow.

Might be useful might not. You will have to click to see.

This also means I've started on trees. 

[Neonivek]

Ohh will this game eventually take objects? or should I just give up on my hopeless uphill battle to make a good one?

[MatrexsVigil]

This also means I've started on trees. 

Yay!  I can't wait to see your trees after your great work on all the plants.  =)

Which size of sprites is currently supported? Base Stonesense comes with 32x32 tiles, but those humans fit in 64x64 only. What is the standard format, could someone link me to it?

Also, what is a quick way to download all the newest files from SVN  ? Thanks.

[Deon]

So what with the humans then? They are 64x64.

Here's a quick troll.

[Rose]

they are shown double size for clarity.

they are, however, 32x32

[Seuss]

So what with the humans then? They are 64x64.

Here's a quick troll.

Those humans are 32x32, just the ones he's showing here are 200% of the original size.

The issue with your troll sprite is he he doesn't fit into the boundaries of the tiles.
Everything that's white in this pic is drawing space everything black is no go zone.
