[Lord Dullard]

this is an interesting simple tutorial you might find interesting

Thanks. I actually edited the font/tile that way on purpose, to try and create the effect of 'waves' in the water, but I probably failed miserably. I'll try a more generic-looking/even tile next to see if that's any better.

That looks very smexy. I love the shallow water tile gradient into deep. I'm going to stoke your ego a bit and say that's like small scale DF levels of natural beauty.

More experimentation with 'tiled' fonts. In this one the grass, desert, mountains, and water all have texture. Trying to decide whether I like it or if I should just go back to solid colors. I do like that it blends the edges of deserts into grass more evenly. Oh, and I edited the water tile to be (hopefully) less annoying.

nice!
>.> the blending in is a nice addition.
and it could also be used programming side, right? like, to stop civilizations based on farmland to go on and civilize the desert. when there is a "blending" tile with desertic zone go "alt" . >.> (or similar dunno how you coded it)

Those kinds of restrictions are already accounted for in the code (any tile with desert is already designated as such in the world feature dictionary), but thanks for the idea.

Posting to follow. Looks great so far!

[nenjin]

Yeah I like the look of that better.

[Sentientdeth]

So beautiful...

[Aklyon]

Looks cool.

I actually preferred the nontiled fonts for the water and the terrain, but that's just me.

If you could choose randomly from more than one tile for displaying these textured regions, that would help to reduce the griddy visual artifacts further.  (I don't know if libtcod imposes font size limits on you or whatnot.)

Is it possible to dig out walls and build stuff?

Is it possible to dig out walls and build stuff?

No, not yet. Sadly I haven't had much time to work on this lately. Once I get the main game engine going, however, I do plan on having modifiable terrain as well as a building engine that will allow the player to save architectural 'blueprints' of their own making and then reapply them to any other suitable location.

Those are some pretty nifty tracks!
