Bushels! Viva La Revolution! Or maybe evolution. Didn't see that one coming, heh.

SURPRISE!


Mandrills!
War mandrills!!
Gazelles, camels, wolves, mountain goats, marmots...

Plants and trees have had a complete makeover!
They are so awesome.

Also, harvested plants are stored in bushels and sheaves.

Loads of minor fixes and adjustments.

Hopefully that'll tide you all over until 0.50.
Which is going to be AWESOME.

By the way.

[Cheddarius]

How many tiles have you made so far? How many are there total? I remember you said 400 total or something... something like that... but I don't remember the exact number.

[Rebirthocool]

Sweet! this new release is exactly what im looking for! thanks!

[Ironhand]

Glad to hear it!

Cheesey: Are you asking tiles or sprites?

There are 256 tiles,
and it's not so much a matter of how many we have,
but rather a question of how many more times we'll change them.

There is a tile in every spot. But they are always prone to change.

As for the critter sprites, there are hundreds and hundreds.
And if I ever get done with those, there will always be more.
I've said I might take a look at some mods, or something.
I dunno. That is all a very very very long way off.

I assume the reason you're asking is so you can get a sense for whether
0.50 actually means half-way.

It probably does not.

We might very well get to version 1.0 with a good stack of stuff undone.
But I hope to be completely happy with the tileset and most of the dwarves by then.

[Cheddarius]

Sprites, I meant. I thought there were only a limited amount? Some creatures, and the baby/zombie/skeleton versions of each... yeah, mods could add a lot.
I'm asking because I'm wondering how far we are from a true unique Ironhand set, where every tile used is made completely from scratch by either Ironhand or Worm Slayer.

[Ironhand]

We are pretty far from that yet.

There are a LOT of sprites.

[Cheddarius]

Yeah...

Completion is kind of hard to define for this project... As long as Toady keeps adding new stuff and (hopefully) more graphics support, the list of stuff we have to make expands... I just counted, and in the tilesheet your playing on right now there are 67 tiles I made from scratch. I do plan on eventually replacing all the ones we borrowed from other people sets, as I said before; not because I hate them, but because I have crazy OCD like that >.o

But yeah the main tile sheet is only the tip of the iceberg - So many creatures... IH will be an old man like me before he finishes!

Good call on the bushels though, that was on my to-do list for planty things! They are awesome, but (as always ) I have one tiny crit; The vertical wickerwork is slightly more visible than the horizontal - It makes me think of little cupcakes with the wrinkled greaseproof paper?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[Ironhand]

I wasn't really going for a woven basket, if that's what you mean.

It's more of like... a half a barrel.
Bushels a la google.

[WormSlayer]

Not sure why I have such a basket-like mental image...

Such a useful tile though - Could be a bushel of pretty much anything with the right colours

Like Dimple Cups or Plump Helmets?

[McBeer]

Could be a bushel of pretty much anything

.. laundry basket?

hm, could someone tell me, if theres any way for making laundry-workshop?
I mean, you know, way of making place for..cleaning bloodstained clothes, etc?

btw, i admire that new quiver, plants 'n trees, and generally, everything(water!).

[Cheddarius]

Not sure why I have such a basket-like mental image...

I think it's because in this tile format, the bottom is rounded, like a basket, or an upside-down dome, while an actual bushel has an edge, like a upside-down conic frustum.

[Dearnen]

I've gotta say, I'm now hungry for cupcakes.
