Wow! Looks so awesome! Thanks!

[Newbunkle]

Ironhand, with these graphic set updates you're really spoiling us.

[Blah]

I wish this amazing graphic set had diagonal walls.

[gtmattz]

I wish this amazing graphic set had diagonal walls.

I have thought this at times as well.

[Ironhand]

Hmmm....

[Patchy]

I wish this amazing graphic set had diagonal walls.

I have thought this at times as well.

Yah, dunno how many times I've thought this as well. Pretty much the only reason I use Phoebus over Ironhands. I've even pestered Ironhand a few times about making some diagonal walls hehe. 

[Morwaul]

I like diagonal wall and corners as well.  I still use Ironhand's as it's just so pretty and I don't care for symbols in walls.  I would love to see some diagonals though.

Ironhand, maybe one of these days when there isn't an update coming out every other day and you get some free time you could make a second version with diagonals.  Just something to let people try out to see whether they like it more than the current method.  I would even be willing to help if you need it.  I have both Fireworks and Photoshop and am fairly competent with them though I have never done a tile set/graphics set of any kind.  I'm sure there is a guide somewhere that will walk me through the more complex parts.  Of course, if you don't like diagonals there is not really any reason to pursue it.  I'll be using your tile set/graphics set regardless.

btw, Thanks for all the work you do on this.  We really appreciate it.

Ironhand is taken by a fey mood!

Ironhand has completed Sexywalls, the Magical Pixels of Stone.



That's a tasty little teaser of the goodness that is to come next weekend.

I have decided I want to CLEAN UP this tileset. There is going to be a drastic difference between
ROUGH STONE and SMOOTH STONE. It is going to be AWESOME. Are you excited? I am totally excited.

But wait, there's more!
When I built the new wall template, I also made some diagonal ones.
The problem is that diagonal walls will be skinnier than the straight ones.
But my own preferences aside, I am going to try and get them pretty,
and include diagonal walls in the next package as well.

Get psyched!

[Morwaul]

Get psyched!

3, 2, 1, ....  PSYCHED!!  Is it done yet? How about now?  now? Ok, how about a beta? No, not the current release, a beta with all the walls already done...you know...a finished beta?  ?  How about now?




                                                                           ....now?

[NW_Kohaku]

Oh, that does look nice.  I look forward to it, even if it kind of intimidates me out of trying to make my own tilesets

[Hammerstar]

Even if I had some form of artistic ability, I wouldn't try to compete with this.

[Jeoshua]

Psyched about the diagonals.  Also, I LOVE the engravings.  They're very impressive.

[Ironhand]

Alright, here's what diagonal walls look like.
I personally like the square ones better, but these will be included as a separate sheet from now on!

[dieffenbachj]

I'm kind of meh about diagonals, since I'm an uncreative grid-based-room-layout bastard, but if it makes other people happy doesn't bug me none*.

What I want to see is some decent-looking coffins. I want something so smart-looking and unique that I will actually dedicate time and patience in creating an elaborate crypt, rather than simply being like "Oh, dwarves died? Eh... put their coffins in the cistern before we fill it up, then I won't have to look at the giant awkward 0's."

Bins and floodgates for that matter... giant X's look hella ugly. The hatch graphic would make a pretty decent floodgate, in my opinion--and while I haven't examined them too closely, the biscuit/random underground dot graphic could make a good bin.

But hey, I'm not the artist here (well, not for Dwarf Fortress anyway), and Ironhand has impressed me enough to leave it in his capable hands
