I kind of have to agree. (All honors on Phoebus). Getting rid of those whorls at the ends of the lines would make it look more like sand dunes, and less like delicious whipped topping.

[Phoebus]

Seas of whipped cream have been unintentionally released early.
I apologize in advance if I have to remove them next update; I have to respect 'the schedule'.

[Ockad]

We are the schedule, right?

The problem with solid black underground open space is that is looks exactly the same as solid black unmined rock.

Which color do you think represents environmental underground light the best?
I'd go with gray, but I'm not sure.

I found the solution; A very dark low altitude open space dot with a pitch black background.

I greatly improved the brightness and contrast of the new walls. They will be available in v03 or .26, whichever is sooner.

Spoiler: Old on the left side / New on the right side (click to show/hide)

Edit: I didn't like the new (right side) pillars so I changed them back to the old style already (left side).

Hooray! And then they ate Sir Robin minstrels... and there was much rejoice!

[Ockad]

bla bla Sir Robin minstrels... bla!

How do you know my name?

Also Phoebus, the new contrasting tiles are a huge improvement!
You're doing some great polishing stuff here, just splendid.

[Phoebus]

Luminosity and contrast of the new walls have been greatly improved.
The underground chasm open space tile now has a very dim dot in the center.
Color changes:
Brown is now lighter.
White, Light Gray & Dark Gray now have a very slight tan tint.

WoW! Those smooth walls and floors look great!

Thank you for this update again, Phoebus. It'd be nice to have FPS enabled by default too, so that I only have to unpack this, and update the savegames!

[Aydjile]

hey Phoebus. in my personal opinion - new wall look a bit "brutish". less subtle, compared with older version. so i always get this impression that it is a "space filler" and not a wall. i think it's because they don't have this little space, next to adjacent tile, like the previous wall had.

thank you and keep up the good work.

[Phoebus]

I'm giving a try to a new style of wall transitions (walls that end near rough stone): (edit version to the right)

Too bad we can't use them for wall-ending pillars.

Zoomed X2: (edit version to the right)


Edit: I've fixed the sidewalls on the terminal pillars and smoothed & adjusted the width of the top grooves on diagonal walls, this way they look like they are the same width as horizontal walls. That was the plan anyway.

[krenshala]

I like those.  They are similar to what I've been working on which was, I must admit, influenced by the walls you introduced a version or two ago.


I'm still working on the fine details, and they don't show engravings, as I haven't quite gotten the walls the way I'd like them to appear yet.   After that is done I'll be "fixing" them so engravings show up, but if you could update the 16x16_Kren.png with the walls from this .xcf I'd appreciate it.
