Wow and wow, like the tileset a lot Len! Nice work. Can't wait to see a story around this, it has a bit of a Gothic feel.

They are annoying to map, clash with complex map geometry, and most objects look well enough without.
I would prefer to give the players various visual effects that they can decide to use or just turn off. Anyways I'll go ahead complete the shadow layer, as I'm already invested in it.

Update: fixed a few tileling issues

That is awesome! Well, all I can say is post a .zip file containing all the finished desert tilesets and also the shadows, with a transparent background as soon as you are fully done.

Thank you very much,
Ali.

Like that?
Also, I've attempted to animate the town banners (but I'm way off)

Try bigger radius. And use layer mask in gimp to cut out non visible parts of shadows - that makes everything simpler.

Great work Len! Thanks a lot. I guess this desert tileset is now finished. Here is a .zip file containing all the finished desert tilesets. Bad tiles have been removed. Everything is now well organised. I'm marking this topic as [FND].

EDIT: Here are the final desert tilesets: http://www.mediafire.com/?h6zoc01jtlq7uc8

In fact, I just realized that this tileset lacks the water transition tiles... It would be good to have some, using the old water tiles. Changing this topic back to WIP.

Regards.

Speaking of this, I wondered whether deep (darker) water tiles would be a good addition. What do you think about it?
