how about this rough and ready angle design

looks a bit too isometric, and needs to be bashed about a bit with grass and cracks and a symbol

But, we can't be too religious

we need generic; or some TMW back-story religious symbols.

looks great but its missing something i cant c idk what it is though... maybe one of the more advanced graphics artest could spot ? but relly to me it looks perfect..............oh try and use up all 32x32 pixles

meway can you add some grass and ageing to that angled grave?

sure when i get home. Im at school, but give it a try u did a great job with grass on that last one. kk its good practice......lol the devs still agree that i need a bit myself lol.. but ideas are ideas even if the product is not perfect. just IMO.

Yoshuhara had a few ideas for tombstones from the old Cemetery Map thread

i also have a rough concept for big crypt...

These might be able to be salvaged or expanded apon as well...

Perhaps the TMW symbol can be incorporated on the grave stones

The backstory practically writes itself

I might start work on a an opening crypt => spooky jumpy out skellingtons!

my opinion,

assuming this graveyard is relatively small...

gravestones are not natural. They were put there by people; who tend to put graves in straight lines. I completely agree that there should be some stones that are not aligned due to ground movements or whatever, but if you make a headstone that is off-set somehow, you will need to make another of that same headstone facing another direction for realism.

Anyhow, I think this cemetery should have the traditional rounded slab headstone for 95%, maybe 3 to 4 versions of it in various states, then one moderately bigger looking headstone (repeated twice, maybe 3 times) and a mausoleum/crypt.

And a few flat ones that go on the ground.

It's all in the texture my friend, look at Yoshuhara's stones and the texturing on them - that stereotypical "boring" shape is perfect!

0,o meway going to sleap now he will think of something...<---(...)

wasn't there a war? Should the graves be more like: http://www.madingleyamericancemetery.in ... -large.jpg?

Perhaps an old grave yard and a new graveyard?
