Hmm but I never saw a sign that is made of a complete tree trunk :D

Oh and don't forget that the bark needs to be removed and most probably
some of the outer regions of the trunk. As the core is the best material.

the release of the tileset comes closer and closer.

i just uploaded a new version to the wiki.

as you can see there are only 7 tiles left. so if there is something you want to have on the first woodland maps, then say it now.

when i made these 7 tiles and a 3rd ground tile i will declare the tileset as ready for mapping. that means that you can start building maps with the tileset because i won't make any changes at the organisation. i will still make some improvements but i will only make changes which don't affect the integrity of already made maps.

And ofcourse don't be afraid to add a second tile bitmap for the same tileset.

i already thought about this but there are some technical problems which have to be solved before this makes sense.

Nice tiles, but with the new character sprites going to replaced the old small sprites you have to remember that they are 64x tall sprites and you have to remember that when you make objects like tree's and things so you adjust to that, other then that good job.

Hey Crush, did you make those examples with tiled ?
They looked like parts of maps that could be used...

A little modification, and you have a small map ready to play :D

i think the path could use some more work. as is, it looks kinda "wet" (shouldn't it be dry since it's exposed to the sun?) and not path-like, more like a spot of soil where all the plants just (magically) disappeared. it should be lighter (more like the cliffs; making it look less wet) and with a less harsh border (softer transition towards grassy areas) i think.
as for the remaining tiles, how about some more variations of grass, but with a little soil showing through?

note that the tileset in the package is a new version which doesn't contain any new tiles but is slightly reorganized. i would have uploaded this version to the wiki but it is down atm.

Everything is of a standard height (the cliffs mostly) and the forrests look too regular to be natural and too clamped to be tended.

Other than that it looks relatively good.
