I'll take this as a "yes" in response to yesterday's PM. Anyways, I tried my own hand at pixel art, and I found that it isn't as hard as I thought it would be:

Here's some early screenshots of the Mushroom Forest so far. The map itself isn't completed yet, so I'll be taking suggestions for improvements.

Thanks, Axl. I suppose the real challenge for me will be making some tree-sized mushrooms, lol. So far I haven't tried anything that large, but I'll see what I can do.AxlTrozz wrote:Excellent, so you can take it from here, is correct, is not that hard, is more a matter of time and small details like perspective, shadows and minor considerations, but welcome as a pixelworker

Falcata, you should go for less regular and less straight shapes. More like the mushrooms by AxlTrozz. Do you notice how the stems aren't perfectly straight but bend? This looks much more natural.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
I'll be sure to remember that. The tiles I've made so far are still prototypes, so I'll be improving them a bit (starting with the tall, hollow ones).Crush wrote:Falcata, you should go for less regular and less straight shapes.

EDIT: Crush, how would I configure the particle system to cause some of the mushrooms (the tall, hollow ones) to spit up a cloud of spores at random intervals?

I decided to make this cave because Crush rejected my "Elemental Planes" proposal. The Plane of Earth was to include a number of exotic caverns, such as the Mushroom Forest.
A green cavern? Sounds fascinating. I'll do a palette swap of the cave tileset and see how it turns out.
