The Mana World Forums

I restarted to work on my old tileset from the Alpha release.
Yet, what can be considered as done are 2 of the 3 ground texture (the wood one was done by Lien and IvanMorve). Edit : Current advancement at 5am :
Walls (top wood, bottom wood, wall itself), window, door can now also be considered as done. I'm currently working on the curtains.

Yay! Evol gameplay can now equal Zelda's one, we can have our jar houses as well!

Im not sure about the wood between the floor and the wall. especially near the door it looks like the wood is lying on the floor instead of being part of the wall. Other than that, I like it very much

Hey Reid, awesome work, I love it! Though, one thing I think doesn't work in this indoor tileset is the windows. You cannot have the windows look the same indoors and outdoors. I'm talking here about the little "step" in front of the window. It should be done outside, but not inside. In other words, the indoor windows must be in the continuity of the wall.

I didn't forgot you fools, I tried to keep in mind what you both said and I started to work on stairs. (This one is from the alpha release, it won't be used as is)

Nice work Reid!
I like the new floor, however, it isn't flat enough. I looks in fact a bit out of place because the colors it has makes it look too much in 3 dimensions... maybe lower the contrast?

The door looks much better now. The new wall tiles will make the houses interesting too. I think the lower beam should continue, and not behind the small vertical beams.

About the new floor I agree with Alige. It looks great, but there is too much depth.

I'm not fond of the innercorners with the beams though. In my opinion without the beams the innercorners looks better. Though I think that is more a mapping thing, than a tileset thing Just like there is a wooden floor behind the door instead of grass.

Since the houses have diagonal walls outside, are you also going to draw diagonal walls inside?

Could you show me on the preview? I don't see what you mean. alt25
Yes for the window/grass and door/ground that was a test that I forgot to remove.

Good question, should I?
I won't work on diagonal fringe tiles, so there will just be the wall and probably the window which will be in diagonal.

About the new floor, it was intended to have some depth, I wanted it to look like Lunar's tileset (sadly I lost the preview...), is it really wrong? Because that's somehow hard to remove this effect.
The effect was intended to show some floor bricks, some kind of indoor pavement.

Evol looks so good. I'll never get tired of saying this.
I like the indoor stairs, it makes the place more interesting.

I do think it needs to be fixed, look at where it stops near the wall, or where the pots are. It looks like the pots are flying above the floor.

Really quick edit, as I should be working instead of doing pixelart

I used to map indoors this way, but now that I think about, that's really bad. I'll commit something about it tonight, on the meanwhile, I'm about to be done with this tileset! ^-^
I just need to work on some fringe elements, do you think about something else to work on for that tileset?

Why have the vertical stairs have railing, but the horizontal ones don't have?

The tileset looks good to me! The only thing left I don't like is the transition between the floor and stairs, especially with the wooden floor.

That's bugging me too, but I don't know how to fix it, an idea? A workaround would be to place a rug everytime that we use a stair...

Vertical stairs lead you to another map's level and horizontal ones just make you go down of less than a tile, I tried to make it clean so that it doesn't overload player's eyes.
