More Tiles from Me

[Hall Of Famer]

Just curious, are you planning to make more tiles in Acanthite style?

 

[Alistair]

Well, my flash drive caught the RECYCLER virus the other day. This means that I am going to have to redo (un-JPEG) all of my work that I did before, and posted on deviantART. Unfortunately, this also means that all the new Acanthite tiles are gone. Since I do not have backups or JPEG's of those anywhere, I cannot remake them. The next couple of days are going to be busy, to say the least.

That's a real shame alister. I mostly just stay on p.c. So as not to have that happen. sorry you had it happen...

Nice!! I really like the region map!!

 

[Alistair]

Well, I got the virus from setting up my 3G modem on my older desktop. The only sites I visited were Engadget, Google, OpenPandora, and here, so I don't know how I caught it.

Anyway, great news: I have recovered a good amount of my tiles. Even better news: I made some more along the way. Here is a little mapshot of some of the new ones.

They look great alister!! I am curious to see the game with all these awsome tiles. I hope to see more from you soon.

 

[Yuoaman]

Wow great stuff Don, I am really intrigued about what kind of game they will be used for.

 

[Waudby]

The tiles looks great so far, it's a good new look :)

However one thing that bothers me is the perspective of the tree bases's shadow, to me if seems to look a bit flat and not like it's being made by the tree :/

 

[Alistair]

Thanks for the comments, guys. I got done recovering all my tiles, and I made an updated version of Zephyr City thanks to the suggestions made by Neo-Dragon.

@ Waudby: Yeah, I know they need to be fixed. Before I start fine-tuning and adding additional details to the set, I want to complete it.

Wow allistar that's a nice town, Is it maybe for a game your makeing?

 

[Alistair]

Thanks. No, it is basically a test town for mapping style and showing off new buildings.

Anyway, here is one of the things I have been working on so far. Of course, saved as a JPEG to prevent theft. I don't really know what to make of it. I am thinking either boat dock or Safari Zone entrance/Safari Museum (which would mean a recolor).

Besides this, I have also been working on character templates (which is not going quite well at the moment), which I will show by making some sprites this weekend.

 

[Yuoaman]

Cool building Don. I think that the colors would fit a Boat Dock best. And I can't wait to see those sprites this weekend!

 

[Alistair]

Well, here is a small preview of what is going to come this Sunday. As you can see, I am still working some things out.

This is the only time you will see anything from this project in PNG.

Hahaha XD
Omg that's awesome man... Very impressive lol.
I think the lightposts should be moved like 2 or 3 pixels up, just so it's not riding the edge of the sidewalk.
Ha, those bushes look like they could be trees for a pokemon game. I can't wait to see the rest :P

 

[Alistair]

Thanks. I never noticed the lightpost thing before, thanks for pointing it out.

Anyway, I have made a couple of edits to the base sprite already. Although they are minor, they do make a difference. I'd like to know which one you prefer.

 

[Disturbed]

I say definitely the first one. All the others seem a bit fat to me D:

 

[Atomic Reactor]

I agree with Disturbed, the other 2 just seem kinda chubby. Although, maybe you could take your outline style on the third one, and apply it to the first ones frame?

 

[Hall Of Famer]

The OW sprite looks unique, I like it.

 

[Alistair]

i tried what you suggested, AR, and here is what came out of it (compared to the original).

 

[sab]

looks great! the second is the better one by far!
