BUY SOMETHING WILL YA

This last week has definitely been an adventure in CSets.  At least my labours bore fruit.

@Astromeow, I WILL BUY SOMETHING. I mean, it looks pretty nice, but kinda too empty, probably some more stuff in there would look nice.

 

@Geoffrey, Some nice palettes going on there. And may I ask, what language is that supposed to be? Looks like Italian or Latin.

[Astromeow]

Good stuff Geoffrey! It reminds me of an updated 2014 version of Kid Icarus but not as lame and bubbly. I cant wait to see this in action, especially those keese and link sprite

Dude, that is freaking awesome! Love that ancient greek style. I've wanted to do something like that since I first saw the Disney Hercules movie way back. I dig it. Easily one of the more unique and original things I've ever seen done in ZC!

[Geoffrey]

Thanks, guys!  I am hoping to release a demo shortly.

 

The language is Latin.  For the demo file I've changed all the strings to English, but I will ultimately release two versions.  I have an exam steadily approaching, and so I thought it was a good way to study.

Can I like a post twice? Because I would for yours. You better release this. O.O

I am flattered, really.  Don't worry; I will.

 

And, if for whatever reason I don't finished it, I will release the tiles for someone else to take charge.

I like what I'm seeing. No, I love it.

Here's the first screenshot of my new dungeon-in-progress: Aeol Monastery.

 

The small blue glimmer near the player is all that remains of a hardhat beetle. Those can fall into bottomless pits, too. Ha ha.

 

I can't shake the feeling that there should be more variety of detail here. Am I missing something? If so, what?

 

I know DoR has trees-from-a-distance tiles, but this isn't built over a forest - it's built over a mountain range. And this tileset seems to have little in the way of mountains-from-a-distance tiles.

 

Edit: Added one of the more "open" interior screens as well.

It'll probably be a little tricky to find small mountain tiles that fit a top down perspective, but I bet you could use some overworld tiles from some final fantasy game or something. Spriters resource is down at the moment and I'm too lazy to find another site to look at.

No detail or NPCs yet, but I am going for a new type of layout for a new town I'm building.

Ohh...I'm really liking the palette you have going on here! There's a strong emphasis on navy all throughout, which is definitely one of my favorite colors. It really breathes new life into those old tiles. Hmm...but something's really off-putting about the road. The bright beige stones blend in with the road too much (make the image grayscale and you'll see what I mean) while the dark navy stones are waaaaay too dark. Try experimenting with some other colors or just make all of the stones gray to fix that tiled look.

That palette is actually a placeholder. A new palette is in development for this village. I was trying to go for a town feel for this map. I'm trying not to make the map feel like a grassy field with road in it. That's the reason for those beige stones.
