I've begun work on recreating the Newfirst tileset. The colors are organized, the tiles and combos will be organized, and the colors will look smoother. This tileset will not gouge out your eyes with a rusty knife.

I also want to make it complete by geting as much of the Gameboy Zelda game graphics as possible.

If there is any changes you'd like done with the palletes let me know.

Excellent work with the palette. You're trying to do the same thing with Newfirst that I did with BS (tone the palette down).

Skateboarder11 did this with Newfirst, too, but I have to admit I like your palette better. So far, at least.

Oh, and please tell me you're only joking about calling "NEWNewFirst"...I admit that I named my BS remake "New BS," but too many tileset authors just tack on the word "new" whenever they continue something that was originally somebody else's project.

(Besides, the alternatives, "Pure BS" and "Total BS," just didn't sound right...)

I'm either going to call it Newfirst, or maybe Super Gameboy Tileset(providing the title isn't taken by the time I finish)

Thanks.

I recommend using the name "Super Gameboy Tileset." It sounds more original. Since the maker of Newfirst didn't "hand over the keys" to the tileset (I assume), there's no reason not to give it a new name to reflect your personal touch.

And since there aren't that many tilesets that are expressly modelled after the Gameboy games, your name is probably safe...

I hue-shifted the pallete to make it more interesting, but I didn't get quite what I wanted because Newfirst only has 3-4 shades per color.

Either way, they don't burn my eyes, MoP and FW. Noicely done. I've been hoping for a better version. Are you going to add house tiles as well? It get's annoying ripping them into the newfirst set. And maybe some more dungeon wall varieties.

[Alestance]

I'm adding as much as I can without it turning into another pure set.

Good luck with that. Just don't do what I did with my Gameboy tileset, and put it on hold for 6 months. But luckily I am working on it again.

So, yeah, I'd love to see this. Possibly compare it to mine. And knowing my ability to produce tilesets, possibly learn from it.

Wow, that look has so much more... realisism!

"Brown?"

....Seriously though, I do actually like your palette edit, Fire Wizzrobe.

VGcats is so awesome, just check my avatar "Ahh my leg benders!"
Anyway, good luck on doing this tileset. I was going to do one with the exact concept as you were going to, but I lost interest a few days later after I made the post. I may see if I ever get around it but probably not. Good luck man.
