so i am working on the mountains, and this is what i have so far.



yes, the grass is repetative, but i had touse something. what do you think about the grass, mountains, and pallete so far? just look at the screen, not the tiles.

I like the mountains. The grass is ok, I could use more patterns. The palette, nah, the browns are good, but the greens..., I don't like them, they are too green.

[ElLibertador]

The mountains are great, I really like those.

The grass...I don't like so much. I also don't like the grass at the top of the mountain. It looks too dark, and it looks like it fades into the grass below it.

The palette is ok. I really like the browns, but the grass is too green for me.

My two cents.

The Cow Set wow
looks like it will be an awesome tileset

yes, the grass is repetative

Yes it kinda is but mostly on the top of the mountains, and usually the grass on top of the mountains are slightly different.

[TetriTek]

thanks for the feedback. i was going to make the grass on the mountains lighter. but im not sure. i will change the green. and the mountain grass a bit.

[ElLibertador]

Suggestion...

It seems the mountains will get repetitive in lined usage.

You should try making four different tiles for the wall of the mountain.

So it would go like that. Get it? I almost don't so

[TetriTek]

oh, no, i understand exactly what you are talking about, thats how i like to use them. its kinda like dithering.
i just havent got around to making a new tile for those. i will later.

Update: worked on the pallete. and a little of the mountains.
New.

How do you like the mountains in the corner of the screen? thats all i have of them, but should i finish them?

Old.

yeah, way too green.

what do you think?

[KaBoom]

The grass is much better now, and the overall palette now has a desaturated look that works well. The new rocky mountains are very good too, I like them even better than the first ones.

[NoeL]

Very square. Reminds me of an old DOS game for some reason.

[TetriTek]

thanks, anything i can do to the mountains that would make them look better?

[CastChaos]

I think the mountains are perfect. I like them also because they are like some surface mine walls and "next to road" mountains around the town I live. Though, these were made artificially when opening stone/clay mines and building inter-town roads...

And the new grass is also really great.

[TetriTek]

Thanks CC.

Update: added new diagonal mountain tiles.

only have the front facing ones, but how do they look?

[CastChaos]

They as good as the straight ones, except that the straight ones have some little grass/leaf outcrops. You should add some to the diagonals, too. Diagonal is very important if you don't go for some simple rectangular design.

[Twilight Knight]

Hmm, the grass looks good now, less repitive. The palette is better too.
Good job!

The angles are far too sharp. They need to be much rounder. However, I love how they show depth. Very nice
