Umm...This is going to be the water animation?

Wow. I absolutely love your water graphics. I've been trying to figure out something to improve the Game Boy water graphics, and haven't been able to come up with anything too good.

Out of curiosity, how many more things do you have left until your tileset is complete? You seem to be making a ton of really great screens with what you've got so far.

I've got LOTS to do, ha ha. Gotta make connectives to the water now, for the cliffs, grass and dirt; going to need to do desert tiles, house tile variants for the other GB houses available, more GB trees updated, dungeon entrances, interiors, and all of the sprites including Link. But since this is all also for the Zelda game I'm developing, I'm feeding 2 birds with one seed =).

Wow that's pretty good. Maybe I should switch to ezgbz. Cause no one wants to pay attention to my DoR requests.

Which looks better, version 1 (left) or version 2 (right)?

Great job on the tiles so far!

Yeah, what Jared was saying about where dirt meets grass, it does look a little strange, but when I look at it again, it doesn't look that bad; it's just a little raised up, like the grass area is meant to be slightly higher than the dirt area, which makes sense since the grass should be taller. I think it's that we're just more used to seeing the old GB dirt-grass transitions.

The water... It seems version 1 has more contrast (though I like it anyway). Version 2 is a bit easier on the eyes, so unless anyone disagrees, I say go with version 2.

I may have to revisit the path tiles again.

Shallow Water!

I tried to reply earlier, but my laptop was acting up and refusing to let me actually post.

I was trying to say that I liked water tile #1 best, the second one seemed to move almost too quickly. It actually looked like it would look best for something like rapids.

It also gave me an idea. You know how Link's Awakening used those special water graphics to show currents when you played the raft game? Do you have any idea how to make them match the rest of the graphics you've made to work as something like an indicator to show raft paths or something? I tried messing with them before, and they still just look like big empty patches of blue in the middle of the water.

Have I said that this is absolutely beautiful?

Really, great job on everything you're doing here, Koh! It could be a hot tileset if you plan to release it!

Then #1 it is! And you mean with that Rapids "minigame?" Yeah I have those tiles, not updated yet, but I was just trying to think about how connecting them for smooth animation (to not make it look cutoff like it did on LA when it met another current going in a different direction)...we'll see how it goes when I get there.

Thanks~

Here's what I meant for smoother transitions with the shallow water. Not smooth on the left, smooth on the right.

Is this dead?

Considering this thread was 2 years old, I'd say so xD. I don't even have these files anymore, since the harddrive crash of October 2012. Luckily, one of my backup sites had at least the tiles. Here's the legacy of this project.

Honestly, there are many things that can be improved here, from all I've learned over all this time. But perhaps that's for the next future boredom.

Making Firebird before it was cool.  

Sadly, this looked like it would be a hot item around the database. Oh well, I do admit these are mighty gorgeous Koh!

Would you mind if I used these in a quest?

Feel free, you're free to use them.  That applies to any fan material I do.  I have no rights with regard to fan content anyway.  I only ask that credit is given to the artist.

 

EDIT:  Good news, I found the Link sprites.
