Title: Dandelion's tilesets and gradients
Post by: Dandelion on May 24, 2009, 06:25:09
I'll be posting all my KS tilesets in this thread. If this isn't the right place to put them, please move it.
I know the KS archive will likely have something like this, but for now it won't do any harm to post a few tilesets here will it? So far I have 2 tilesets I'm ready to show, but some others are on the way. I just made these for fun, and they aren't very good compared to some other tilesets, but they're useable. You may use or edit them for anything as long as you credit me.

The first tileset is House in the hollow tree. If you use it along with Tileset 139, Paula's "World with lotsa color" you can make shadows. A screenshot example.

There are a few flaws, like how I forgot to add a door for the inside, but IMO it's ok. Also, it's signed Pearl because I didn't have my account or username at the time I made it, and used my first name instead.

Another tileset! This time it's a remix of Nifflas' "Flower garden". It gets remixed a lot, but I haven't seen a remix like this before. I use MS paint, so the gradient is just a solid block of black. Oh well. And DON'T tell me not to use Mspaint. A lot of topics get ruined by suggestions to use other programs, and Mspaint is my favorite thing to use.

I made another tileset! A good one this time! X) I noticed a wasteland tileset was missing. There are plenty of tilesets you could use for a wasteland but I can't really find any with a wasteland theme in mind. So here's my wasteland tileset! Enjoy! Tilesets tend to look better in the game, so I made this screen up really quickly. It's certainly not the extent of what can be done with this tileset, but it helps you get a sense of what it looks like in a level.

In the second tileset, the big black box that's supposed to be the ground. The white-ish gray color contrasts too much.

What do you mean? The mountain color? I like it that way, on the origanal it's hard to see the background flowers against them. Or do you mean the color on the stripes? I like that too. If it was darker it would be hard to see.

Nice tileset. Is it free to the public, with the understanding that we need to credit you?
Title: Re: My tilesets

Glad you liked it! Yes, this is free to use or edit as long as I'm given credit. And I would appreciate it if you were to make a remix if you would credit yourself as well as me.

Tileset 0! X-P I'm so glad someone liked these! I figured no one would.

Finally, a new tileset! It's beta, but still. I noticed that someone on the old forum requested a dwarf cave like LotR, and that sounded cool to me. I know pretty much nothing about LotR, so this tileset isn't inspired by it, but it is a dwarf cavern. I just started on it tonight, and ideas are welcome. I would urge you not to use it until it is done, however.

Me! \o/
And I'm sorry to say it, but that isn't very dwarvish :/
I'll get you a picture of the sort of thing I want.

Here's the sort of stuff it should contain. Lots of pillars, you know, and really spacious.

The pillars should be easy enough, a couple of end bits and a middle bit. But I don't really like the shape of the pillars there. This next picture shows kind of how the mines look in the movie:

All squarish, you see? So, yeah, if you'd like to take another crack that would be great, but if not, that's perfectly fine. Thank you for your time X-P

 :ohnoes: Aw, I thought I was doing it right. Sorry, but I'm not really taking your request. I had an image in my mind of what a cave with dwarves would look like, so that's what I made. Your request did give me inspiration for this tileset however.

The tileset? When it's done. You can use it now if you want though.

EDIT: I made some more stuff.

Changelog:


Any ideas on what else I could add? What would be useful in a tileset like this?

I hate to bump, but I'm desperate for ideas. I'm totally stumped as to what I could add. I REALLY want to finish this tileset! :(

Wondrous, epic win.

Thanks! :) I'm close to finishing another tileset too.

The wasteland tileset is awesome. I think I'll find some use for that in Falling Water... :-)

(Though my available tileset slots are *really* beginning to fill up...)

The community tileset number two had a wasteland theme, if I remember correctly.

CT2 Is a futuristic city. But CT6 is a ruined city, and CT3 is a dumpyard. Those are kinda similar.

Mind you, neither CT2 nor CT6 got enough interest, and weren't finished, and CT3 had too many really crappy tiles (unfortunately some of them were mine, ergo, the toxic waste barrels).  None of them are really usable.

I'm especially disappointed about CT6, as it seemed like it could've been really high quality.  But that's probably just because I started it.
