Title: NEW TILESET - Chinese Architecture - by Davidwat
Post by: Davidwat on December 29, 2013, 21:54:11
Hello everyone! Happy new year!  :)

This is my very first tileset with 10 chinese-inspired houses/buildings/temples and some other stuff aswell.

Please tell me what you think! And feel free to use it, and do whatever you want with it~

 In my opinion, it looks fantastic.
Not only it fits with the theme so well, but the buildings are perfect for placing in the background of Chinese themed towns/ cities or just Chinatown.

Your pixel art skills are superb. Those buildings are fantastic. The ground tiles look good too, but they're not well suited to game design. You should be able to create rectangles of any size and shape.

PS: Welcome to the forum. :)

It's beautiful and very detailed tileset, true piece of (pixel) art ! However, it might be difficult to use it. Your buildings are solitaires, they doesn't look like a city, just like a row of random buildings. It will work perfectly in combination with some landscape tileset.

Great buildings I am impressed. Though I think it'd be better increasing the size 2x or more since they don't fit ks proportions.

I think they'd work well for background decoration currently.

Welcome, Davidwat! I like this a lot and hope you make more tilesets. I find a good way to develop a functional tileset is to start making a level with an unfinished one and fill in the tiles as needs become apparent.

I combined this set with my own stuff (some carefully made long ago and some hastily scribbled moments ago,) and created this example screen.

Wow, Ego, that looks great. o:

This is a really nice-looking tileset, Davidwat. As others have said, welcome to the forums! You've got skill; we're looking forward to more from you.
