I've tried my hand at this and drew an ornamental tree and some bushes (the type you would find in a town plaza). I'm not sure if the final result goes well with the rest of the tileset, though, since my usual style seems to be much more "borderless". What do you guys think? I could try and make a different version with darker borders.

Edit: Removed the old tileset to comply with the rules

Hmm, not quite what I had in mind, but I think it will do just fine.

I finished the pale yellow ground, and added a floor covering that resembles the brickwork that Vegetal Gibber did. This covering can be placed over any ground tile, but care should be used to ensure that floor solidity is maintained when using it.

Finished my background buildings. Added corner tiles for Fubaka's floor covering.

Edit: I started an interior version of this set. :^^: Should be able to use walls, doors, and windows from the outdoors set.

Ah, good idea. Sadly, I have no ideas for the interior tileset yet.

For the exterior, I added a whirligig in a different position, a larger chimney (possibly for jumping into) and alternate windows with curtains in them.

Since this is my first time doing this, I decided to go the easy route by doing some grass/pebbles. Let me know if you need anything changed/moved.

Nice! An interior version will be a very useful addition :) I'll try to come up with some material for that.

Not a new contribution from me yet, but I read in a previous post that you guys were originally shooting for an "old abandoned town" vibe. Taking this into account, I edited the tree a bit to produce an older looking, less vibrant version. Do you prefer the original tree or the edited version?



(I used the ground tiles as a background for the preview to improve the visibility)

I can give the bushes the same treatment if you prefer this look.

Here's an addition from me. I made some ground blocks for the houses in the far backgorund.

SC and Firecat, I really like your additions!

Vegetal Gibber, I think I like the more faded tree better.

Honestly, I think it would be a good idea if we had both, given that the town is not necessarily abandoned and that knytts could still be attempting to water the trees, but that in other parts of town it isn't as well kept.

Also, I added a contribution to the interior tileset, basically adding 3 colors of back-wall, the other side of the roof, an interior window and a floor tile.

Added yellow/blue version of the house shell for set 5.

Not a new contribution from me yet, but I read in a previous post that you guys were originally shooting for an "old abandoned town" vibe.

Set 4 was initially inspired by the ghost town from A Strange Dream, but no one has put anything dilapidated in it so far. I think it's become what the ghost town might have looked like if it were still flourishing.

I think that would be a more versatile solution. If nobody fills up the empty space left in set 4 with some other contribution, I'll add the faded tree and bush next time.

In the meantime, I made some cobwebs for the ceiling and some light sources for the interior tileset, based on one of the decorations Fubaka made for set 4 (two lamps for the ceiling and three more for the background walls).

I added some stairs, floor bookends, and a background floor tile for the first house, then I made a windowsill for the second house. Will probably do some duplicates on my next turn.

Oh, and FYI, the stairs look like they can't be walked up, but 1% opacity pixels ensure that they can be.

I love that trick.

Here's my own contribution. Bit boring, but I felt like the houses would benefit from a concrete/stone foundation in some cases. Also, I used 9 tiles, but since it's so close to finished and this will likely be only contribution I figured nobody would care too much?

I'll let it slide this time, but don't make a habit of this. You never know what that extra tile could be used for.
