New Sprites

[GMG Mike]

You should create another slightly different tree sprite, and then flip both tree sprites to get a total of 4 different looking trees that you can randomly insert, so that it looks more varied. Otherwise, it looks pretty good.

[Silverwind]

Yeah, maybe a deadwood tree to make it stand out. It would take awhile to redo the shading if I flipped them, but I might have a bash at it.

[WarHampster]

Your light source is all over the place, but yeah, no one would notice. Nice!

[Silverwind]

What, what, what? It's consistently around 1 O'clock.

EDIT:

Oh wait, do you mean the earlier builds like the ones at the top of the page?

[EqwanoX]

warhampster always gets caught up in details that arent noticable, i dont even see how the light sourse is all over the place, looks like its from above

[Silverwind]

The water tiles are coming along nicely too:




Because I'm using masks, I can easily swap the water texture around as I improve it as well as drop the river onto different terrains, such as sand, gravel and whatnot (which used to require starting from scratch by hand)

[Silverwind]

Got half an hour's work done on the sand tiles:



The shapes haven't changed from the build I did last year, but the texture is greatly improved. I'm just about happy with the tone too. Looks very Yipe!-ish to me.

[Tireas Dragon]

Wow! These are amazing.

[Silverwind]

Thanks! I'm working on a temple floor now:



I'm going for large slabs as I think detailed objects will stand out very well on them.

[Charlo]

These sprites are looking excellent.  Very professional looking.

[Silverwind]

Thanks. I don't get much time to work on them, but they're certainly coming along. I'd love to just finish a small game with them.

[Silverwind]

Which floor tile looks better:



The left one has a faint stain texture, whereas the right one doesn't.

[Silverwind]

Also, which tone looks better for the mountain tiles:

[Gan]

For the floor I like the right one. For the mountains I like the left one.

Yeah, I think you're right, and oddly enough they were both the originals. Today I finished the path tiles, improved the water texture and made a rough house sprite:
