Here's what I have so far:



Comments?

Whoa. Looks amazing.

P.S. This is what it would look like in-game:

Heh, thanks for the video... seeing stuff in-game is very exciting.

So no criticisms at all? I want to make sure they're perfect before I do the rest.

[Gan]

There are two things that kind of strike me as a bit odd:
(1) The shading on the castle door.
(2) The top/roof of the yellow house.

Besides those, looks great. Not sure what anyone else thinks, today has been a really quiet day at the Gmg.

P.S. Followed a tutorial to get rid of memory leaks in the iPhone app. Was able to get rid of 5 leaks! You can visually tell that the app runs much faster as a whole. A bit crisper.

Grass tileset is done!

[Silverwind]

Magnifique! Those tiles are brilliant Hampster, I love your style of shading. Such prominence... such depth... simply incredible!

Can't wait to see the game finished now.

[Gan]

Awesome ... I think I'm going to start making another forest piece and connect it to the town. Then stick it in the iPhone and make a video of exploring 2 maps!


-Gandolf

[WarHampster]

Thanks, I'll try to get the sand tiles done soon.

[Swamp7hing]

Oh man, this is coming along!
I'll start writing a progression or story once I'm done my homework.

[Gan]

Sounds good, I think we're to the point where we can scrawl up some story line ideas without the negative effect of progress halting(or never getting started).


-Gandolf
P.S. Working on a map creation tutorial to give all who want to make maps a boost in the right direction.

[Mystor]

Those look sweet! I can't wait untill I can test the game on my iPhone.

P.S. The first map looks darker, I'm going to have to redo both maps when we get a definite and finished set out so all the tiles match.  

[WarHampster]

The set I posted is definite and finished as long as no one has any objections.

[Silverwind]

The set I posted is definite and finished as long as no one has any objections.

Well... (and this isn't an objection mind, just a comment) I think the grass tile would look even awesomer if it was a little brighter. Don't go redoing the entire set on account of me though, I'm just voicing the thought.

I'll check out the tutorial tomorrow Gan, right now my internet is acting up and it won't load beyond 33 seconds. Looks cool though!

I think the darkened tile was my fault. PaintBrush is not a good paint program. It tints all colors a little darker than what they should be.
I threw it away, so here is the complete and compiled Forest Tileset:



-Gandolf
P.S. If we add an evil or creepy forest in the game, those tinted tiles would do the trick.
