Tiles, tiles and more tiles on the way

Having fun exploring the world of digital tiles again, this time with much more fervor and gusto! Actually, it is probably due to the fact that as one makes more and more tiles, the wrapping and understanding of how they lay out becomes much easier.


This is a quick shot from a few weeks ago. I've now made over several hundred tiles and they are being organized into better groups. Scale is based on the 64x64 and 128x128 tile size. To test how they wrap, I am using Tiled, an open source mapping program that allows regular soldiered tile layers and object layers that can be placed off the grid. Love it! Creating a source of tilesheets that can be used by a variety of individuals: rpg-ers, writers, artists, gamers, landscapers, etc. Quite exciting!
