Wanting to create my own graphics for use in coldstone, I started off editing the default forest_base tiles and am nearly done, just a few water/grass edges more need to be drawn. My dirt tiles have a bright sandy structure, the grass has a different color and more detail, dimensions are the same as the default ones. When I'm done with this first set of tiles (in another few days) I might upload it as an add-on, if there is enough interest.

I'd take a look at the tiles and use them if they fit into the designs I have in mind. But yeah I'd like to see what you come up with. It is, after all, the little things that make somethign special and unique.
So yeah, upload away.

New tiles would be, in a word, rad. ^_^

Yes, upload them please... I need some new tiles for my game so If you could upload them that would be cool.
I've started creating my own tiles. I'm still working on the ground tiles. Thus far I am only using Illustrator and photoshop.
You can check my first completed tile at: (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/srobert/coldstone/")http://homepage.mac....bert/coldstone/(/url)
It tiles very well. (its 256x256) Once I finish a whole tile family, I'll upload it in the coldstone ressources.
Lets all share our art

Thanks for the replies! Hey dapper those are really neat tiles, very crisp. Mine have a bit more painterly quality (could it be because they are hand drawn in Painter?). I plan to have mine ready for uploading after the weekend. Additional info: the water is based on part of a photo of a watersurface, light direction is northeast. Why do yours have those huge dimensions?

Probably to lose the feeling of repetition that it is possible to get when playing a game which uses small tiles. Using larger tiles has the benefit of the player seeing less of them onscreen at once, making the ground seem more realistic, if they are done correctly.
That's my guess, anyway.
