Awesome!

Draw something that isn't in DF yet, but is in the long-long term goals... like a part of a city whit a port and ships.

Awesome.

You should make an ASCII webcomic, like that one based on Nethack. Forget the name, now.

Yes, that's the one. It's done by TailPig, if you want to know.
A webcomic you say? I might try my hand at one of those....

What is a lever represented by again?

'ó' and 'ò' I believe.

Those are pretty cool, reminds me of that app someone made a while back, DFPaint, I think it was.  I like TailPig's comic (http://www.tailpig.com/AsciiDraw/RLComic_TheHulk5.html)  (I had almost the EXACT same thing happen to me.)

Hit another snag. I'm currently in the middle of drawing a ship in a port, but I don't know how to draw barrels.  :-[

Bridges will be tough as well. I probably need a picture of DF in game, embarked on a shore, preferably showing what the foam and waves look like.

Barrels are just brown tiles with a division sign towards the left side.

Alright. I guess I'll try. Where's the latest version of the map?

I had to put my ship on hold, so here's what's done so far:

(http://i40.tinypic.com/2nbeqdd.jpg)

As you can see, I still need to do the foam and the beach itself. Maybe I'll do the merchants and city. (Or at least part of it)

If it's not enough I can get some more shots. The little ~'s out there are the waves/foam. As the waves hit the sand, they spread water upshore. In this pic, the shore is about half covered.

Ok, I'm starting work on the VN map. Could someone (Looks at helmaroc) get me a picture of the embark map? Thanks in advance.

And I just realized that one part of the cliff doesn't have walls. :O

The world map.

Post by: Helmaroc on April 09, 2009, 01:14:55 pm
Sorry, I'm lost. A picture of the embark screen (showing the three different views) or a picture of the entire surface layer (map archive style)?

Wait, I get it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There. That's the same world I used for the beach picture, if it matters.
Oh, and it's a medium world. If you need a full size, just ask.

How about you do something completely non related to DF...how about you do one of the penguin avatars, ASCII style. That way you wouldn't have to keep asking what tiles to use, because it wouldn't matter.

Nothing for a while, unfourtunately, I have lots of homework to do.  :-[

When (Or if) I come back to this, I was thinking of starting up a forum game completely illustrated in ASCII. Role to Dodge style.

And dwelled in by goblins, ruled by a demon?

It's supposed to be an image of a local band of goblins hidden in the woods near a town, and a small party of dwarven mercenaries sent to kill them.

This is my work. I couldn't be bothered with doing up the entrance real pretty. Anyway, its a visualization of goblins, attacking a fortress, built specifically to provide coinage to the dwarven kingdom. Not necessarily DF by the way.
