64x and 128x sprites - Resources
« on: July 17, 2014, 01:40:23 pm »

I wasnt quite sure where to post this, since the Twbt thread is very active and is mostly about the scripts developement, which means this would get buried quickly. But after I saw Mike Mayday working on some fancy 24 and 32x tiles, I remembered something. About 2 years ago I talked with Shockbolt, who makes sprites for Angband, another rougelike. They look fantastic and I was trying to do a 64x or at least 50x tileset for Dwarf Fortress. Unfortunately the 80-tile minimum stopped that from really happening.

With TwbT this is no longer true, so the sprites can actually be used. Use a 64x tileset, with less tiles on the screen, and a 16x or 10x text in the menu. I havent exactly tested how it turns out, but I at the very least wanted to share the sprites. Shockbolt gave permission to use those for DF, as long as credit is given and as long as its non-commercial. He is a pretty amazing fantasy artist overall, you can find his works here: http://shockbolt.deviantart.com/

Even if these tiles are too large for normal DF, maybe Stonesense can make use of them in some way?

Ah, Tales of Maj'Eyal :) I don't even have to look at the tiles, I've killed them all in person thousands of times ;)

I will close this, because I made a new thread with a collection of items, creatures and building sprites. This one here is therefore redundant.
