Retro Tilesets: Pawn64
« on: December 16, 2023, 06:42:05 pm »

So, I made a tileset for myself and realized I should share it here.
Growing up with the Commodore 64, I wanted something that had that feeling but took advantage of multiple values of colors and a little half-pixel shading to make things more immediately readable.
So the intention is heavily-inspired by but not necessarily authentic.
I also drew inspiration from Cheepicus, which was my favorite before making my own.

I play DF 0.47.05, so I do not know if it works well with later version.
Making it was fun, so I plan on doing a few other old computers over the next year.

The project is here: https://github.com/MyNameIsMortimer/retroDFtilesets

There's also Commodore-64 inspired color scheme: https://github.com/MyNameIsMortimer/retroDFtilesets/blob/main/init/colors_Pawn64.txt

Looks good!

(i'll try to get some screenshots up here soon, if I can figure out how)

Put the image address between img tags like this:
Code: [Select]
[img]paste image address here[/img]
If it's a large image you can change the size of it like this:
Code: [Select]
[img width=640]paste image address here[/img]

It don't work well. The menus looks weirdly stretched with black spaces between the tiles, but this is a problem caused by the demands on the steam versions. You tile set is very cool and the 0.47.5 version is my preferred, thank you for sharing =D . The best tile size that fits with 50.xx for now is 160x192 (10x12), so I've made a 10x12 tile set also with old school art style that fits 47.05 and 50.xx, take a look =)
