300% Curses (curses_1920x900)
« on: March 01, 2017, 01:18:13 pm »

For all fellow ASCII-philes: I am currently playing with 3x upscaled curses_640x300 (tile dimensions 8x12), which results in curses_1920x900 with tile dimensions of 24x36. It nicely fills a FullHD screen at 80x30 or, if you play windowed, it's 80x29. It took me a couple of hours to get used to it and I think I might stick with it for a while.

The text in dwarven thoughts and item descriptions is much more readable than in any square-tile tileset. For the map looks, I prefer my own square-tiled Nagidal Tileset which looks like a cleaner version of the original, but for the reads curses_1920x900 are superior, I think. So grab it from the wiki or upscale your own. Strike the earth!

Now thinking of it, Why don't I actually combine both... The cleanlines of Nagidal's Classic Ascii tileset and the readability of 24x36.

I think I will start working on this furiously....

No, not furiously... It's not easily cobbled together. This would require another complete redraw. I'll postpone that and make it properly later.
