Hah, alright then. "Why not?" is always a good answer for these sorts of questions.  :D

Are there sprites for "smoke" and "ooze" tiles?

Business is slow on the project forum for now, so I wanted to check your opinions on this solution:



WARNING, as the text says, this is not something currently being considered for DF by Tarn, it's a solution I'd like to propose.

@Superforf: that's actually a pretty accurate mockup of what it'd look like in a castle, yes.

The question is, it will now be possible to smooth/engrave into "dirt" tiles??

Or was already a thing and I've never managed to figure this out?
No, it won't. It's not a thing in the base game and it makes sense that it isn't.
I kinda just made all of them, since it's the same automated process for anything smoothed/engraved.

As Mike said, it will probably not end up in the Steam version at all, but I like having all inorganics ready for a mod. ;)

Smoke and ooze: Yes, we have sprites for that.

Aww cool. That works, I think. The blue fog's a nice transition into the open-space tiles, and lends a lovely atmosphere to it all.

Only thing is... do you intend to put back the rounded edges from your last mockup? I really liked those.

Smoke and ooze: Yes, we have sprites for that.
Heyy, we actually have a use for that!

@Superforf: that's actually a pretty accurate mockup of what it'd look like in a castle, yes.
I'm flattered.  :)

Looks good to me. At this point, although there can be aesthetic concerns, I don't think there's much issue of whether it reads correctly. It still looks overly steep but that's about it.

EDIT: I also think the misty effect should be like 50% or 75% stronger per z-level.

He said that was cut (and why) almost immediately after posting it.

Been following this thread. Will probably buy the Steam version and then keep playing ASCII, but I'm fascinated by the idea of Dwarf Fortress getting a huge graphical update (and might still end up giving it a shot if I like the finalized style enough).

Just wanted to say that mockup looks absolutely gorgeous. I really hope something along those lines actually makes it in.

Looks a lot better I think, but could you post mockups of single tile ramps?
I especially wonder what it would look like if the red tile here was the only ramp tile:

A suggestion for grass and other natural ramps:



Currently what you have is on the right.

Left looks a little more natural.

It would look better, but less correct. The diagonal would cut half-way across a floor tile that's not a ramp; as well as cut half-way across a ramp that's not a floor. Both tiles would show half of a wrong sprite.

Nope, but a ramp tile would be half flat for all diagonals.
