~Why is the roof made out of bricks? and why don't the bricks bend with the roof? You need a slanted brick tile for the bricks that are on the slanted part of the roof.

~That stone path needs grass to stone edging. This sort of treatment can work, but your attention to detail on other things like the trees makes this shortcut stand out a lot and makes it look bad.

1. Thanks, I guess?

2. It's some tiles I made in the early stages of making non-placeholder maptiles, decided it'd provide enough representation as roof tiles for the time being. I'll modify them soon to look more like a red tile roof, I'll admit they do look rather like bricks at the moment. Also slanting stuff will be done later.

3. I was already planning on doing border tiles, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I actually need to do a lot of border/buffer tiles in general but I think I'd like to get a good amount of base tiles done before getting into detail work like that. I tend to get way too caught up in just doing minor detail work and waste a bunch of time on it if I'm not careful.

Are these the type of red brick roof tiles that you were going for? https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm ... roof+tiles

Yep, that was what I had in mind as a possibility.

I used Tudor Revival architecture as a base inspiration while doing the housing exterior, which seem to mostly have a sort of dark gray-brown sepia tone to the roofing. That might be tough using the OHR master palette. I might try switching up the palette ramp from purely red and try to get a more earthy tone, incorporate some dark browns maybe.

I made this thing. It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but I might still use it.

It's still pretty spiffy-looking, I like it. Could use with a bit more definition, but other than that, pretty good.

Nice job! I rather like it!

Your avatar amuses me, spar.

Y'all could use this, if you want.

I call it "Taco Bot's Wonderful 1-Bit Macintosh Palette (With 2 shades of grey and 9 shades of purple)"

It's beautiful. I love it. I want it on an 8 by 5 foot poster, and attached to every wall/ceiling in my house.

This is a game i'm working on right now, it's main concept is to be modular but I think i'm getting a bit off

Modular? What do you mean? Is it related to the graphics? Interesting that you're using dithering rather than darker shades... I guess you're using a 'shadow' layer for that and that's what you meant.

Exactly, i'm using one layer for each element of the map
1 Ground
2 Ground Props
3 Buildings
4 Buildings Props
5 Overhead Buildings
6 Overhead Buildings Props
7 Shadows

I needed at least 2 more layer for overhead ground and props

You're using 7 layers of tiles and THIS is the level of detail you're delivering?
