So yeah, i wanted to make a hive of some sort, im a few tiles short and such but this is as much as i can do tonight due to ... well, sleep so, crits please on whatever you see wrong

RE: tilez - Vipershark - 10-28-2010

that yellow is really ugly

RE: tilez - Neoriceisgood - 10-29-2010

First of all, the grass looks really -really- tiled, it needs a lot of work.

Second of all, before I can really critique the "hive" I'd have to know what exactly the white tiles are,
I'm thinking water, but I'm not sure.

It looks like it's supposed to be wax. Y'know, beeswax. If so, it's sort of the wrong colour. Make it creamier/yellower.

RE: tilez - Chris2Balls [:B] - 10-29-2010

What bothers me the most are the white tiles. I don't understand what they're doing there: is it a manmade hive? A wild hive?
The pixelling itself is good, but I think you could make more tiles to make thing smoother and avoid repetition.

RE: tilez - JellyFrog - 10-29-2010

right, changed the bright yellow to a duller yellow, changed the white to cream and added two more grass tiles

/ will make a non test map when tiles are all fixed /

RE: tilez - Chris2Balls [:B] - 10-29-2010

It already looks better.
Get some diagonal tiles in.

RE: tilez - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 10-29-2010

it took me some time before i realized they were elevated. like cliffs?
how about a drop shadow on the grass near the ledges?

RE: tilez - JellyFrog - 10-29-2010

yeah, i might add some shades to the base but that would make me have to fuck with all the tiles to have a secondary set that is shaded and im really not going to do that right now.

'diagonals' done

RE: tilez - Chris2Balls [:B] - 10-29-2010

This is looking good, I like the fact the white/cream bit looks like a membrane.
keep it up man!

RE: tilez - JellyFrog - 10-30-2010

fuckin' about with some side walls and such

In that case...

Yeah now you just need some more tiles for the other side now!

RE: tilez - ThePortalGuru - 10-31-2010

At first, this wasn't looking too good, but I'm very glad that you took some advice to make it better. Looking pretty sexy!

RE: tilez - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 10-31-2010

you don't have to make a second set of grass, at least i don't think so. just make the "cliff edge" tiles drop shadows on the area below them.

RE: tilez - JarJar - 11-01-2010

Some of the diagonal tiles don't really connect to the regular ones, like in the diagonal the hive spots are kinda spaced out, seems like you have an extra line of space there, leaving some disconnection when put with the other.

Each tile should have some "cutoff" near the ends/edges so that the other tilesets and immediately branch into it. Of course you know that already, but just a reminder.
