I’ve been examining the Final Fantasy VI tilesheet some more, it’s far more complex than I thought it would be, it’s really a great piece of work, and I’m trying my best to give ES the same greatness. It’s bloody brilliant! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A short update, I think I’m getting the technique for drawing cave walls down, now if only I can get this together as a tilesheet we’re all good. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sorry to hear about the loss of video btw. That sucks.<\/p>\n

Quick update, currently only two new tiles, but I like them a lot and if I can expand this tilesheet properly we’ll have a cave tilesheet needless to say. \":mrgreen:\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Update, there are now 5 different tiles of rock for the tile layer there will be a few more, and next is the tiles that are going to be on the object layer that should render the tiles above the character sprites, like ceiling tiles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve decided to step back and chose to go with the dungeoney cave tilesheet, here’s a small update, I’ve added Kendalls skeleton to the sheet as well (it fits perfectly) and I’ve started to work on water tiles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Edit: This tilesheet is working out suprisingly well it seems…<\/p>\n

Alright, so I’m working on the water for the cave this night. First I tried out the classic approach, like this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It has the colors I want for it, and I’ve animated it a bit but didn’t get the desired effect I was looking for, hence I started researching Harvest Moon for the Super Nintendo because I remember that water looked particularly nice so I’m gonna give that a shot, also it feels more realistic than the above approach. Here are some screenshots, albeit not animated it’s still kinda nice (in game, it is animated though).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The second screenshot is particularly nice because the water is transparent and you can still see the dirt\/mud\/rock through it, very interesting.<\/p>\n

I’m having a bit of beer and wine tonight to sparc the creativity and motivation, I’ll post more updates shortly. God I love Harvest Moon. Haha! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I think I’m gonna put the cave tilesheet on hold and get started on a village tilesheet instead after I’ve made some concept art on buildings and stuff. I’m really sick of working on the cave right now and think I could make more progress if I work on something else for a while.<\/p>\n

Edit: I’ve got some really nice ideas for the cave but I’m gonna have to put more thought into how to put it together as a tilesheet.<\/p>\n

Edit: I’m leaving it here: <\/p>\n

Small update, it’s getting closer to what I want.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I made some progress on the cave again and I really like it, but until I’ve figured out something about the tile layout it may still be scrapped again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[26,28,27,29,13,31,30,25,35],"class_list":["post-65","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-creative-interests","tag-2d-rpg","tag-adventures-in-game-develoment","tag-chrono-trigger","tag-dreamcast","tag-elysian-shadows","tag-engine","tag-homebrew","tag-indie-rpg","tag-sprites"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/elysianshadows.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
