New forum theme up and running!
On the note of photoshop. I've never managed to make it give me a transparent background to sprites and such without screwing them up somehow.
Ellie: I had a slice of ham in my hand. I was going to drop it, so I slapped it hard. It attached itself to the wall
Felix, it was suggested not to make it look deeper. It was suggested so that your maps dont suck. You can change the tileset all you want, but even though youve grown as a mapper, you still have a ways to go.Try a mist or fog or texture overlay. Would make your map blend really well
Some things look a bit out of place,
A lot of times when things look out of place it's because the colors don't match. You could try picking a uniform color palette and applying to everything in the chipset. It's a bit of tedious work but it can pay off.
