Gronkling's Tilesets

[Simon]

Watch out for the weasel thing...

Hnaaaah, so cute! Cutest trap in the entire game.

The weasel's cave is shaded slightly differently in the anim than it is during the still frame. Nothing else I can criticise after watching it 20 times. <3

Very interesting take on animated water. A unique style that works amazingly when constained to a coarse resolution.

Thanks, I fixed the animation so now it should be better (The new version is just attached where the old version was) The GIF of it was also updated to the new version.

[Simon]

Bug is fixed! Again, lovely set. It's a joy to watch the anims.

Professional work. It's impressive!

[RubiX]

Awsome work here!

[Gronkling]

First tileset from scratch! A sort of cyber chemical plant one.



This set doesn't have any distinct traps, but rather has diverse fire/water. It also has conveyor belts, which are re-purposed one way fields.

WOW! That looks awesome, and very Lemmings-y!

How do the conveyor belts work? Placed over (presumably steel) terrain, with a trigger area that extends just over the surface?

[RubiX]

wow tileset talent! keep it up

[Wafflem]

How do you manage to do that??? It must have taken a lot of talent to draw all these terrains, let alone animating the objects!

The chomping demon mask and the snake in Menace, the weasel trap and waterfall in Beast II... I can't wait to see what other tilesets you will do, as well as the Awesome and Beast I tilesets!

The conveyor belt as one-way fields is a very clever idea!

I will be very happy to use these tilesets in a future project once I finish DynaLems, as I am already working with so many tilesets.

An object suggestion that will go very well with the cyber chemical tileset: locked exit/unlock buttons.

It's the perfect kind of graphic set to have a radiation object, too.

Good luck pushing this neat set!

Even though I'm no match as an artist, I have a secret hint for spriting: Don't be afraid to use light and dark colors within the same tile, or several different hues within the same tile. Things will look more engaging. Compare my boring 2006 bricks (left) with geoo's nice construction bricks (right).

Thanks! I cleaned up the first post, and re-named the sets for the new guideline.

Conveyor belts work just as you said, trigger area over surface on steel.

Don't be afraid to use light and dark colors within the same tile

I'm limiting my colours to a classic sized palette on purpose, to me it looks better. (I secretly prefer the bricks on the left)

I'm actually designing these partly for my own use for a level set I'm planning So I'll add more objects if I ever use them.

[LJLPM]

You really succeeded in capturing the Lemmings spirit with this one! Superb (as usual )

[Flopsy]

Wow, those graphic sets look amazing. I particularly like the additional traps you've added to Menacing and Beast II

Only just started thinking about making my own levels and these graphic sets are just inspiring me more.

Just one question if you're making your own levels, do you lot know what you want to make (on paper) when you start designing or does it fall into place as you're making/messing around in the Neo Lemmix editor?

[namida]

Flopsy: While you're welcome to (indeed, I encourage it) discuss that, I would recommend creating a new topic (probably best place is the Level Designing board) for it.
