Hello-- today's release is based on a patron suggestion.

There's been a lot of talk about the compatibility between the classic Time Fantasy series and the more recent Elements set. Since both sets use the same base tile-size, they're compatible and can work well together-- the only difference of course is the color palette.

I've previously made a tutorial on how you might want to update the color of the Time Fantasy tiles-- but today we're going in the other direction!

It took me a long time to figure out a good sequence of color changes that worked well, but I think that I found a nice mix that will match up the tiles pretty nicely!

I set up a Photoshop action to make the process a little easier on myself-- so luckily it didn't take much time once I finally decided on a sequence that I was satisfied with the result.

The above preview I made by copying pieces from the promo screenshots for the Elements tilesets and running them through the same action that I made-- they show how the finished tilesets look in the more muted color style of Time Fantasy.

Here's the steps if you want to recreate the Photoshop Action (the screenshots show what I did in detail with the numbers to tweak):

• Levels

• Saturation

• Color Balance

But don't worry-- you don't need to recreate the steps yourself. I went ahead and did the entire set, and I think that I'll release them as an update for the Elements sets-- probably tomorrow or maybe next week.

In the meantime, patrons can download them here.

Okay, here's the Downloads:

• Time Elements: Hometown Tileset - Time Fantasy Color Update (.zip)

• Time Elements: Caves and Mines - Time Fantasy Color Update (.zip)

Reminder: If your browser doesn't like it when you click on a link to the zip file, copy and paste the URL directly into the address bar.

Because these zips include the entire contents of these tileset packs; I'm going to have to take them down in the future-- so these downloads will be here for a month or two (until I remember to remove them).

This is consistent with the policy for sharing large releases-- so make sure to download these while you can. :)

When they come down, they'll continue to be available as a part of the tileset packs on the regular store page download.

Okay-- I hope these are useful for you.

I'll be back on Monday with the next entry in the ongoing Summer of Monsters. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks!
