Bioluminescent Caves Biome

Added 2022-11-14 16:06:35 +0000 UTC

Hello! Today I have something new, and I think it's pretty cool...

The other day, I was reading through the request thread to pick something to make for today's release. One idea caught my eye, and it got me thinking... see, for something like this, we already have all the tiles... in fact, we have a lot more than we'd need. There's thousands of tiles we've already made that could be mixed and matched and re-combined to create new environments.

I combined a bunch of previous tiles from a variety of sets, did some edits so they would match together, spent some time organizing them into a new set, and then of course came up with a new color scheme to bring them together. Overall, the process only took me a couple of hours, so it feels like a huge amount of content for the same time I'd spend on a much smaller request.

Can you recognize all the tiles from their original Time Fantasy releases? ;)

There are tons of possible biomes that could be made in this way. I think this approach will work well for small unique variant areas that could give your game a little boost of variety. Like imagine going through a normal cave dungeon and then there's a small stretch of rooms at the bottom that use a variant tileset like this... and that's where the boss is waiting!

Downloads:

Note: These sheets are kinda in an RPGMaker format-- but not entirely. They're arranged in an A5 sheet, but the tiles with transparency should be on a B-layer sheet. Like my normal add-on sets, they're arranged so you can easily add them to existing tilesheets.

Let me know if you'd be interested in more things like this.

Or maybe it's not something that I should be doing; leave these sorts of edits and re-colors to others while I focus on fresh pixels. If you think this kind of release is a cheat, I'd understand that too-- so I want to know what you think.

I'll be back later in the week with something new. See you soon.

Thanks!
