New Forest Trees + Canopy Preview

Added 2020-05-25 14:00:05 +0000 UTC

Hello, today I'm going to share with you what I've been working on this weekend.

Going by the likes and suggestions in the patron request thread, it's clear that you want to see more trees/foliage, and improved forest canopies. The image above shows what I've been working on. You'll recognize the new grass and dirt tiles from last week's release.

So far the tree-trunk parts are more or less finished. In this image they are three-tiles high: they can also be made two-tiles high (without the middle tile), or higher by repeating the middle (though it looks a little weird if it's repeated-- two or three tiles high is optimal).

But there's a long way to go with the upper canopy. It's still extremely WIP in the image above-- though I think i'm happy with the general texture and style, I still need to figure out tile alignments, which can get tricky.

I was hoping to get this released for today-- but this set is turning out to be more complicated than I originally imagined. As you can see, this is turning into a tileset expansion that goes beyond the usual weekly releases.

Hopefully this little preview is enough for now: I'm hoping to have this set finished so I can share it with you before the end of the week. I'll see you then.

Thanks!
