A+ service. would recommend to others

now go check out the rogue survivor pack, it's new and exciting!

[naptimeismagic]

Just started ToME a couple days ago. I didn't think I could love the game any more, but your tileset proved me wrong. Totally loving the new look, thanks!

Here's some more pics showing the current level of quality in the pack if anyone was curious:

This looks fantastic, I am going to have to try it soon.

Heh, your necromancer there reminds me: made a lich doll yet?

[daftigod]

here's a simple recolor test. when he's fully armored, there's not much left showing his lichness, but the eyes and hair still kinda make it noticeable at a glance.

there are a few other methods to go about it. you could make an overlay for each race that just effects the skin/eye/hair color. or you could make a new lich race with a new base sprite. all liches would look the same in that case though, irregardless of what race they were originally. as usual, whatever the team decides to do, i'll follow their lead within a week or two of the next beta

thanks for all the nice comments everyone! i'm glad you are enjoying the set!

That's how the shockbolt tiles seem to do it anyway. I think the spell just changes the race to Undead/Lich, so you might have problems finding out the original race anyway.

I really like this tileset, and can see myself using it 24/7 in the future. One nitpick I had that really put me off early game is how much smaller some monsters are compared to you, to the point that sometimes I wouldn't even register them.

I'm not sure what to do there, stuff like trolls and molds are so much smaller, but it might just be my nostalgia from older games when they were much bigger.

2 suggestions.

1 Make the music a *different addon*
2 Also update it's link at the front of the page (though we may get an addon section soon)

[daftigod]

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Yeah the monster sizes have been a common complaint I've been hearing. I originally envisioned a tileset where weak monsters are smaller than stronger enemies, to make the strong dudes stand out in a mob, but it doesn't seem to work out on today's ultra high resolution monitors. The small slimes, worm masses, trolls etc were chosen on purpose because of their size to be honest. I guess a few of them could stand to be enlarged a bit!

I really wish ToME had zoom mode for the scroll wheel to help out this situation. It would also help to fix the problem that some people on smaller displays have when going from "explore mode" to "fight mode" in the game. Even 48x48 doesn't show my whole LOS on this crappy 1440x900 screen.

jot - I finally found the lich tile in the shockbolt set, buried in the skeleton folder. You right, one size fits all so i'll try to find something approprate

edt - how's this?

rascyc - the old snes resolution was 256x224! hehe I know what you mean though, I'll see what I can do about it

canderel - i think all pages with the link are already updated. the blog post and this thread should have the most recent download link only. i'm reworking some of the music currently but it'll definitely be a separate addon, like you suggested! more diversity on the addon page!

... awesome lich...

Nice and scary.

Although I can't quite figure out what the teal bit around his/her neck is supposed to be. An amulet? Lower jaw?

[Phillag]

It's a really neat tileset, but when I play, my character is still an @ even though the environment has changed around him. How do I make my character actually look like a person? :\

[daftigod]

was supposed to be an amulet of some sort, i guess. just something to make it stand out a little from a distance. thanks for pointing out it's ambiguity though therefore now it's a lower jaw! hehe
