Non-Ripped Unique tilesets

[Metaclaw 21]

Hi~

I'm searching for original tilesets for RMXP.

there are TONS of tilesets out there, but some are rip-offs from famous games, and I can't always tell which are.

I know Zanzyzora / LandOfShadows do original pixel-art, do you know other artists like that?

also, do you recognize the following tileset from any commercial game?

I remember a long time back I found some very very nice custom tiles someone was creating, but I cannot remember if they were given away free for use or not. I actually have them saved but I want to stress that you'll need permission before publishing the game, I saved them purely for inspirational and development purposes to my own custom tiles.

 

 

I could work on making some custom tiles as a side project, may take some time but I'll begin with the basics; trees, grass, rocks etc. If there's anything specific you want making just give me a shout and I'll see what I can do. I'll be following in similair style to the 'Trees Reboot' you linked, as that seems the easiest to get going as well as being a nice style.

th-those tiles. /melts ;-;

how do people get this talented?

I appreciate you're willing to help ^^. even though I can do a little of pixel-art myself,

some things are above my level, like realistic trees & cliffs that connect properly from all directions.

and you're right, the tree in the link above is really pretty~

maybe we can work on an original tileset together?

If I could I'd make my "dream" tileset, like this:

something original, yet not too different from RMXP style. so it can be used in a game with default tilesets, without the styles clashing.

not too cartoony, but with vivid colors. having lots of details.

it'll have horizontal stairs/ladders, and generally, give more attention to the sides of the map. I dislike how RMXP's default tilesets force you to have to stairs/ladders/doors/etc always facing down, toward the player. I'd like to have tree variety, where all trees are minor edits of each other. one can be 'younger' and be thinner/shorter, one can have a few fruit on it, etc. there should be ground variation tiles, a grass where the blades are big and visible, casting some shadow below them, creating a 3D feel. and a water tile that looks half-transparent and you can see the "lake bottom". I really want there to be hills of some sort. not huge cliffs with straight sides, but little smooth hills you can walk up & down on, without needing stairs. I think it can be done by shading a circle of grass-tiles in just the right way, and making them 'cast a shadow'.

oh, wow, I'm talking too much again aren't I?

Interesting, well I got a couple things done but I've been haing early start/ late finishing times this week (and will too next week). And I know what you mean, I can work towards those goals bu it may take some time.
