NemZ's tileset emporium

a volcano?  ...why?

[verifiaman]

Actually when I finish the dos games the next request on my list was for something from zero 3, though I'm not sure if that's still needed or not.  I'll have to check.

I'm not adverse to doing zero or zx tiles, though I'd be much more likely to do so if it was part of a project that seemed to actually be going somewhere.  For the most part classic games have a lot more going for them, if nothing else then just because they feel like they belong with the rest of the game as-is.

Well that's a shame. it would be cool to see the zx series in a retro form.

Look into Megaman Ancient. It was a mini game in ZX Advent of ZX's Area A in 8-bit, and extract those tiles, there, you have some ZX.

I meant  stuff like the highway, area f the lake, the power plant. I probably should have been clearer.

Smash bro wants a volcano because he needs sprites for the volcano cannon from BN 3 if I am correct

[Hallan Parva]

actually I wanted a volcano background thing for that game I'm making but the volcano cannon would be 96 times better

however this is a tileset thread so I doubt Nemz would do a volcano cannon thing, no matter how awesome it would be

[NemZ]

I am confused.  Please insert info.

[Korby]

He's making a SHMUP game and would like a volcano background for it, I think.

[Hallan Parva]

Pretty much.

Though, I could just take the mountains from Skull Man and use them as a base, which would probably work better since it would be in the same graphical style.

Never mind, sorry for bothering you.

[NemZ]

no biggie.

oil is done.  I messed around with the pallette a bit so it was a little less flat and gaudy.

Nargh why does every single stage have some form of water in it

I love the Oil Co. insignia on the oil silos. Nice work as always!

Nargh why does every single stage have some form of water in it

I know, seriously!  Every stage in these games has either water, oil, lava, or some sort of green ooze somewhere.  Even Bitman should have water for the 'ground' below the play area even though it's not a tile in the actual stage because it's supposed to be an offshore drilling platform.

The key to not letting it get boring is going to have to be to get somewhat creative with water/fluid use.  My suggestions:

Low but constant damage - Wily
Instagib (hazards within the play area) - Dyna
Instagib (acting as stage borders to keep players on the ship/platform) - Bit, Wave
Full stage low gravity effect - Shark
Underwater areas - Blade
Underwater areas + directional currents from fans - Sonic
Underwater areas + strong conveyor effect in shallow areas - Volt
Shallow, decorative use only - Torch
Quicksand effect - Oil

Oh, and I went back and added more detail to the skyboxes on several maps.

Wave Man's skybox is now 30% cooler.

Thats actually good ideas. Though maybe swap what the Lava in Dyna's stage does and Acid in Wily, cause the lava wasn't instant death but the acid killed you even if you were invincible.

Maybe add a touch of Flame Man style oil to bit's? There were fires in his stage under some oil drips. Or just make fire act like spikes as an actor.
