Tile Set Improvements

[clintbellanger]

We're working to add more features to all three core tile sets so that the final maps will really shine.

Dungeons

• Stairs and exits (done)
• Doors (done)
• Random bones (done)
• Floor rubble
• Tables, chairs
• Special larger statues
• Walls/floors for traps
• Torture devices
• Archways and features for pits
• Slime, pipes, steam, sludge (rejected, too anachronistic for this set)

  Caves

• Pits
• Wooden walkways
• Crystals
• Vines
• Half height walls
• Thick webs
• Egg sacs
• Collapsed caves
• Exits
• Separate floor from rocks/bones (put debris in the object layer).

  Grasslands

• Larger houses
• Thick twisted trees
• Larger variety of plants/bushes
• Tall grass
• Thorny bushes

Grasslands: Larger Houses: What about this one? http://opengameart.org/content/tents-and-a-house-unknown-horizons Specially the House, blenderfiles are also available at oga.

Nah I'll make some new houses. I may make a set of houses that e.g. fit on a 4x4 tile area.

@clintbellanger Can't we use your model for medieval building http://opengameart.org/content/medieval-building-tiles ? Also looks like Unknown Horizons has a lot of nice 3D models.

[clintbellanger]

@igorko I don't think my old medieval buildings fit the style needed in the grasslands. The UH houses are closer to the style I want, but they'd be hard to make work with our tech specs (square shaped tiles are easier for the engine to handle). So I'll just make a new house graphic at some point, which will be fun for me to do anyway.

I don't like the way stairs are placed in Brothers Lair Atrium. They go in void. Though I have no idea how it can be reworked :/

[clintbellanger]

@igorko that's how it's supposed to be. We're seeing a cross-section of the stairs, just the part that's on this floor.

[igorko]

I mean a little different thing. I'll try to explain. You could swap upstairs and downstairs on two maps and ATTACH upstairs to the wall. Currently upstairs are not attached to anything and you don't hide another cross-section behind something(even it's on different level, some place should be reserved. Round stairs don't need such place though). So it looks like another cross-section doesn't exist at all.

While not on the to-do list for the cave tileset, I've updated the in-game version so that we're using the same lighting style as the Tiled version. I've also added teleporter tiles: https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-game/commit/b0a790c7ebf06d186027017d83f0f79e1756b992
