Purplejazz7 is learning well, I can tell you that. Compared to the Dam 3 set, this is a major improvement.
Colors
How evil can you get, everything a nice shade of red (I’m a poet and I don’t know it). Somehow the red reminds me of Bluez’ Blood tileset back in the early days of JJ2. The best thing is it’s uniform: no “wacky” or “out-of-place” colors show up through the entire set. What surprising is that the regular background (the one with the “face”) looks like a negative of the original: the brightness level have been switched around. Intentional or not, to me it gives it a bit of a glow effect if you’re used to the original. But I understand if it may irk a few.
I do have a little complaint: the bigger spires are a bit too bright compared to the rest of the set. That doesn’t really detract from the overall appeal.
Added stuff
I’d say this is a first for PurpleJazz7, and a nice go at that. First it’s a textured background, non-standard even. Those are always welcome. It doesn’t have to be Hell all the time you know, you can also make it into a gigantic Demonic Graveyard (don’t be stealing this name). Did I mention it works both in 8-bit and 16-bit?
The rest of the extras are mainly ripped. Starting with the lava fall from Kaven’s Thermal K.1 edit of Carrotus. The lava rain is just a single drop, but it points both left and right. Nice idea.
Mask
No changes here, he basically used Dam1’s mask for this conversion. No problem.
Miscellaneous Comments
PurpleJazz7, ever thought of compiling with a 1.23 JCS next time? You may not know this, but tilesets and levels done in TSF only work with TSF, and not everybody has that (yet). If you could convert it for use with 1.23, that would be really great :)
Final Verdict
Better keep an eye on him, guys. With this set he’s shown he’s capable of making good edits. It’s not on the level of Noka’s and BlurredD’s, but still worth a look. If only it was 1.23…
EDIT: And now it is! That was quick. Thanks! :)
