-=Author's Comment=-
This is a lot more colourful than my previous tileset (Metal Mania), which
is good, but it also has a bad point. Decreasing all the colors to fit into
a palette was a REAL pain. If it wasn't for Palette Suite I would've pulled
all my hair out and thrown the computer through the window. After doing
that I came across something new. This is the first time I managed to fill
a palette and JCS tells me to reduce the colours. I guess you can't have a
full palette afterall, so Palette Suite came in handy once again.
I've used an 'Outer Space' theme with this set, which is something new for
me. It managed to come out very nicely, and to be honest I am very proud of
it, one of the few tilesets I've made that I am actually happy with the end
result. Unfortunately there are no animated tiles, but that is because the
tileset is at its maximum size (1020 tiles). I could've made some if it was
a TSF set, but I'd rather leave it out than make the tileset only available
to people who have TSF, and I'm sure most of you will agree with me. There
are 4 animated tiles left for some destructable scenery (unless you use
TSF).
Some tiles are taken from JJ2 (destructable scenery and some boards, and
the poles). There are tons of different tiles of these types in tilesets,
and they mostly look different. I thought it would be easier if I just use
the ones Epic used. This is a little experiment to see if you prefer it or
not. There is also a destructable block for each section of the tileset.
Please tell me what you think about this, if you don't like it I will draw
it myself in the next tileset.
The programs listed are in order from the one used the most, to the least.
As you can see Paint Shop Pro did most of the work, and Photoshop barely
anyhting. This just proves the fact that Paint Shop Pro is capable of
making great tilesets (beware Photoshop junkies!).
Three example levels show different ways of using the tileset, and the
fourth is to make people like Aiko happy that seem to like my plain (a
better word is 'traditional') design. Because the example levels are three
different types (CTF, Battle, and Treasure) the 'next level' field will not
take you to the next level, you must open them seperately in JCS. I've also
added the palette so that people who want to can learn from it (or look at
the mess for fun). If you look close enough at the tileset, you'll find the
name of a person who helped me a LOT during the production, thanks a bunch!
There, I think that covered it. Oh, wait, how could I forget. I also added
a music file I downloaded. It was the first one I randomly chose out of a
list of 25, and when I listened to it...Well, how can you explain. When the
song started it felt like I was walking on clouds and a light from the sky
was shining brightly on it. It was perfect :)
