You can't put, say, gargoyles on end-tile corners, or else breakable ones will make them vanish and reappear constantly.

Stuff like gargoyles or corner adornments seems like a niche that obstacles and/or image wall would fill far better than ordinary wall.

I'm saying gargoyles for ease of use, when I want to say things like 'two pixel-wide differences to denote end tiles'.


Look at my tiles on the earlier page for an example: The green columns on the endtiles-

I certainly wouldn't recommend making the system even more complex. Currently, when making a style I only have to wory about the normal walls connecting to eachother correctly (which can already be pretty tricky). Then to make the broken and secret walls I simply blend some cracks into the wall images.

That's...okay. The problem is, I can do that. The problem is not that the walls don't connect to each other. THat is painfully simple to do. The problem is that each wallpiece must be interchangable, ON THE SAME SQUARE, with /each and every other possible wallpiece, without looking strange. This severely limits style possibilities.

If we implemented my theoretical STOP DOING THIS plan, the way you do things would continue to function Just As Keikaku (keikaku means planned).

I'm not saying making them wide and varied changes. I'm asking for small changes to denote the end of a wall. Little touches, that make things look better. This is especially important now that the pixel size has doubled.

My god I am holding back so much rage right now
