so heeeey, I apparently never posted here some of the grafics I made for DROD RPG, and I also figured, might as well make my own thread for them.

As usual, all drawn from scratch while looking at the originals for reference.

Deep Spaces walls:


Fortress walls:


Trapdoor:


Alternate coloration, used in deep spaces and aboveground:


Trapdoor over water:


8-sided 1x1 statue:


2x2 rock:


I also have a dozen more unfinished ones. That may or may not be finished someday.

Caravel can use those however they see fit, if they want.

Hey, DezzTech! These look really nice, and I'll be honored to use them in a future build. Thanks for providing them.

I've integrated these graphics into our master content for upcoming DROD RPG installers. It looks really nice in-game. If you ever finish your unfinished work, we will use it. It would be nice to have for the upcoming Steam release.

I'd like to mention that some textures from TSS can actually be directly reused for RPG without editing, because they're of the correct size. For instance, all of the grass textures, iceworks dirt texture, foundation mosaic and, if shifted by 22 pixels horizontally, deep spaces mosaic texture. IMO, those look pretty good ingame, so if you want to have more graphics fast, you can use these.

Also, I'd like to ask if it would be okay for me to use some of the TSS graphics for my upscales. Right now I draw everything from scratch and it's pretty time-consuming. In some cases using originals would make my life so much easier. And, if I can use the TSS graphics in my textures, would it be okay for me to post my edits here, or should I instead PM you directly? I'm only asking because... um... copyright stuff. I'm not 100% sure if fair use would cover my edits.

Please go right ahead and use TSS graphics for upscaling. You are welcome to post your work here. Let's make this process as painless as possible for you. I'm not trying to keep new textures a secret or anything, unless you want to, since people could lift the textures right out of the game anyway if they wanted to.

I've migrated all of the new Grass textures to DROD RPG. I'm not sure what you mean about Iceworks Dirt and Foundation+Deep Spaces Mosaic, though. Those textures haven't been touched since before RPG was first released.

So I drew a few more rocks. The big ones aren't finished yet, they're taking forever to draw >_>



Obligatory recolors:


Fortress ones look a bit off color, but that's ok, I guess. It's hardly noticeable.

Obligatory rave rock (epilepsy warning):


Platform over water:

Thank you so much! These do look much improved over what we have right now. I'll take 'em and see how soon I can get these updates into the Caravel and Steam versions.

It seems I always underestimate how much time these take to make. Well, here's some stuff. And I'm only 1 day late on my promises, that's a new record!

Thank you so much! I'll include these in 1.2.7. I expect to release this version officially within the next week or so, since it seems all of the 1.2.6+ beta bugs have been ironed out.
