• Help make this tileset better
    8 replies, posted
First off, I'm not even sure if this is is the right place to be asking this, or if I even can. I need some help making this tile set that I made better. Giving you the .psd's would be pointless because they kind of suck, and are really hacked together. It would be better to just go off of the first one in the strip. The first two are going straight/sideways, the next group of 4 are the corners, and the last four are for when you go forward and then backup, and are supposed to be kind of rounded at the end. They're all 64x64.

I know you guys are all good with photoshop, and I could really use the help. Most of the work here is getting them to loop more nicely. It might be better just to re-draw them. If I ever sell the game that these are going in, then you get some amount of reimbursement. Probably not very much though. I'll be fair if it comes to that.
what exactly is the texture supposed to be is it a dirt track?
It's not too bad already, bring in the edges of each by a few pixels and you'll be able to create curves on the outside of the inside of the 90 degree pieces (if that makes sense)

Game Maker.
[QUOTE=JohnnyOnFlame;32220844]Game Maker.[/QUOTE] And what? I think the tileset should have more resemblance to the tracks of the tank. At the moment is looks more like a mound of dirt.
[QUOTE=JohnnyOnFlame;32220844]Game Maker.[/QUOTE] It's 100x more easy to prototype it in Game Maker then re-write it in whatever language. Since you know exactly how to do everything all you need to mess with is making the back-end stuff.

I'd make the tank less wide and draw the tracks so that it's got little dirt pebbles on both sides, that should also make the tiles blend much easier.
