Angband 64 x 64 pixel tileset

[nppangband]

What you guys could do, is prepare the list of stuff needed, and post them in new separate threads. For example: "64x64 tiles for NPPAngband" or "64x64 tiles for UAngband"

As stated in my first post, the only requirement for doing this is that your game is a non-profit thingy

While I know you have other projects you want to work on, I would be extremely enthusiastic & would help in any way possible for an NPP tileset. I know I am in line and staring over Nick's shoulder , but here is a rough estimate for what it would involve:

2 new classes

About 75-80 different monsters, mostly dragons, hydras and ainur and player ghost templates.

I still have the old object set used in Angband for many years. I don't know now many types of weapons and armor Angband deleted (low priority, as I would rather delete weapon/armor types than not have a complete tileset if it becomes too large of a project.)

A couple more flavors of wands/potions/amulets/rods.

The main thing is the terrain. NPP has about 200 different types of terrain, including new types of traps, runes, and temporary spell effects (many of which you have already drawn tiles for use when spellcasting). So that's about 130-140 tiles, since you have already drawn the standard ~65 that Angband already has.

2-3 different spell powers not found in Angband that can be cast as spells.

Assuming you are willing to take that on and when/if you are ready, please let me know what I can do to help get you started.

Thanks for offering, but you'd probably need another 10 years for all of the Unangband tiles required

Unangband has: 2300 tiles painted over 3-4 months * 3 * 10 (minus a few weeks vacation every other year = approx 60000 tiles?

Maybe, but they would look awesome.

Some tile suggestions for detected objects in any dungeon level, still out of LOS to the player, I suppose any of these tiles would be switched to the appropriate sword, mushroom, armor, axe etc when in LOS. These were made after being requested by takkaria, for *object detection* use:

Hi Shockbolt,

Been monitoring this thread over the weeks and months since I first discovered it - thanks for continuing on and finishing the tileset! I can't wait for it to be available to play!

Cheers!

Thanks for commenting Foehammer! Waiting to test the complete tileset, that makes at least two of us

@Shockbolt: don't feel any pressure; IMHO any tiles you do for variants (including mine) would be pure bonus. I was just indulging in a little maintainer rivalry. It won't happen again.

@UnAndrew: Ha! You should have finished me when you had the chance.

Couple of quick questions:

Do you have a Paypal donation page anywhere?

Have you considered contributing to any other variants?

1. I made a Paypal donations button but I'm not "actively" using it anywhere. Strangely Paypal does not accept the currency I need the most: "experienced programmers"

2. Sure, I got some terrain tiles to do for another variant, but first of all, I got a few iOS games that I would like to have created and published, one of them should be ready sometime before Christmas. Spending my time since february on graphcis for Angband/ToME has left little or no time to do much else with my own projects..

Check downthread, bucko, you're third.

It would be cool if we had a whole tileset comprised of miniature statuettes .

Angband chess minigame?

Be careful... he might do it. His work thus far is beyond impressive.
