@mali8ooyah I can’t say it’s a standard way to present the tiles, but I chose to keep the empty space to imply there are multiple variants to fill it, which in this set, could be any of the 3 basic sand textures. Also, I just liked the balance of the layout.

@rayslynyrd I'm trying to learn about game dev & 2D tiles, and in all the tile sets for terrain there is always at least 1 that has the empty square in the middle. Why?

@ddent366 It’s just a character template inspired by the fighter sprite. I didn’t mean to suggest to change the past, rather to envision new adventures derived from a familiar aesthetic. My main point is the visual study.

@rayslynyrd So you would want FF1 to be Zelda? I mean you can make a version of that but FF1 being turn based was what made me love it and I don't think 8-Bit Theater's jokes would be quite the same if it had been ABS.

If FF1 had real time combat #pixelart #tutorial

@LChakm18966 That's a good question. I might have to do a follow up series sometime.

@rayslynyrd That is a good example for the fighter but how would the other five perform ?

@r1kgames Yeah, I had to try a few before l got decent results. Thanks!

@rayslynyrd Great stuff, nice seeing the process too! I tried the CRT effect on a screenshot from my game too, I’ve had trouble finding good CRT filters online

Playing with crt effect. It's a strange feeling seeing my recent art as a game from the past that never actually existed. #pixelart

@rp_varela You have good taste;) Thanks!

@rayslynyrd This landscape tutorial you made is proving to be extremely helpful in the pixel art series I'm currently making, so thank you for that! As a side note, you have made my favorite pixel art of all time (Neomecity) Keep being awesome :D

@Stormduck_Games Nice! I like the old one too, might work for hit effects when bullets collide with enemies.

Finally redid the basic explosion effect! The old one was made when I was new to pixel art in general and looked awkward when applied to big enemies I'm pretty happy with how the new one turned out, thanks to a super helpful tutorial by @rayslynyrd! Link is in the reply
