Excellent work!

Thank you all for your nice comments, I love it!
I had lots of fun with this countdown, but no promises for next year, it really depends on how much time I find for it.
But as promised, here is the zip-file for this year's Scarlendar, sorted after each day:
Scarlendar 23 -
Thank you so much, hope it was fun for you!
:kaocry: -
Thanks for the lovely tiles Candacis!
I am trying to use your nice cottage roof (B outside), but I can't quite figure out what tile is used for the rest of the cottage? Do you use the wall autotile from your "A3 outside"? -
Yes, I do.
I had made similiar roofs for MV and made a tutorial for that, but the same principal goes for most of my MZ roofs, so you might find this tutorial helpful:
Tutorial MV Roofs -
Thanks for the prompt reply Candacis! And your tutorial is very helpful. I like how you also put in the realism perspective of building your house (reason for flat versus pitched roof etc)
I will go and try some combinations -
Snow!
Or kind of. I figured some of you might do a christmas jam game and those could come in handy for that:

These are variants for the A2 autotiles I did for the Scarlendar. -
May I shout you out with a direct link-y in the Game Jam thread? :wub
-
Of course :wub
I plan on doing some more snow tiles in the near future. -
Thank you for making these. Are you working on some snowy cliffs to go with the snowy ground?

@ErinPrimette
I'm glad you like my tiles and it is perfectly fine to give me feedback or make suggestions, but without not even liking my previous post or saying thank you, a suggestion might feel more like a demand to me and that doesn't feel so nice.
I get we are all sometimes in a hurry and I have done this mistake myself asking a content-creator for something without giving any feedback or thanks. So, maybe we can all do better and be more mindful next time :wub
Moving on, I was indeed working on snowy cliffs:
MZ only



These are snow covered cliffs and slopes. The cliffs without snow can be found in my Scarlendar 23.
Some variants as well with less-covered snow tops. It is hard to see, but on the same sheet as the slopes, there is also a bit of snow to cover the bottom of the cliff to have a smoother transition.
I also added two new autotiles to the previously posted A2 sheet:

One free-standing snow autotile to cover only certain parts in snow and then I made the clouds tile from World Tilesheet B into an autotile! I think it can work as a snowdrift or deeper snow, but of course, as a clouds autotile as well, maybe for a celestial heaven map. Or turn down the opactity and use it as fog? Maybe that could work as well.
Anyway, this is also a gentle reminder that I could have just kept all those edits for myself in order to improve my chances at the Christmas game jam, in case I want to make a game myself (doubtful since all my free time went to making tiles.. as always :D ). Instead I'm keeping a christmas spirit and continue to share and hope I see some lovely winter maps :) -
Sorry if I annoyed you, but the cliff tiles are lovely...
-
Happy you like it, enjoy mapping!
I long wanted to do a snow version of my A3 cottage tiles and this winter I finally got around to it:

And a Snow Overlay, so you can fit it over every A3 roof/wall you want.
I will probably do a snow version of my pitched cottage roofs as well. -
I might have to switch to working in 48px just to use those snowy brick walls! These are lovely, Candacis!
-
Thank you so much for the snow overlays :kaojoy:
-
Look at all that lovely snow :wub
-
Thank you all :)
As promised here is a pitched snow roof:

I am not finished with every bit and every variation for this, but this should give you a good starting point. I included a snow overlay of every version (base roof, roof parts for the roof windows etc.), so you could use it with every pitched roof, but as you can see the snow pretty much covers the whole roof anyway.
You need part of my Cottage Roof Extras to understand and assemble the roof windows. -
Wow, very well done. Love the snow roofs!
-
THAT ROOF IS AMAZING :eek:
-
Thank you, hope you can use it.
I have a small update regarding my Snow A2 autotiles. I was a bit unhappy with the non-grass pathways and updated those.
Also, I added frozen water! Of course, it doesn't move, but would be perfect for a frozen lake or a icy river. Just re-download it from above or the start thread.
And another small update to the Inside E tab, with some added corner- and endpieces to the default kitchen and a wider fireplace/chimney:
