Ogedei's Asia Themed Content (Updated: 2019/01/01)

Ogedei · 2016-03-19T12:39:51+0900

I recently got MV and its larger graphics seem to be less of a hassle to edit and hence more enjoyable to work with. There's still a lack of good Asia themed stuff. I'll be adding some new stuff every now and then when I have some free time. Bagua Icons "Bagua" refers to the Eight Trigrams, which symbolize basic aspects of Chinese cosmology. It is also used in Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Tibetan mysticism and martial arts. The symbols from left to right are as follows: the Taiji (the classic yin-yang symbol), Heaven, Wind, Water, Mountain, Earth, Lightning, Fire, Lake. The last two characters are the words for "Magic" and "Martial" (as in Martial Arts). Spoiler Sixiang Icons "Sixiang" are the "Four Symbols" - the Black Warrior (Tortoise-Snake) of the North, White Tiger of the West, Vermilion Bird of the South, and Azure Dragon of the East. Below these four icons I added the Chinese characters for "Water," "Earth," "Fire," and "Heaven." Spoiler East Asian Neon Signs East Asian neon signs with actual East Asian characters. These are modifications of the original signs in the SF_Outside_B tileset in the RTP. It seemed odd that a Japanese company put gibberish instead of actual East Asian scripts. The signs are as follows: top left - hotel (Korean), top right - bar / drinking establishment (Korean), bottom left - "Eastern Restaurant" (Dongfang Fandian [Chinese]), bottom second from left - "Big Dipper Tower" (Beidou Dalou [Chinese]), bottom third from left - "Dragon Garden" (Longyuan [Chinese]), middle right - "Downtown" (Honmachi [Japanese - in katakana script]), bottom right - "Hokkaido" (Japanese - in Kanji script). Spoiler Large Xieshan (Large hip-and-gable roofs for palaces or temples) Spoiler Decorative Artworks A simple addition that can be used for parallax mapping - artworks to add some flavor to a room. In order from left to right and top to bottom: Yongwang taenghwa (Korean portrayal of the dragon king deity), calligraphy of Song Dynasty artist Mi Fu, "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land" by Goryeo Dynasty painter An Gyeon, three Edo Period Kabuki actor prints by Toshusai Sharaku. Spoiler Korean Palaces Deoksugung 德壽宮 (UPDATED: 2016/07/14) A palace based on the Deoksugung palace complex in Seoul. This is again made purely by scratch and is probably the most difficult pixel art I've ever made so far. This can be added to a Tileset or parallax map. Spoiler *NOTE*: Deoksugung can be used for any project, but you must request permission to use it in a commercial project. Hip-and-gable Tile Roofs Alternate roofs that can be used for any East Asian themed game. They were based on the Korean palace graphics, but generic enough to be used for a Chinese or Japanese themed setting. They are optimized to fit in a tile set. (I just noticed that there's a slight pixel error at the right edge of the bottom one - this can be easily fixed in any image editor.) Spoiler Chinese Buildings Chinese Row House A (1 floor) Spoiler Chinese Row House B (1 floor) Spoiler Chinese Row House C (2 floors) Spoiler Siheyuan Roof A roof for a quadrangle residential compound. Spoiler Contemporary Taiwan Night Market Ceremonial Gateway Spoiler City Signs From Left to Right, Top to Bottom: Highway signs to Taipei and Kaohsiung, Tachung Records sign, "Eight Virtues Tofu," "coffee," "Japanese Ramen" Spoiler Korean Cities and Villages Chogajip (Korean Thatched House) Spoiler Te-u Raft Spoiler Hansik 한식 (Traditional Korean Food) *In order from left to right: Dolsot Bibimbap 돌솟 비빔밥 (bibimbap in a stone pot), Jeongsik 정식 (full traditional meal set with fried mackerel, kimchi side dishes, soup, and rice), Sundubu Jjigae 순두부 찌개 (set with sundubu, rice, and kimchi), Sundubu Jjigae 순두부 찌개 (large pot of sundubu by itself) Spoiler Korean Traditional Furniture Korean traditional furniture and paper window. Spoiler Korean Decorations More Korean decorations with an added bonus of the royal flag of the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). Spoiler Korean Town Signs Shop signs for your Korean themed towns. In order from top to bottom, left to right: Mugi (Weapons), Musul (Martial Arts), Ssal (Rice), Yak (Medicine), Sauna / Bath House, Jumak (Tavern), Cha (Tea), Sikdang (Restaurant), Buddhist Monastery, Taeguk (Yin-Yang symbol [Korean version]), Samjogo (Three-legged Sun Crow), Lotus Flower, Gungsul (Archery), Sijang (Market), Saju (Fortune Teller) Spoiler Jangseung and Sotdae A pair of Korean totem poles and a Sotdae (spirit messenger bird figure) - the left totem pole is the "Great General Under Heaven" and the right totem pole is the "Great General Under Earth." Spoiler Miscellaneous Market Items In order from left to right (top to bottom): Daikon / Mu / White Radish, Kimchi, Gochujang (Korean chili paste), Pears, Shiitake Mushrooms, Napa Cabbage, Pickling Jar, Fermented Soy Paste, Rice, Barley Grain. Spoiler Ships Spoiler (tileset addition version) (parallax version) Lunar New Year Decorations Chinese Auspicious Words and Phrases From top to bottom, l…

Added a brick building / convenience store for modern cities. Not entirely satisfied with it so it'll be subject to change.

Added a Korean thatched house. The edits are a combination of modified RTP graphics and my own additions.

Hi, I am interested in adding some of these into my project which I am to make a commercial product.

Specifically I wish to add some of this for my China town district in my game's city. How does this sound?

Of course credits will be no problem.

Sure. As long as credit is given. :)

The food items in the RTP were boring so I added four Korean traditional food images.

I didn't like how all the roofs were facing the same direction. Added two Korean-style roofs - one for a guard tower or pavilion and the other for a larger hall.

Created a character sprite sheet dressed in a Korean hanbok based on Silla Dynasty style. Candacis' taller character sprites sheet was used as the base. You can cut and paste any character sprite head onto this as well.

Added a female character, again using Candacis' taller sprites as a template.

EDIT: Just noticed I forgot to do the last row of sprites. Will add this as soon as possible. :|

Re-uploaded the girl character sprite sheet.

Added a new large xieshan (hip-and-gable roof) for a palace or temple. Also noticed that there's a glitch with the character graphics. I'll re-upload new ones when I have more character sets.

Do you have a zip file that I could download? When I try to download these files they are corrupted.

Did you right-click and "Save image as"?

Sorry for the late reply! Yes, I did.

OK. I'm guessing you were using the hip-and-gable roof files? I just noticed that I exported it as a jpg, which tends to distort the image. I'll need to fix up that one.

Posted a fixed file for the hip-and-gable roofs. Also added some new Korean themed decorations including the royal banner of the Goryeo Dynasty.
