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…

Slight correction - the character combination for "ramen" has been fixed to Traditional Chinese. The previous image version used Simplified Chinese, which wouldn't make sense for Taiwan.

These are amazing. Nice work and thank you so much! I just signed up to say thank you as I was looking for Korean tiles for my game building for hobby. If I make it a commercial project, I'll come back to ask for permission to use Deoksugung palace.

Out of curiosity, how much of a demand is there for authentic East Asian architecture? This thing took hours to make and lots of trial and error to get the right look.

Probably not a huge demand so take your time fam.

Im a big fan of it as my epic project is set in an east asian style universe. I totes understand how long making these assets take to get just right. My game is still in development hell as im slowly getting it done. I could commission someone but im cheap and artistically talented so im doing it myself.... Any little bit helps. ^_^"
