The Carnivorous Plant Uruk Crusher The Weretiger The Air Giant Troll Uruk Soldier The Hell Warden Skeletal Shambler! Undead Dragon Wyvern Dire Wolf Red Dragon Peeker The Apex Hunter The Apex Predator The Apex Stalker Daemon Hound Overview: This new set of graphics is focused around offering resources that allow for greater visual depth and detail than what can usually be found. A great deal of emphasis is placed on modularity to allow for maximum flexibility and creativity, both for the tiles themselves as well as for the characters. The majority of these resource are hand-drawn, with some being rendered from 3D models (the characters primarily, and a handful of the objects). What are these?! 2.5D is a very general term used to describe a 2D perspective that represents a 3D projection or space. This is NOT 3D, it is merely a 2D perspective (in fact, you can't actually recreate this perspective in 3D at all!). In this specific case, the perspective is at a 45 degree rotation. 2.5D graphics are wonderful because they can add much-needed depth and dimension to your game maps. How do you use them? These tiles were designed to be used a lot like Lego building blocks. They are modular in nature and will snap together easily on a 32x32 grid in spite of the fact that they are larger than 32x32 pixels. Due to their basic structure and modularity, this allows you to make an infinite number of structures, rooms, etc. Decals! While these tiles will snap together on 32x32 pixel grid, these resources also include "decals" which are tiles with blended and faded edges. This allows them to be placed almost anywhere and they will fit in. These are fantastic for covering seams, breaking up patterns, or just adding variety! Their uses are virtually endless. Build Your Own Characters In keeping with the concept of modularity, this new generation of character building resources includes TONS of customization of your characters. A variety of base templates can be freely mixed and matched with different outfit pieces such as tops, bottoms, hats, shields, weapons, helmets, hair, facial hair, etc. Each piece of equipment, clothing, hair, etc supports over 70(!!!) animations, all of which are in 8 directional facings. On top of that, there are 24 high-resolution face expressions, 24 high-resolution bust images, and 24 high-resolution paperdoll figures. Each of the 24 showcase different emotions and poses. Speaking of Animations... As of right now there are over 70 animations, each one a…

@mathmaster74 - Hah, yeah, that was along the lines that I was thinking in order to do it without a plugin. I'd probably extend it a bit so that it is more than a single step so it doesn't look so manic, but I am sure with a bit of tweaking it could look pretty natural. Great work! :)

@Jesse - PVGames Thanks! :LZSgrin: Taking your suggestion, this is much more natural and won't get stuck on the edge of the map:

It basically goes the same direction 2 steps, then decides on a 45 degree turn either left or right of the current facing to take 2 more, then repeats the process. The Skip if unable to move is what keeps you from getting stuck. That being said...go 2.5D! :LZSjoy:

Hah, very nice! I am sure it can be made more complex to start including more steps or a randomized amount of steps, or have added pauses so the character isn't constantly in motion, but instead walks a bit, stops and idles, then walks some more. There is a lot of flexibility in this method.

Will you make any more back shield graphics? Or any for the weapons?
Jesse - PVGames

Yes to both @HasdrubalBarca :)

Skål! A Shieldmaiden for the frozen lands!

@HasdrubalBarca - Here is one such! :)

These look amazing Jesse, can't wait for release to get stuck into them, exactly what I need to re-ignite my interest in finishing my game.

Railings and bannisters, modular shadows, and more!

Upon request, nurse character pieces in the Mythos style!

This weekend there will be a bunch of new tiles coming, and monsters!

The Apex Killing Machines... Few have ever encountered these creatures and fewer yet lived to tell their stories.

These boss-sized monsters come with 400 frames of animation for walking, running, attacking, getting hit, evading, being hurt, dying, and more, all in 8 directions. Each also comes with a high resolution large static image to be used for front-view battles, static side-view battles, promotional material, cutscenes, or whatever else you can think of.

Nice graphics! I would get them but I have been a cronic procrastinator so wont buy anything until I think I will actually use it :)

Might be cool to have some futuristic / scifi stuff, like computer screens, neon lamps, a starfighter, a laser weapon, robots, or the like.

Will the monsters and character parts be separate from the tiles? I don't like the look of the new tiles, but would love to have the character pieces and monsters.

Today I am releasing 150 new tiles. Here you will find new furniture, chairs, dressers, as well as a bunch of various smaller objects like alchemy flasks and potions, additional foodstuffs, astronomy items, paintings, and more.

Also included are animated candelabras and and wall sconces as well as different types of animated potions, both in bubbling and glowing varieties!

@The Stranger - I was thinking of bundling them separately.

Oh, thanks a lot! Didnt know about these :)

Now, if I ever do something other than lurk in these forums... :D

Got caught up in some cryptocurrency projects

New character pieces for the Female Battleguard class!

I spent some time going through some of the older animations I had for dragons and made this new set. This will allow me to utilize the base dragon for a larger number of various sorts of dragons - not just different colored ones like black dragons and blue dragons and all that, but also allows me to graft certain things on to them to make different creatures. A writhing mass a tentacles and a paint job and viola, you got a new eldritch horror! I am looking forward to making some new dragons, but also giving some of the old dragons a face lift.
Jesse - PVGames

#57 Jun 4, 2019, 02:14 PM Source

So, I wanted to build something off of the new dragon base I whipped up recently and wanted to show it can be used for more then just fantasy-style dragons.

I am not entirely sure what this thing is, but not much will escape its watch!

It is probably more at home in a Mythos or Dark Fantasy setting than a traditional fantasy setting, but that's up to you!

This one took longer than usual due to having about twice as many pieces as other professions (including a sword and shield that can both be wielded in hands and worn on the back). But I am pretty pleased with how he turned out in the end.

Over 40 new Blacksmithy objects finished. More to come! The forges are animated as well.

@Jesse - PVGames Why is there only a like option for posts? If this were Facebook, I'd have marked love on this last post. My current game features a blacksmith as a character of interest, so giving his smithy life will be awesome! Keep up the great work! :thumbsup-right::thumbsup-left:
