Witcher Rural Tileset

               Oooh.. So the windows flicker like there's an actual live light-source inside or do they just glow at night?

Right now they just glow.  Now you've got me wondering if I could make them flicker.  I'll have to do some experimenting.

               Okay so after about a half-dozen or so experiments this is I think this is my best attempt so far.  Could probably use a little more tweaking, but let me know what you think.

               OK, thast pretty cool. Be sure to make different houses flicker in a different pattern. Wouldn't look too good having a whole town flickering in sync.

               Good Lord MDA, that video is awesome!

Maybe when you get a chance you could do a tutorial on that animation over at RPG Modding. I'd love to emulate it with my reskin of the Bioware city exterior tileset.

Not to mention, wouldn't want all windows of the same house flickering in sync.

Thanks.  It's really not that difficult.  It just took me a few attempts to set the color keys properly to give it a flicker appearance.  Once I get a few things finished I'll start writing up what I did.

               Two trees and one house later (yes the house is complete, with doors and window flicker) I decided to do something easier.

Every rural town needs a well, right?



Now I'm off to pick another house.

               Okay, I know I said I was going house hunting.  I did find two more houses that I'm going to do, but first I thought I would this nice tree group.



But then I started wondering, "What should I do with this?"  Should I leave it the way it is and make a single tile 'Tree Shrine' feature?  Or, should I split it into two features?  Either way, if I want the stones on a single tile I'll have to adjust their placement as they are slightly larger than one tile.

               I would adjust scaling on the tree slightly and then pinch the circle of rocks in so it fits on the tile.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Estelindis]

               That tree is seriously gnarly.  Love it!  Also love the flickering lights in your windows.  Great work.  :-)
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Michael DarkAngel]

               Thanks, Este

I think I'm going to start first by tweaking the placement of the stones so they fit into one tile.  Then I'll see how that looks with leaving the tree the way it is.

So we'll see how that goes, but first up I started on some placeables, so be looking for those soon.

               If I may offer my humble opinion the tree is great and could be used repeatedly, but with the stones in place it could really only be used once.  The set is looking great.  This game just gets better and better.  Thanks.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Michael DarkAngel]

               Here's some placeables



Now,  I'll work on the tree and shrine.  And yes, I think I will split it into two features.

[Legacy_Michael DarkAngel]

               And the shrine is finally finished.



Still more to come

               How about a placeable hut



And you can even walk inside



Thank you for your support
