Taffer's tileset
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
A tileset based on Tocky's tileset, but with tweaks to bring it closer to the original ASCII, as I was always put off by tiles appearing in improper places. Graphical backpack tiles will show up on the world map as large human towns, which bugged me. Walls that attempt to mimic a simple 3D look end up looking like odd looking rivers on the world map. I experienced similar issues with many other tilesets I tried. Fancier little graphics always show up in unexpected places as they rarely are used for only one thing. The result is a tileset that has the minimalism of Tocky's tileset, while retaining the purity of the original ASCII set.
Because I don't want to step on anybody's toes, I've made a list of credits for the tiles not made by me. Credit mostly to Tocky, followed by Anikki, with a little from Yayo, Vherid, and Cheepicus. Some of those tiles aren't made by them either, but I credit them nonetheless.If you like it, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.
I highly recommend a better colour scheme than the default. My preferred colour scheme is Tocky's colour scheme, previewed above. Vherid's colour schemes are worth looking into. You can find some nice, less "brown" colour sets here.
Many good, stout dwarves died making the preview image.
Feel free to leave me a message on my user talk page, or on the forum thread if you prefer. I'd love to hear from people who use it!
tl;dr
ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Just try the damn tileset and trust me. The colour scheme (Vherid's Natural) is important too. You taffer.
