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. Walls that attempt to mimic a simple 3D look end up looking like odd looking rivers on the world map. The list goes on, and because most tilesets try for a fancy aesthetic, they almost all end up having these little display bugs. Fancier little graphics always show up in unexpected places as characters are very rarely used for only one thing. The result is a tileset that is simple, easy to read, attractive, while retaining the purity and feel of the original ASCII. I've spent lots of time thinking over each tile, making sure everything doesn't just look nice, but fits well together. I think the result is sexy.

Taffer's tileset[edit]


I have released a graphics set, along with 48 other tilesets. This page exists to offer versions of the tileset for older Dwarf Fortress versions.

An improved code page for Dwarf Fortress. Optional racial graphics and many variants can be found in my forum thread. Every tile means the same thing as the default graphics, but all of them have been redrawn to look aesthetically pleasing.

A change of the colour scheme is highly recommended, and my favoured scheme is Pastel, of my own devising. More colour schemes can be found in my release or on the wiki.

Many good, stout dwarves died making these tilesets. Also a few elves, and possibly a spider monkey.
