Taffer's tileset

／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

A minimalistic, elegant looking tileset that strives to be a "nicer default". 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. If you like it, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, or in my forum thread! Screenshots encouraged! Alternate sets with nicer trees, gems, and dimple cups are in the forum thread as well.

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. 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!

Many good, stout dwarves died making the preview image.

Alternate version!

Nothing to see here but solid walls. Move along. How do they see through the fortifications anyways?

tl;dr

Just try the damn tileset and trust me. Tocky's colours are important too. You taffer.
