Yeah, I did an overworld tileset, although I'm not terribly good at spriting. It's recognizable, but I think any tiles you made would probably look better anyways.

Btw, MB, those are the tiles that runer uses, it wouldn't be original if I used the same.

I love that screenshot ;D

I think you didn't set the Wabbitemu grayscale to the right level, though. Personally I think it looks very true to the Link Awakening style.

Eh, I guess I can do the tiles so that everyone can use them for Zelda games, but it might take a while, depending on just how much free time I have to spend on spriting this.

Yeah, I was wondering that as well, because it was hard to get a good look at the sprites with all the lines. Then again, I haven't programmed using grayscale all that much so I wouldn't really know all too well what it is supposed to look like. :P

It depends. In Squidgetx Cuberunner game, the framerate is around 5-10 FPS, so grayscale is kinda flickery. However, at 20-25 FPS 3 lv grayscale starts looking pretty good on-calc and near perfect on emulators if the latter is setup right. For 4 level grayscale, I think if the grayscale refreshes 40+ times a seconds, it looks pretty great. At some speeds, you barely notice the flicker, but it varies from a calc to another.

You can get the gray on the title screen of Cuberunner to look good if you mess with Wabbit's settings, and occasionally the gray in the game but it doesn't happen much.

Well, here is a slight first preview.
I transferred some of the graphics to axe format and made a little test map.

This screenshot is out of my map editor (hence the inverted tile).
But it displays that my map renderer is coming along, as well as the spriting/tiling.

I have not yet implemented masked sprites/tiles, but that is a feature still upcoming.

i like! the tree is a bit wonky in context, though. maybe you could make two versions, one with dark ground and one with light, so it can blend well into any surroundings?

also, animated tiles would require refreshing the map repeatedly. are you sure you can manage that and still keep it fast enough for multiple enemies? if so, wonderful, but im not too sure that would work...

I wouldn't worry about it too much. There's already someone working on the tileset and from what I'd heard, he's already more than halfway done with the overworld tiles. :) </3rd-person-mode>

With animations im not redrawing the entire map.
I have this special routine ready that only updates the animated tiles each frame.

Just a note about that: it could result in fairly irregular gameplay due to screens having different amounts of animated tiles. Areas with lots of animated tiles (aka. water) will probably run a good deal more slowly than others.

Im trying to avoid area's with lots of animated tiles while mapping. But still, its faster than redrawing every frame.

Wow: I didn't notice that. This is a SMF mod I added a while ago so I can show the registration/last login/location on post list, but I didn't see the typo. I'll see if I can fix it later.
