Hi I do art mostly but also do games.
Please read my comic, Patchwork and Lace. It's about a Lovecraftian Disney Princess dark mage and her superpowered undead partner hunting monsters and being bad at communication.

The Screenshot Topic Returns

This is a screenshot of a crashed space ship with the dazed engineer trying to figure out what happened, in the middle of a canyon wall in a desert next to a portal.
Yup. Ascii requires some imagination.
Should I change any of the tileset, or does it look like it will work?
Remember, it is supposed to look like a pseudo-ascii style(The brick-walls I made betray this a little, but they work well in my eyes.
Boy does that bring on the nostalgia!
I have a bit of a problem with the difference in line weights- the ASCII stuff is considerably thicker than the patterns, which makes things look a little more disordered. It might be better to have everything a single line weight, keeping in common with the original ASCII game aesthetics.

author=Libertyauthor=karins_soulkeeperThere's a bug or something in the script. In another topic recently someone talked about the reason and added a fix for it. I think it was a topic about How to make Random Encounters Welcome? You'll find more info about it there.

Any hints tips on making a tileset like this?
You might get more success posting in the Creative Corner about this. I know there's a lot of pixel artists there that may not be reading the screenshot topic.

If you want more realistic trees, you should do some studies of actual trees. Collect a few photos of various sorts of trees, and then try to copy them in pixel form.

The problem in cliches and stereotypes is the same thing: lazy thinking/writing. They're the low-hanging fruit of communication, and evidence that the writer hasn't really bothered to examine what s/he's doing.
Something stereotypical or cliche in a narrative isn't necessarily a problem on its own,* but it needs to be there for a solid reason. If you can make it not only make sense, but feel like it's a natural outgrowth of the rest of the narrative, then you're using it responsibly. If you're putting it in because "well, that's how stories like this go," then you're being lazy.
* Other than the problem of "I have already seen this a bajillion times and it is now boring as hell."
