    Finished my autotile edits, a mix of MV and MZ rtp. Mainly Cliffs, Water and outside floor textures.

    You can create some real crazy and weird characters in MZ char gen

    Water Autotiles, I curse ye! Those things are really the most time-consuming to edit/make.

    I'm working on outside a2 autotiles edits right now and I'm wondering, who is using the carpet in Outside_A2? And the 2 holes? Are they useful? I was thinking of replacing them with a wooden counter and a wooden plank autotile. Thoughts?

    Those both sound more useful. Even if they didn't, you should make what you want, what you're debating over isn't as important to others as it is to you.

    @Sharm Yeah, you are probably right. I have some ideas what would be a good Outside autotile mix, but I'm sure others have different ideas about that.

    now that I'm thinking about it, an outside wooden counter would be extremely useful, since you can just use some B and C tiles to cover it and now customize your own market vendor tiles.

    Grass... Earth... Sand... Snow! Working on edits for some new autotiles for MZ/MV

    Tables! I'm always wondering how big I should pixel those. Right now I'm at XP sized tables, starting the table legs at half a tile size, which is good for putting stuff on to the table, but a bit tricky for chair placement.

    I tried editing a tileset and, wow, that's work! I'm super impressed with you guys being able to make them from scratch and have everything lined up.

    I spend years just making edits in VX Ace and then MV. Edits are fun and good practice until you feel confident enough to do something from scratch.

    Thats all I do right now is edits. It's like once you learn how to do decent edits you just want to edit everything, add more colours, variety etc. It's an addiction I swear.

    This is totally the right weather to pixel some fireplaces.

    Doing wall autotiles! What kind of indoor wall is your favorite?

    I also really like wooden walls. You can add beams to them that act as platforms for torches and other one tile wall furnishings. Dungeon stone walls work too for that same reason. Variations of the two are always welcome; good-luck with the autotiles!

    wooden, asian styled and old stone walls would have my vote

    Wooden and old stone. Some with a skirting board, some not. (Skirting board - that's possibly just UK English. It's that piece of wood that is at the very bottom of a wall and is, say, a few inches/cmms high. Older houses have deeper skirting boards.)

    Trying out new carpet autotiles and I can't decide if it's working or not. Pixeling soft carpets is hard

    Autotiles are a pain and carpets are hell, combine the two things and your sanity is lost. XD

    I read that as you were like trying them out as in "eating" carpet tiles. I was going to say... There might be enough threads in there to make it to the 100k.

    After a bit of fiddling around and with good feedback from Avery, I landed on a version that I like.

    Kitchen counters! I am on my second version of counters. It is slow going and I always see little details that could be done better. Have to force myself to say that's good enough for now and continue on.

    I just noticed that all my sideview beds I made are way too long for the sprites. Well, back to the drawing board..

    Long beds for tall sprites? I appreciate that you think of things like this, sometimes the RTP doesn't match the scale and it drives me crazy.
    Candacis
    Candacis
    @Sharm I think, the beds are still more suitable for tall sprites, that is the format that interests me most, but I made a child sized bed that will work for the default sprites, too.

    Cool! I've been debating making things scaled for both size sprites in my artwork for a while. Generally I just make stuff for tall sprites, but I know those aren't as easy to find.

    Trying my hand at pixel tiles, but it quickly turned into endless variations of the same cupboard/closet

    I know that feeling. I tend to do a little better when I have a photo and try to recreate it.

    Well, I have the base finished and am somewhat happy with it. I just mean that now I'm using this base to do open closets, closets with 2 drawers, closets with 4 open shelves, small closets, closets with glass doors, closets with glass doors and drawers etc.
    It never ends!

    That's cool! I tend get a little stuck once the basics are covered, so for me when I start making variations it means I don't have good ideas for which fiddly bit to do next or I'm avoiding something. But it sounds like you're exploring the theme thoroughly instead, which is a very different thing. I think if you're having fun, it's all good.

Recent threads, and my very poor algorithm for my minimap plugin have made me face the fact that I need to review algorithms and such.

Going through Cracking the Coding Interview now. I am so excited.
