I am using Lunarea's outstanding Arabian Nights Tiles and Lunarea's Rich Tiles, mostly for floor tiles.


This is my map of an affluent, modern Arabian (Middle Eastern) Hotel room interior





And this is the hotel lobby (TOTAL WIP - not looking for feedback, I am looking for good floor tiles to use!!!)


What you see here are the A2 High Fantasy Indoor tiles - very nice but I don't think they are working.





The white/gold and white/blue tiles are from the Rich tiles and the geometric/floral carpets are from the Arabian tiles.


The other tiles are from the High fantasy set. I have also tried Cait's much more boldly colored tiles (the teal checkerboard)





But honestly, they are a bit too bold.


I am looking for tiles that capture the bright hues of Cait's tiles, and the exotic, rich look of Lunarea's rich tiles, that also suit the look of an Arabian Modern setting, AND coordinate with the Arabian Nights tile set.


To be clear, I love Lunarea's rich floor tiles but I need MOAR! And I'd like them to be colorful.

On the tilesheet where you got the red patterned carpet for the reception area (A2 in the HF remastered pack), on the row above, 4th from the left - I think a little recolour and you could have something useful.

Well, it's curious you suggest that (and thanks) because that is what I was trying for on the right hand side in the dining area of the lobby, but I didn't think it was working. The original bright blue overwhelmed the space, and the desat red isn't right either.


Thoughts?

No, not the bright blue, the one to the left of it.  

I've just done a quick screen shot showing them in a map of mine.  I've taken the tinting and lighting out so that you can see them as they are.

Oh. The stone tiles do look nice with that border tile you used.


I'd like to see some other possibilities, too, but I like that, thank you.

Since the arabic tiles are very colorful and busy, I think, it is best not to overload on them and pair them with some normal floor textures. It is easier on the eyes and in contrast with less busy tiles the arabic ones can really pop.

Anyway, I made some tiles, don't know if this is the style you were looking for, those are not as colorful, maybe more for a bath area:

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
