Hello! I had planned to work on a patron request for today's release-- I'm sorry that I didn't get that done. I ended up working on this instead... 

(top: old | bottom: new)

So this week I've been working on the upcoming Steampunk Tileset expansion... My original plan was always to include the previously-released (for patrons) steam train tiles as a part of that pack. 

I started to make a few small updates to the set the other night... and of course I ended up taking it even further (if you've been a patron for a while, this shouldn't be a surprise LOL) The little updates quickly became a total rehaul of the steam train set (and now I've been working on just these tiles for the last two days =_=)...

There are a few major changes to the train set:

  • First, you can tell that the engine itself has a little more detail to it. It's not much, but it looks more fitting now when used with the other steampunk machinery.
  • The biggest change is in the placement of the tiles and the expansion of proper walkways along the sides of the train cars. This is for gameplay reasons, and to give you more flexibility for designing level areas. Players can now walk alongside cars, hop between them, etc. This required me to completely re-design the tiles, but I think that its definitely worth it to give the tileset some much-needed versatility for game level design.
  • I've also made some simple color and texture changes for the various types of train cars, different doors, etc. The full release for the steampunk pack will probably have some more options too.
  • Lastly, the train track tiles are now configured differently so that they line up properly with the train's wheels. You'll see these as a part of the full steampunk tileset (for now, if you're using the previous train tracks-- you can line them with the new trains by simply shifting the tiles up by 5 pixels).

If you find any problems or have any confusion with these tiles, let me know so I can make any changes before I release the final steampunk set. I'll be continuing to work on the steampunk set all through next week, but I also plan to get back to a regular patron request then too. See you soon.

Thanks
