Road Tiles/Sidewalks

[TheJames]

Uhh, okay haha you got us. Jokes over. Now switch back to the other street/sidewalk tiles.

For real though, this looks horrible. It doesn't even blend with the rest of the tileset. Completely different color pallet. Any decent graphic artist would realize that and design the tiles to fit the current pallet/color theme. The shades are totally different. It looks awful.

[TheJames]

Btw, I understand your concerns when trying to update the tileset. It has been the same for a long, long time now. But come on, you can do better then that

edit:

The beach looks decent..although the curves in the sand are a little weird/overdone

[Demisis_P2P]

What is the deal with those street lamps??

I saw this mass message just after I logged in.

Mass message:
Again, This tileset is temporary. I Don't know when it'll be changed back, Elk's working on a few things right now, please be patient.

Not sure what's happening with other things though. I'd say nobody has made it so that only Elk see's the "live" changes he's making to the tileset by simply altering the tiles weapon.

[Dnegel]

I think the new beach palette looks amazing, but it is kinda odd.

The new road tiles, ugh..

[kia345]

James, why do you care, you quit

[Elk]

You guys and your disability to accept changes, lol XD
Look, TheJames, it doesn't "blend" with the reset of the tileset because it's not done lol...
And any player with decent common sense would realize that it's a WIP.

Aswell, curves arnt "overdone", its because the beaches are built like that ...

I can smell alot of whining comming from the era kiddies in the future loooool
This is amusing

And a sidenote, instead of saying "ugly" or "horrible", you should be a little more respectful and be so kind to tell me "why"

[Andre2006]

I like the new changes they are 10 times better, the sand makes me think of the desert. The only thing I see here is the lights. Those lights don't fit any of the surroundings they look kind of futuristic too.

[Herb_P2P]

I actually like how the beach looks.

[ArushenP2P]

Not all changes you might see are final. Remember this is just a matter of trial and error. Like Elk said, don't just state something's appearance. Tell them why it looks like that (I.e. It looks bad because it's too bright, and not enough shading, and so on).

Anywaus, The beach reminds me of an RPG Game.

[LordSquirt]

are these tiles no longer on the server, I wanted to see them and it's just normal stuff

[DarkRenji]

Elk does fantasic work.

Too much whining, appearently there were children who wouldn even quit because of the changes lol...

It probably isn't the best idea in the world to deploy any 'WIP' on a live server environment.

[Elk]

It's fun :P and I know, it might have been a little stupid
but the 50 players that were online at that time...I thought it wouldn't be a big deal

[Frankie]

the beach looks awesome, although the way era's beach levels were made makes it look a little weird. the shore lines definitely need to be redone to be more consistent.

[Elk]

Yep...there will be palms too

I'm the guy for environment and general tile-revamp

[DDynasty]

I love it to be honest, beach looks great, sidewalks and street just a little bit of work and your solid!

There is some nice progress but don't pin it on the players for being annoyed because you gave them a tileset that wasn't finished.

[alskdjfhg]

Let Elk do his job. I'm ready to see some sexy new graphics on Era...

Corner gutters would look better than the dark/weird pattern on the asphalt.

Pfft, who cares anyway. It's just Graal. Nobody gives a damn.

I say let them quit, they clearly shouldn't play as it is.

While I question the need to upload a WIP graphics, running off a chunk of Era's community would be a better contribution to the server than the actual tileset.

While this may be true it is rather counterintuitive here. As players cannot seem to understand that tiles have to be remade one tile at a time the new tileset now only shows up for the dev team. As for the streetlights has anyone actually been outside of their room in the last decade? Street lights generally have a look similar to elks design, barring of course the wires.

It's not the design, it's the style that doesn't sit right. Straighten all the edges up and keep the outline 1px and it's all sweet. Otherwise it sticks out like a sore thumb.

It's a WIP -- a sketch.

And no... I can't say I've seen any lamp posts that look like that.

To be perfectly honest, nor have I. In fact, the one before these is pretty much exactly what we have around here IRL. EG:



Courtesy of Google Maps because I'm too lazy to go outside and take my own picture.

[Andre2006]

[Elk]

At this point, design fails! Mass productions is top priority :P

[cbk1994]

Overkill?

[Tigairius]

I think they're pretty neat. Real life doesn't have bullets that are glowing rainbow colors either.

[salesman]

Yeah I like them. They don't really fit right now, though

How you have the light effects set up makes it look like the lamp itself is glowing, not casting light from the bulb.

Those aren't light effects, I was just highlighting them to make my point, sorry.
