Guess what!?!

I was invited to work on a new Graal Gold Server with a few people including Stefan! From my work in Delteria they hired me in terms of GFX for the server and we have been working out the basic 'theme' of this new server. DARKVILLIN and me both thought it would be cool to make a ******* server! Shhh, it's a secret.

I thought it was important to keep the Graal Classic characters and environments because that is what drew me to this game in the first place and why Graal Classic and other Playerworld servers are more popular then some Gold servers regardless of the relative amount of subscribers. Anyways, here's a sneak peek at my new tileset in progress (ignore the 2k2 character). See if you can guess the new theme as I go along. And don't worry, I'm changing the trees. If anyone steals this I'll sick Stefan himself on you.

Whoops. Here's the tileset in progress.

BTW, so far I doubt any of you will be able to guess the theme of the new server until I finish a few more tiles.

A Graal gold server?
What is the point in that?
2k2 is still in alpha.
Shouldn't Stefan focus on one thing at a time?

Ok, the tileset is far from done but I think it's far along enough for you to guess the theme of the next server.

Whoops again. Here it is. You'll notice I screwed up my own tileset with the beams on the right sides of the house. x.x Hey, I'm a GFX not a LAT. I'm too tried to fix it right now. G'night.

I got my hopes up for a nice server

The graphics rox but it just doesn't seem like the kind of server I want to play. Reminds me of The Sims.

It'll be nothing like The Sims. Plus, I prefer Animal Crossing

No worries. Think of it more as Earthbound meets Zelda...only 100 times better with 'working' arcades and vehicles, etc. I just kind of want to make it a place you'd actually LIKE to go to w/o it being a chore like not being forced to eat or die of starvation, etc. Kind of like Graal Classic only worthy of being a gold server with tons and tons of cool stuff. I mean, we've already got a roleplaying server (2k2), and etc. so why not? Like I said, I prefer Animal Crossing, the reason it's so addictive is because it's the videogame equivalent of Seinfeld, it's a game about nothing but existing. Believe me, I'll make it mindless fun.

I fixed a few small errors in allignment etc. and prettied up the level for you. Use some imagination of what you can do with my new tileset (so far)...

Wow, looks great, I love the trees.

I think the road is too black though, should be more grey.

And the roof looks funny, the way the panels are sort of facing down, even when the roof is slopping to the right/left.

Oh no..... not a present day Graal!!!!!!! lol

Nifty work, but the road needs to be lighter.

Those are just lava tiles from the default tileset methinks.

Animal crossing is a step up from the sims, but still a step down from Harvest Moon.

it looks a bit like "graal new world"
