Some new tiles
Some new tiles
Okay, it's been over a year, and I've got a few extra hours on Monday and Wednesday nights that I can burn. So rather than do my homework like a good little college boy should, I've decided to brush up on my tilework, which I've always thought was the weakest element of my modding. Since I'm not confident enough to jump right into doing work for XkyKeen4, I figured I'd do some tiles here and there for the CKCM, to see if we can inspire any more tile-friendly people to get some structures built.
So, without further ado, here's some crappy tiles Xky made in about 20 minutes:
First Draft March 06, 2006
I figure I can update them as I go along, maybe make new stuff, maybe tweak what I've got already. Gimme criticisms, comments, feedback, whatever. I want to know what you guys think these are SUPPOSED to be, and how you would use them in a level. :-)

All i get is a long line of jibberish text. Had to save it as a bmp.
First off, you should probably use black outlines, since most of these look like blocks of some sort.
Blue Tiles - These look like a fancy background. Like, maybe they can line some hallways. It looks like a wall thats painted to look like evening, when the sky is beginning to get dark, and stars are appearing.
Gray with black, blue, and brown dots - These look like they can be thrown in between normal floor tiles, as little rocks or something in the ground.
White with red/gray/pink - Looks like a white tile covered in graffiti. Perhaps if you made plain white tiles, you could use these every once in a while to break up the monotony.
Gray with blue and green outline - Maybe use these around water. They look like mossy, wet blocks. It'd probably look better if you scattered some white pixels in there to give it a shiny look.
The rest - Looks like a sand theme. They could probably be used together to form a nice looking sandy ground.

Some of those are ok, others not so much. It doesn't help much viewing them completely out of context like this, but they don't appear to have the animation style the Keen series (i.e. 4-6) really embodies.
Then again, I wasn't aware that this project was even still alive until just a few moments ago, so don't take me too seriously.
