Just another quick update for all of you. I have been working on the tileset changing the grass tiles and every tile that uses them. We have two different grasses on our tileset so I have had to work more than if I was using an average tileset. I cannot use the existing shadows tiles on the tileset, so I have had to change every tile that uses those as well. The first version did not come out like I thought they would so I am working on another one. Naturally, I have to now edit practically every outside level graphic to blend in with the new grass graphics but it will be worth it in the end.
We are constantly testing out new ideas and concepts on an almost daily basis so things will be good as we start getting closer to our approach date. One that I might like to mention is that we are not using a graal generated map but I am in fact drawing a real map for our server with location names and icons instead of looking at those sometimes very strange looking graal generated maps. And you can rest assured that since I am making the map, the minimap will be an actual "minimap" and not a huge beast of a map that is anything but mini.
Once we agree what to show off, you can expect to see some updated screenshots in the near future.
Take care and remember pixels have feelings too.
