16 colors, 16x16 pixels. I meant to emphasize the atom of artistic suggestion.

Public domain, by me.

EGA is capable of more than that...

I happen to like that tileset... not as a "useful newage" tileset, but one that's definately "oldschool" but still looks nice. Kudos on that little set. I'd use it in my upcoming game (not yet available, of course), but I've already theorized about having the most "complex" engine that's currently available (without resorting to insane amounts of scripting, that is).

I like it. Feels like Final Fantasy. And I'm an oldschool fanatic at heart anyway.

Final Fantasy 1 looked better than that.

I think he means that he is trying to visualize something real through a very limited set of colours and very tight dimentions.

I think you did a good job, but it's kinda useless these days :P

You could import the tileset into Sphere or most other
popular Engines... If I got bored, I'd just make a new
engine just to test tilesets, but... Then... Am I really
that bored?

edit: Actually, I think I am, and I probably will. I'd like
to see this tileset in motion, and I'm sure others would
as well. I'll probably write something tomorrow or
Monday that would be able to use that tileset. Shouldn't
be that hard.

Well you inspired me to make a small map area with the tileset, in Tiled of course:

In my opinion the set is too systematic.

All in all, it does look rather systematic, when viewed that way. It's a treat in terms of "old-school" look and feel, which is nice, but then again, I would only expect to see a tileset like that something that feels definately old-school... Like maybe one where the princess has been kidnapped and you have to fight hoards of monsters to save the world from complete destruction, but otherwise have no formal plot. Much like Final Fantasy 1. I'm sticking with "I like it, even if it has no real value for creating a modern game."

As a side note, Tiled looks nice. I'll have to keep it in mind when I get around to nearly completing the annoying pain-in-the-arse programming I'm dealing with for my current project.

It felt good to hear those kind words. You may like to know that I have produced a map with this tileset, made with DevX's own editor.

i think the tiles look like they fit better in the small map than in the large map because of the limited detail

Reminds me of Ultima: Exodus for the NES or DW 1. Not Final Fantasy 1 though- those graphics were a bit more advanced than that.
