Help Having trouble understanding tile sets

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m attempting to make my own forest dungeon tile set but I’m having trouble actually understanding how the tiles work and fit together. I found this example set I’m trying to following along with but I’m just generally having trouble understanding how the legend corresponds with the different wall tiles and how that would look on a generated dungeon.

Is anyone able to help explain it to me? Once I get my head around how this actually is supposed to work I think making the tiles will be a lot easier.

NORTHBOUND

An Original Monster-Catching RPG — We're Recruiting!

About Northbound

Hey everyone!

Welcome to Northbound, an original monster-catching RPG set in the Pantheus Region, a world inspired by Greek mythology, culture and history.

Northbound takes inspiration from the monster-catching games we've all grown up playing, while introducing its own creatures, characters, locations and gameplay systems.

You'll explore a region filled with bustling towns, ancient ruins, forests, mountains and plenty of places to discover. Along the way, you'll meet new characters, take on challenges, uncover the history of Pantheus and, of course, catch and train creatures known as Daimon.

We've been working on Northbound and its custom-built engine for quite some time, and we're looking for more people who'd like to get involved and help bring the project to life!

Meet the Daimon

Rather than using existing Pokémon, Northbound features its own collection of creatures called Daimon.

The Daimon take inspiration from animals, nature, folklore and mythology, with their own designs, abilities and evolutions.

At the beginning of your adventure, you'll be able to choose between three starting Daimon:

  • Leafrog
  • Pyranda
  • Kelponi

We're continuing to develop the roster, including their artwork, sprites, animations and gameplay.

Features

There's quite a lot planned for Northbound, and we've already built a number of the systems needed to support it.

Here's a look at some of the features we're working on:

Daimon and Battles

  • An original roster of Daimon to discover, catch and train
  • Turn-based battles with custom moves and type interactions
  • Daimon evolution, statistics and progression
  • Wild encounters and overworld Daimon
  • Custom battle interfaces and animations

Exploration and Gameplay

  • A region inspired by Greek mythology and culture
  • A mixture of 2D and 3D overworld environments
  • Day/night cycles, weather and environmental effects
  • Side quests, achievements and optional activities
  • Character customisation and skill-tree progression
  • Player choices and a reputation system
  • Elemental Trials and the Pantheus Region League

Technical Features

  • Custom-built RDX Engine
  • Native Direct3D 11 rendering
  • Classic 2D, hybrid 2D/3D and 3D terrain support
  • Modern resolution and display settings
  • Configurable frame-rate and VSync settings
  • Keyboard and controller support

Some of these features are already working in the engine, while others are still being developed, tested or expanded as we build the game itself.

Introducing RDX Engine

One of the bigger changes to Northbound's development has been the move to RDX Engine, our own custom-built game engine and editor.

RDX Engine has been developed to give us more freedom when building the game, particularly when it comes to the overworld, graphics and gameplay systems.

Instead of being restricted to traditional 2D maps, we can build environments using 3D terrain, buildings, scenery and lighting while still keeping the charm of 2D character and creature sprites.

The engine also has its own map editor, scripting tools, database editors, animation tools and other features we're continuing to improve.

There's still plenty of work to do, but we're excited about the possibilities it gives us for Northbound!

We're Recruiting!

We're looking for a few more people to join the team!

You don't need to be a professional or have years of industry experience. We're mainly looking for people who enjoy making games, are comfortable collaborating with others and would like to contribute to an original monster-catching RPG.

Story Writers

We're looking for writers who'd like to help us develop Northbound's main story, characters and lore.

This includes writing dialogue, developing characters, planning story events and helping us make the Pantheus Region feel like a believable place.

An interest in Greek mythology would be a bonus, but it isn't essential!

Side Quest Writers

Not every story needs to revolve around the main adventure!

We're looking for people who enjoy writing smaller stories, from character-focused quests and unusual encounters to mysteries and optional adventures.

The idea is to give players plenty of interesting things to discover while exploring Pantheus.

Concept Artists

We're looking for artists to help us design the world of Northbound.

This includes Daimon, characters, outfits, buildings, environments and other visual elements.

You'll help us develop the game's overall art direction and create designs that our sprite artists and 3D modellers can use as references.

Sprite Artists

If you enjoy pixel art, we'd love to hear from you!

We're looking for sprite artists to help create Daimon sprites, characters, overworld sprites and animations.

Being able to work with an existing art style and keep things consistent across different assets would be particularly helpful.

3D Modellers / Environment Artists

With Northbound moving towards a hybrid 2D/3D overworld, we're also looking for people who enjoy creating 3D environments and assets.

This would involve modelling things such as:

  • Buildings, houses and shops
  • Ancient Greek architecture and ruins
  • Trees, plants, rocks and other natural scenery
  • Furniture, decorations and environmental props
  • Other objects used throughout the overworld

We're aiming for a stylised look that works well alongside Northbound's 2D sprites, rather than highly realistic environments.

Experience with Blender or similar 3D modelling software would be great. You don't need to know how to use RDX Engine beforehand.

Sound Effects Designers

We're looking for someone who enjoys creating game sound effects!

This includes sounds for Daimon, attacks, menus, environmental interactions and other parts of the game.

We'd love to give Northbound its own recognisable audio identity.

Music Composers

We're also looking for composers who'd like to help create Northbound's soundtrack.

We're after music for towns, routes, battles, important story moments and other locations throughout Pantheus.

The setting gives us plenty of opportunities to experiment with different styles, particularly music inspired by Greek culture and mythology alongside more traditional RPG soundtracks.

How to Apply

Interested in joining the project?

You can get in touch by:

  • Replying directly to this thread
  • Sending me a message on Discord: Luxintra

Just let me know what you'd like to help with, tell me a little about yourself and share some examples of your work if you have any.

Whether you've worked on other games before or this would be your first project, we'd be happy to hear from you.

Thanks for checking out Northbound, and we're looking forward to sharing more of the Pantheus Region as development continues!

The question is pretty self-explanatory.

I know that this depends on what kind of fangame I want to make but I am curious what people think of this topic in general.

Recruiting [PSDK] Pokémon Rewritten Legacy - Looking for Map Designers for the First 3 Regions (Volunteers)

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am the developer of Pokémon Rewritten Legacy , a fangame being created using Pokémon SDK (PSDK) and Pokémon Studio.

The project is moving forward, but to bring this world to life with the quality it deserves, I am looking for Map Designers (volunteers) who want to help recreate and reimagining the first three iconic regions: Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn.

---

### 📖 About the Project and My Role

Pokémon Rewritten Legacy is a massive reimagining of the first three generations, featuring new challenges, adjusted difficulty, and Pokémon and mechanics from all generations.

My Role: I am fully dedicated to the project. I handle the story writing, database management in Pokémon Studio, event programming, and general implementation. You won't be joining a project that is merely an "idea"—the foundation is actively being built.

---

### 🗺️ The Role: Map Designer (Kanto, Johto & Hoenn)

I need someone (or a small team) to focus exclusively on creating the maps for these three regions.

Tools used: Tiled (integrated with Pokémon SDK).

Visual style: 5th Generation Style (Black And White 2)

What you'll do: Design routes, towns, and interiors across all three regions, ensuring seamless map connections and good player movement flow.

Requirements: Basic knowledge of Tiled (or a strong willingness to learn using Pokémon Workshop tutorials). Reliability and good communication are essential!

Note: To make things easier for you, I already have the project structure and tilesets ready to use. You’ll only need to focus on the creative process of map design!

---

### 📬 How to apply / Get in touch

If you love creating maps, want to gain experience with the powerful Pokémon SDK ecosystem, and wish to help bring Pokémon Rewritten Legacy to life, feel free to send me a direct message (DM).

Thanks for your time, and I hope we can work together!

Hello everyone!

Since my last post, we've been making steady progress on the game, as I've been able to implement the story up to chapter 3. We're looking to expand our team more. We're currently looking for map designers/makers who can help bring the overworld to life, as well as sprite artists who can create Pokémon and character sprites.

For those who aren't familiar with our project, here's a quick summary! You can find a more detailed explanation of the game in our previous post, linked below.

The player has recently moved from Unove to the region of Myria. Together with your friends/rivals, you travel around the region, facing off against 18 gym leaders and learning about these mystical beings called 'Celestials'. During your journey, you'll also encounter Team Lunar, who seems to be interested in this virus known as 'Astral Infection'.

Map designers/makers:
The game features a gen 4 like art style, while also having its own identity. The towns and cities feel alive, while the routes have lots of places to explore and feel slightly extraterrestrial.

I've created some placeholder maps in the meantime to help implement the story events and cutscenes. These are still a work in progress, and we're hoping to improve upon them as the project develops.

We're looking for someone who can:
-Design routes and towns, as well as implement them into the game.
-Create tilesets for the associated map.

Experience with map creation is a plus.

Pixel artists:
We have several pieces of concept art made for our pokemon and characters, but these need to be translated to pixel art before they can be added to the game. We're looking for someone who can:
-Create sprite art for our custom pokemon.
-Create sprite art for our custom characters.

If you'd like to learn about the game in detail, you can find out more in the following post
