Seems I'm never going to finish this, for it has been collecting dust on my desktop for, say, a month. So, here it is... Made of 16x16 tiles.

EDIT: included the additions made by usr_share and surt

EDIT2: keith karnage did some extra tiles which can be found here: http://opengameart.org/content/floating-islands-0

EDIT3: I've added the snow tiles and some extra water tiles, together with the grass and water tiles all arranged in the same pattern that keith karnage proposed and used (see link above). Snow expansion was requested by Neil Wallace for supporting me on Patreon, so thanks goes to him as well :)

Added a few rock tiles to the bottom of the floating islands. Also recovered bridges that were missing in the actual download, while still being in the preview.

Here's a bad attempt at creating a waterfall. It assumes the colors 20-24 in the palette are cycled forwards (which is pretty much how some old games did effects like shining coins and, yes, waterfalls). The first image is the original, the second displays the animation in GIF.

Here is a little mockup of what it should look on a TI calculator with 4 shades of gray. I like this set a lot. Hope it'll have a lot of expansions. I added too a little addon to blend correctly holes in little maps.

Hello!
My name is Cody!
I will be using this tileset inside my 2d rpg game I am creating.

If you want credit, and to view the game when it's done, please email me at maroonrs2@live.com

Thanks for the awesome tileset!

It'd be cool if we could keep adding and modifying this to have a really awesome little tileset.

I am not much of a pixel artist but I've added the other end of the bridge. I also noticed that there was no flip side to the other side of that rock wall. I hope this helps you as it helped me.

There's nothing wrong with the horizontal bridge. It's comprised of 3 tiles already.

Also, how old are you?

Might be so, but it will create complications on a linear 16x16 read of this picture. Plus, don't forget, the bridge would have an awkward gap of one pixel making the bridge's planks slightly bigger. I am 17 years of age.

@Kemono, @Hydroque: Hummm... I don't seem to understand either of your edits. Both the vertical and horizontal bridges are already composed of three tiles (a middle one and the two extremes). Also notice that the extremes are intentionally made to take a small portion of a tile, so that bridges seem to begin on cliff borders.

The only issue I notice is a half-tile misplacement of the horizontal bridge with respect to the grid, but that's not much of a problem.

Also, @Hydroque: no need to credit me, as stated in the attribution instructions. If you wanted to be kind (and I'd appreciate that) you could credit me as written in the attribution instructions section. You are not obliged to do that, though. And if you should make a game with this, it'd be cool to take a look at that, so please post a link here (if you want to and if you have it, of course)

@Buch I am sorry to of confused you. Yes ideed the tiles are correct, but be aware that reading a map like this takes two things. It be one tile per 16x16, and not have tiles intertwined with other tiles. Meaning I can't read a tile inside another tile. It has to be snapped to a 16x16 grid unless I get really fancy with my loading which I am not going to do because it is a huge waste of time. Also check out my rock wall edit. I also uploaded another picture over mine that is more new.

I still can't see where's the issue you're pointing to (unless you're referring to the previously mentioned grid alignment of horizontal bridge). Maybe this picture will be of some help understanding how tiles should be split. As you see, there are no intertwined tiles, and all the tiles are 16x16. Hope this clarifies

My bad, there was nothing wrong with the verticle bridge, I measured it wrong, heh.

 

To make up for it, I fixed the left and upper water border tiles so they were more consistent to the perspective and added sides for use as deeper water tiles.

Example:  http://puu.sh/9XRV4/155c326fb5.png

Also fixed the rocks, mushrooms, they were on two tiles which was wasted space so I moved them to one. I thought perhaps you'd meant for it to be used as a fringe/block thing, but it wouldn't work given the size.

 

Stump was too close to the tree for mapping, so I moved it over to the right. It also takes six tiles (?!) it could easily be on four, more wasted space! It's now on four tiles.

Example: http://puu.sh/9XRWO/fadce6a14d.png

 

Also, for the big tree, it now takes up 16 tiles instead of 20 and is centered with 7 pixels of space either side.

Last but not  least, the straight edge of the top edge tile was bugging me, so I changed it.

Before: http://puu.sh/9XXAA/9b269e69f9.png

After: http://puu.sh/9XXsO/3588fc8070.png

 

That's all for now, going to keep adding bits to this over time, I've got some assets from my own custom tileset that will go nicely with this one with some recolouring so I might throw those on here.

 

Keep at it all, this is a nice style and would be great to see as a game.

 

MoretileEdits

 

You can do a decent amount with the current tiles.

I think I'm going to try working on some stone ruin tiles to put on the island. :)

@Kemomo I suggest using @'s to address people. I am programming it myself. I am using LWJGL (OpenGL bindings and tools) to create a 2D game. If you want to know more I recommand sending me an email at maroonrs2@live.com. Here is not the place for chatting about that. @Buch I was assuming that the bridge with handles were part of the same (Thus being 32x32 without my extension) though to put it to use I had to split the middle into a seperate tile in order to use, for i used the handles + some of the bridge as a tile. Hydroque - "One Tile Per Square" @KemomoI was wondering if bubbles could be added to the waterfall's bottom. It seems strange to me. It looks more like rapids.

@Hydroque

I sent you an email. Steam would be preferable.

My username on Steam is the same, as is my avatar so I shouldn't be difficult to find.

 

As for the waterfall, there is a single height fragmented line at the base and top of the waterfall which are supposed to be bubbles though they are hard to see, I would imagine that a seperate animation layered on top (similar to a spell animation) for bubbles would be better, that way you can use the seperate animation elsewhere.

@Buch this is what I have to do with the textures. Would it be possible to make these into 32x32 textures?

At any rate, I've made a packed tileset, containing all the original tiles plus the edits and additions made by surt, usr_share and Kemono. It does work well in at least two popular map editing programs (Tiled and PyxelEdit), and I won't change that layout anymore.

Also, @Hydroque: what do you mean by 'making these into 32x32 textures'? Do you want the tiles to be 32x32? Or do you want to split the image you posted into 32x32 pieces?

@Buch The packed tileset helps a lot. I had to split all the tiles myself from the picture to reorder them. I'll just generate an XML for this. I was wondering if you could recreate this set as 32x32 res. (same theme, more pixels... not resizing it.) Apart from that, this set needs characters badly (to quote, unquote gauntlet)

All compiled into one, you're right, works great in Tiled. Hopefully I'll get my name up there as a contributor when I actually get around to adding something, haha.

Here is a screen shot of a possible map I could make.
I found the water a bit lacking. As you noticed I am forced to use the rock-based bottom water tile. I will try to work around with extending it to see if I can't normalize it.

Noticed a need for this tile. you could leave it flat, but I prefer the grass up against it look. I took some grass from the stairs and rolled with it.

 Also changed the grass decoration thing, wanted to give it more of a curved look. Kept both though.

I'm taking a while to add anything, I have to go back to photoshop from Paint.NET which is far superior in everyway except for the fact there's no resizable grid in Paint.Net for tileset.

(Software talking, have you tried softwares like Grafx2 or Graphics Gale? In my tastes I love Grafx2 but Graphics Gale or Pro Motion look quite decent for pixel art.)

Yea I've tried Graphics Gale, the interface feels like I'm on a Win.98 machine again. Paint.Net works great for me, I just wish I knew how to add plug-ins and whatnot so I can add features like an adjustable grid myself!

Is your waterfall complete? I don't think you upload all of the frames for the waterfall to actually animate.

Yes, it is. In my original comment, the PNG has an indexed palette (the later comments broke it). In this palette, the colors 20 to 23 are supposed to be cycled. The changing colors will imitate animated water.

You can see how color cycling works in GrafX2. Right click on the "Gradient" button and make the following settings:

After that, the waterfall will look just like in the GIF I posted.

This method of imitating animation was also used in lots of 8- and 16-bit games. For a modern example, OpenTTD uses color cycling exclusively to animate water movement and city lights on the map.

I have no idea what that is and I don't do openTTD, all I know is that when I put it into my engine and line up the tiles, it doesn't animated properly.

I made use of some of these over there.  It is not a finished work or anything, just something I was playing with.  I made a binary space partioner in javaScript to build a random island and bridge map, then added some other stuff on top.  I had to rearrange and rework your tileset a little so my tiling algorithm could cover all fourty seven cases. Those are here.

You make nice stuff!  Thanks for sharing!

@keith karnage: hello and welcome around here! I looked at what you did. I suggest to use the blue-ish darkest color as a background color rather than black as it would help the transition of the tiles into empty areas and does help with the tile seams as well. In any case, keep up! I'd be happy to see something done with this assets.

As for your edits, they look useful to me, as they add all them T-joints I never have the patience to make :) It would probably have been easier to post them here so that they stayed in a single submission, though... Well, I'll add a link in the description.

Just to comment on this from the past, but my biggest problem with these images is they didn't fall along a pixel grid which made it impossible to scope out the tiles. So I compiled it or I split all the images up into their own file first.
