LPC Tileset wishlist

Hi all,

We've got a robust conversation happening elsewhere that's mostly about the character sprites https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/improving-lpc , I wanted to share a few ideas I have for expanding the tilesets and get input on what others would be interested in/like to see.

A few ideas I have been considering:

- Making more diverse/viable biomes: right now we could make sort of grasslands, forest, maybe jungle, mountainous/rocky, snowy, desert. I'd like to expand those (for instance, I've posted WIP cactuses and more succulents for the desert here https://opengameart.org/sites/default/files/forum-attachments/beach-dese...), but also add some new ones: grassland savanna, shrubland (Mediterranean/Garrigue/Chaparral), tundra (needs more snowy plants, patchy grass), taiga, wetlands (bog/swamp/marsh). I'd love to hear suggestions about this!
- Adding more variation to common terrain types (e.g. grass, dirt, snow, rock): I've posted some examples here for grass https://opengameart.org/sites/default/files/forum-attachments/grass-test... , but the general idea is to add more interest/variation to those terrains.
- Adding furniture/decorations/objects for specific rooms (e.g. kitchen, bathroom, study, etc.) or shops/occupations (e.g. tailor, blacksmith, innkeep/tavern, brewer, alchemist, etc.)
- Full-featured sailing ship(s)

Of course, I'm also interested in continuing/expanding on some of my existing projects:

- More animated crops and fruit trees
- More plant foliage (including forage-able herbs) and more realistic trees
- Adapting the general-purpose furniture sets to be more versatile (more combinations of shelves/counters/cabinets/desks, making sure it's easy to place items on various tables/shelves, making sure chairs line up with tables, etc.)

What do you think? What are you working on? What do you feel is missing from the LPC tilesets? What would be most useful for your game?

tundra/glacier
battering ram (siege weapon expansion)
craft shops
volcano/lava tube
astral plane/celestial kingdom
haunted castle/crypt
enchanted/magical forest
animated lava, tar, acid pools
race-themed villages (orc/goblin, elf)
gold/gem/diamond mine
ground fog

not saying you should do all of them, of course, just brainstorming

Awesome ideas!

Any suggestions/ideas for craft shops?

+1 for all of Boom Shaka's suggestions :)

Some of my suggestions may already have been done; I'm not the best at keeping up with LPC stuff. I know some seasonal tiles have partially been done, but any terrain or land feature that doesn't already have a Summer/Autumn/Winter/Spring equivalent is something I think many people could use.

craft shops?

  • Smelter/foundry
  • Clothing boutique/loom/textiles/dye vats
  • Blacksmith/Armorsmith/weaponsmith
  • Apothecary pretty much done!
  • Bakery/restaurant: lots of food items already. I think there's an oven, too. What other stuff would make sense for food prep?
  • Bowyer/Fletcher
  • mystic emporium/wizard's labratory: enchanting or imbuing things with magic. I imagine some device prominently featuring a large crystal (glowing or non). Like a crystal affixed to a stand. Not like a pedestal just for showing off a crystal, but a magical device where the crystal is the primary component making it function.

Some of these are really good ideas! Some assets I've been wanting are more bosses, so far there's only a few that could be bosses, like Arachne or the minotaur.

I would love to see sailing ships (pirate style)! Like this:

https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-wooden-ship-tiles

But then horizontally oriented, including items like canons, chests, sails etc etc.

That would be my number 1 wish :)

More crops and trees are also very useful, I think we can continue working on that again in the future, if you are also up for it again :P
