Thanks guys.

I'm glad you like the Castle Bertram and I can't wait to see you use it in your epic game.

I still need to make about a dozen tiles to finish the Castle.  I'll finish it in a week maybe, I just get tired of working on the same thing and need a break from it.  Right now there is only 1 tower size.  I cheated and stretched the tower by using the same tile on top of itself, thats why it doesn't look perfectly diagonal and bumps around.  I was suprised how it all came together and it looks pretty good as is.  Heck it might be better bumpy then perfectly diagonal.

No need to beg me Bertram :-) I was planning on organizing everything I used of Hyptosiss art into nicely organized tilesets.  While I organize I might recolor things to better fit the style.  You know my normal variations/additions.  More coming soon-ish.

Sweet! :D  It's my pleasure and I'm truly glad it will help you out.  Thank you for making such a great game/engine and am looking forward to playing your game "Hero of Allacrost".  Just so you know I need to finish the back towers a little and I plan on organizing all of Hyptosis' stuff (thats in this example) into nicely organized tilesets to make your and Bertram's life easier :)

I contacted Hyptosis on http://www.newgrounds.com  to invite him to check out this Castle example and here's what he said :)

Hyptosis: "Very cool! Thanks for letting me know! I looked over the entire place, makes me feel happy!"

The link's already there.

Hyptosis' huge collection of 2d tiles (CC BY 3.0): http://opengameart.org/content/lots-of-free-2d-tiles-and-sprites-by-hypt...

It's in batch #1 tileset :)  I'll add better clarification of it because I take some credit making the grass to water because if you look close at batch #1 you'll see no water tile.  So I've completed hyptosis' water tile and made the variation to his grass using bit's and pices of what he had created for the cliff into water.  So essentially the credit on that goes 50-50%.  I'll specify that item now (in the description) and I'll work on setting up a image with each item pointing to the author.  So you guys can appreciate the work I do :)

 Edit: Ok just added more explaination to the change-log in the description.  I hope that clears up how I made the new water/grass variation.  I truly love it and I think it's the best water/grass variation ever!!  (still plan on improving the water tile tough)  The 1 I made using Jetrel's grass (Jetrel's wood tileset (CC BY SA 3.0): http://opengameart.org/content/2d-lost-garden-tileset-transition-to-jetr... )which is used in the screenshot but it combines 2 licenses together so I couldn't include it in this tile-set.  I'm contacting Hyptosis to try and clear up the licensing on that one so I can include it with my next tile-set that will be licensed CC BY SA 3.0 .  I should have that one submitted soon.

Added grass to water variation to link to the Lost Garden tileset made by Daniel Cook.

Also recolorized my market place and worked on the roof.

Also added a graphical explaination (ArtistInfo.png) showing my work seperate from Hyptosis' and what was used to create some of my new stuff.  Seeing it seperate like this confirms my gusstimate of 50-50% of the work here was done my me ;)

I thought a change log was good enough but I'm still learning how stuff is done here at OGA.  Sorry for not providing this sooner.

No hurry Bertram ;)  FYI I'll get around to better organizing it when I finish the last few tiles.

I was just checking out Clint Bellanger's Flare project page and noticed he was doing this onegameamonth challenge so I went to http://onegameamonth.com/  and saw they used my Castle example as January's inspiration :D Heck ya!  I thought I did a good job mapping that example and seeing it there let's me know I'm not the only one who thinks that.

I'd love to map a whole continent like that and make all the game content.  I think I could make a whole game myself using this old Dusk engine.  Dusk needs improvement code-wise :( and I haven't devoted myself to learning Java yet.  I'm actually willing to pay a Java developer to "modernize" the game.  I'll get around to updating my Dusk blog in a couple days explaining this.

@Kalagaraz Heh, it might appear like that but that's not what I was thinking when I put that corpse there.  I was thinking of 'Bandits' which are bad guys who rob people travelling the roads between cities.  A quest I had in mind was to kill the 4 bandit leaders, as 1 of the jobs for the bounty hunter's office. 

@AntumDeluge I want you to know I love what your doing with the art on OGA for Stendal (I played it a little a long time ago). Thanks for looking into Hyptosis' art to make sure he didnt miss anything when he was remixing using RPG makers assets for a strong inspiration almost like a derivitive. I'm pretty certain I know the difference between inspiration and derivitives. But as Hyptosis said he may have missed something. Thanks for looking into this stuff.

@MedicineStorm I must have got that before Bart edited it out of Hyptosis' submission. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I just made a quick 10 minute edit and drew my own clock face. I was inspired by the original but in no means is a derivitive. I also erased the lamp in question so the licensing on this should be good now.
