The right palette combinations...there's a lot that goes into choosing a palette! But in all seriousness, choosing D16 as my palette for this project was more of a personal challenge than an artistic choice, so I'd advise choosing one palette for an entire project unless it's something larger like Dawnbringer 32 or the NES palette.
For choosing your colors, I can only suggest reading this tutorial over at the PixelJoint forums. They show a lot of good techniques like hue-shifting and color ramps, as well as how to balance your saturation.
Well, yes and no. If you're asking how to place sprites onto the actual tiles, then simply add a new layer and place the sprites in the upper layer. But if you're trying to turn wall tiles into floor tiles, that won't work for perspective reasons. But due to popular demand, I have made some perspectiveless wall tiles which you might be able to work with. I'll be updating the main download with them in just a minute.
I'm talking about an easter egg of sorts. Like if you try to eat a longsword 10 times in a row, then the sprite will pop up for a second. It's kind of a silly form of attribution, but it'd be awesome to see the weird places Platino pops up.

LOL!
Yeah, that definitely works. I'm not really sure whether you're serious or trolling me, but either way that is exactly what I'm talking about. :D
