I posted about this project here quite some time ago under a different username, to which I have apparently forgotten my logon info. No matter, I just came here to show you guys this. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/shannon1978/Dwemer%20tileset/MGEScreenshot2-2.jpg?t=1325525308

Looks great Are you releasing it as a resource or what?

I'm glad to see you're working on this again. I really liked the old screens, too; it's an interesting tileset with a healthy dose of steampunky goodness.

I really like the top half of these. I would like the bottom marble part to be tweaked though. It feels like it's too detailed to me (if that makes sense?). However, I really like them and can live with just how they are too

Actually Id rather make a playable mod from it instead and then people can use it afterward. Im considering adding a bunch of new dungeons in this style to the game. Ive got an idea of how to explain their sudden appearance...


Thanks! The old version was mostly a copy of the lobby of Oakley sunglasses inc...lol. I tried to make it more 'my own' but instead it gradually started to look like a case of plagiarism from the Oblivion Ayelid dungeons (completely unintentional on my part). I wanted the set to look at least somewhat grounded in reality and not just a collection of way-cool shapes made into walls.


Do you mean the pillars are too detailed or the walls? Theres no way Im changing the pillars lol but the walls are definitely up for improvement and not by making them less detailed either! Intricacy is the name of the game here, its the only way.

call it high dwemer. Make a more noble type dwemer ruin. Like an abandoned noble house. Instead of a refinery or mine. They would have those. And this tileset looks to fill that hole nicely.

"High Dwemer" - I like that.

Might not be a refinery but Im still going to make machines for it

Yes, that makes sense. Skyrim, too, features elaborately detailed Dwemer ruins, after all.

One of the toughest things about this tileset making buisness is getting the scale right. ive always felt that most of MW's interiors felt a bit cramped and its always bugged me that nothing is ever more than two stories. Almost every exploration heavy games has huge, sprawling environments with lots of vertical space and narrow bridges while MW is mostly a bunch of boring tunnels. But, make something too large and it feels as if you are walking very slowly-until you add small details.

Another problem is that Im making this up as I go along and have no blueprints to follow about what the final product should look like. Ive taken to downloading concept art from the net. Theres a ton of really cool looking stuff in Linage2.
