![]() ![]() And I prefer the fact that there are fewer clashes between graphics so I don't have to use 'k' or use temporal context to work out what some object is. On the other hand if you were learning Japanese you probably would spend a lot more time analysing each character and it will be some time before you are automatically translating them.įor me I see plenty of detail in the 16x16 tiles because I've gotten used to them. you don't make a conscious effort translating every squiggly line in every letter, straining to see every detail, but that's because your brain has adapted to it. When you see a word in English your brain has already translated it into a concept. It's the same as reading (well not that complex, but similar in principle). Pretty soon it is automatically translating that small picture of a dog into the concept 'dog' without me having to consciously think about it or strain my eyes. The human mind is amazingly good at creating an association between an image and concept, even with a 16x16 image. Vettlingr's Tileset is considered by many players to be one of the best tile sets out there when it comes to a more 'modern' look for the game Dwarf Fortress. To you the icons look indecipherable because you played the majority of your game in ascii.įor me the pictures are perfectly clear and I've only played the game a few days. to have to depend on context and recent events to distinguish what something is, instead of having the thing itself clearly indicate what it is. Well for me that sounds far more cumbersome.

The package below was prepared using Kruggsmash’s official tileset as of August 2, 2018. Automated backups will definitely be in place now, like we thought they were before. Sincere apologies, this should never have happened. All of the files that were orphaned are now in the new Orphaned Files category at the bottom of the category list. Thankfully all file downloads themselves were unaffected. A lot of other data (comments, votes, so forth) was likewise rolled back. You may already be familiar with the tile set mod packs from Micha Mayday. User accounts were obviously rolled back too accounts newer than the time of the database backup will need to be recreated. A few bells and whistles wont change that. File listings for file IDs 10461 - 16147 could only be partially recovered but have fully intact and up to date file downloads. Changing from one to the other after you learned to play the game will always feel a bit weird because you will be forced to re-learn the symbols. ![]() Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. Long story very short: the site database was lost, the server didn't have automated backups like we thought, and the database had to be rolled back to one from 2015 (yes, I know). People who start with ASCII learn to recognize their symbols and are lost if they try to use 'image' tilesets and vice-versa for players who start with tilesets.
