"The 5-FINGER DISCOUNTED"

... Jr. Dungeon HOBBY SET.

This is a free set of TILES, UNITS, MOBs, NPCs, VFX, and UI art. I've personally had minutes of fun with this set and now that I've outgrown it I would like to share that fun with viewers like you.
A $42 dollars value for FREE ($0 dollars). BUT BEWARN-ED! Everything comes with a price. Especially the free motel continental breakfast.

If you have the means and want to donate, absolutely do! Your support helps me get up and make more!


THE DIM SOULS OF ASSET-PACKS

At every turn I made this asset pack more difficult to use than it should be. Hard-mode IS easy-mode.  (Or... these are just the quirks that I liked experimenting with.)

Some examples of threats you'll encounter:

  • 12x12 TILES. - Not 8's, not 16's. 12's. You can 2x them into 24's if you're feeling froggy.
  • EDGE-CASES. - The tile floors and transitions corner up RIGHT ON THE EDGES. This allowed for those 12's to feel more DYNAMIC. give depth to that flat 2D floor. There are better ways? When I first made these I didn't care. I cursed myself for doing it. Now you are cursed too. (The B-SIDE cut this feature and uses chunky, inset transfers.)
  • WALLS. - They feel smalls! Kinda forced perspective-y.
  • ANIMATED TILES. - These may or MAY NOT still fit together. WHO KNOWS. Some have static duplicates in the tilemaps (like the spikes).
  • PROPS. - Some are built into the set, some are floaters. Consistency is key!
  • ANIMATIONS! - The majority of animations are restricted to 4 frames each. Some are "too complex" and dare to use up to 9 frames, and an elite few feel that "4" is "one too many" for their modest sensibilities.
  • VFX. - I'm actually REALLY GOOD at making them. But these are REALLY BAD. LIKE, PLEASE DON'T USE THESE BAD.
  • SOURCE FILES - The art was created in Pyxel Edit.

UNFINISHED?

Yes. This set was a playground of experiments. It has the original tilesets and a more robust, easier-to-use-but-not-quite-complete B-SIDE. I actually like the New version, but I don't want anyone to know that.

Hey, can you show more examples of use?

Are you saying you need to see MORE before deciding whether or not to purchase this exquisite work of art for ZERO dollars? Also, I don't wanna use these crappy assets, that's why I pawned them off on all of you.

WAIT DON'T GO! READ BELOW!

Actually though, I have an old html sandbox for it. I will have to dig up and see if it still works. Really it would look identical to the screenshot above in structure but has a few rooms to explore. It had a key to toggle all the biomes, some UI, and character controls/mobs to attack. The set is fairly niche and has little use outside of a micro dungeon crawler. I don't work in 3D but I know it translates okay in blender with Sprytile. I've wanted to try it in Crocotile but never picked that up.

If I can get it playing right... just expect that up at the top.

FOR NOW: Please accept this, the first mockup I made with it from the wayback.


Apologies I don't have more for you ATM.
