Painted Tilesets

Has anyone tried to use painting for a tileset before?

My idea is fairly simple, paint a couple basic grassy backdrops, use these as the background, then have all the accessories (trees, bushes, mountains, etc. have transparency anywhere grass would normally be present, this would free up an extra layer, and make it feasable to create Legend of Mana style worlds.  Naturally all the trees and such would also be painted and then cut out to fit.

Anyone thing of any problems this would have that I should be aware of before I make a basic attempt at it?

You mean like color changing the tilesets? I did a lot of it. Sometimes a few colors just don't fit, so I adjust them a little bit.

I think he means actually painting a real life picture, then making it a tileset via clipping/cropping/etc.

(Could be a GREAT idea for the ffc game, for like, the creativity outlet.

One of my ex-roommates has done that, lol! The game was hilarious, but only 5 minutes long.

He only took a few pics of the neighbourhood and put the into tilesets. They are not really good...

arrowone, hit it.  But instead fo cutting up a work, I would paint a smallish work, it would simply be a grassy plain, set this as the Panorama (I think, the one that if there is no tiles shows up as the background) and put a bunch of clear walking tiles on it.  Then paint trees, bushes, buildings, roads etc.  and then scan them, cut them out and load them in, a lot of editing would be needed to finish up the edges, maybe toss in some missing detail, etc.

Then you would be able to construct much more vivid landscapes, though the tileset would have to be very complex to be able to work.

What's the FFC game?

Yeah, I noticed it right after I asked, I think I should paint one town, and only halfway, then make a little sprite of me painting away, if the heroes talk to me, I'll be like.  "Sorry, I'm not done here."

Well, I get to work on some stuff after I buy some paper, I don't want to use any canvas due to the texture.  It may take me a while and I plan on trying out my real idea before making any jokes.

I draw some stuff on grid paper, then scan it and use it as tilesets.  The grid makes it easy to draw things to scale.  You can just scan the pencil drawing, then color it in photoshop or something.  Looks pretty sweet.  I don't have anything on me right now, but I sketched out a whole stage for a Mega Man-style game I wanted to make using Game Maker 6.0 using grid paper.

yeah...its a good idea (so wait, lotus is doing tilesets? sweet!), and thats exactly what they do for Mana games. Anyways, i hope, lotus, that you paint very miniscule details, because in game it'll matter.

Rep: +0/-0Level 88
Actually I plan on using a combination pof painted details and then using the computer to add in the other needed details, but I still have to get around to getting the paper, and planning out my stuff. 

For the first layout I plan on having a grass backdrop, 2-3 tree variants, some small shrubs and such, and some rock outcrops.  If it looks good, then I will try for more.

Unless it is a heavy anime game, I doubt they will be of much use to you, go play Legend of Mana for PS1 and you'll see the type of backgrounds I hope to be able to generate.

Never mind xD

EDIT: But I need them though. Like on the grass and under. Showing ground and stuff. And ontop a real bed. Etc. Stuff that would be bigger then a mouse because I'm making a game that needs to invole that big stuff.
