Hi every1body! I am almost sure that there's a tutorial I've missed about tiling somewhere on here, but I hope you will forgive me and help me find one. =P I've done bunches of pixely things (and read all the classic tutorials) but never anything tiled, and thought I might save some time by reading first. =)
In particular I'm looking to do tiles for a 2d platformoventure game ... which is in black and white now but probably won't stay that way, uncertain. The ground and such seems straightforward though not necessarily easy, but I am particularly curious about various theories regarding what scenery to make out of sprites and what scenery to make from tiles. So if you know any good reading materials on the subject please do share! (Or link me to the posts on this forum I've foolishly missed :\ )
Thanks!
Edit: Oho! I finally found a wealth of things: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=4912.0
Edit again: MMmmmpity there are not more dicussions there for side views. What am I to do? EXPERIMENT? Madness.

There was a great thread about tiles recently linked to in the forums.

The method used here can be applied to platform game tiles too. :)
