Helm, honestly I don't know if it makes sense to proof them for c64 specs, I wonder if there's any possible hi-res mode that would not "squarize" the piece too much. It would probably take some extreme programming.

There are several modes that might suit your piece - have at look at this great round-up.

Hi,

since many here love the C64 (palette), I thought I'd better inform you that today I released the 2nd preview of HOC INIT EXIT, a toy game for the C64 I fiddle with in my spare time.



Check it out on CSDb and enjoy!

Wonderful stuff.  for joy, here.

Has this project anything to do with this one? A sequel, perhaps?

I know at this point you'd prefer hearing something about the interface, but I've only got a few things to say about the jewels:
 * dithering isn't really suitable to depict shiny, smooth surfaces like those of jewels;
 * the bottom-right corner of the purple jewel suffers from flatness / dimensional clash due to bad shading;
 * maybe edges should be more reflective than the connected surface(s) (f.ex. the green one is OK in this respect, but the purple and the red ones aren't);
 * the red jewel lighting isn't consistent with the rest;
 * unless it's just my ignorance, lighting in general doesn't really convince me.

All of the above, IMHO.

Lendrick, I think you're doing a great job: your tiles look nice and different from usual
A couple of things could be improved:
 * borders: the grass-dirt transition is too sharp (well, this is something that affects all the tilesets of this kind);
 * dirt: the grid, although not really evident, can be seen.

Keep up the good work!
