RPG Mock-Up[C+C needed]

[venatorinc]

Hey,
I'm currently working on a mock-up of a graveyard. This is actually going to be a game, but this mock-up is just to get some tiles right etc.
I aimed for a style with tiny sprites, like the skeletons are about 16x16 pixels.
Now I have a problem: slopes. Birdview slopes are quite hard to make ( at least, for me ) and they just don't look right. They don't look like hills but more like higher edges with a deep inside.

Mock-Up:


I'd like some advice, also on making the whole mock-up better. Thanks!

The tiles are nice, but the mockup looks a little boring. I would make  different dirt tiles, and maybe make the colors a little more interesting.

Oh yes I forgot to say this is the beginning of my mock-up, I still need to add different stuff, scenery, etc. Of course it looks boring now
Glad you like the tiles

Btw, the colors had to be this "boring" , cuz the full game will have a dark theme, where you will create chaos

I would start by adding shadows.  I find that the tiles are lacking because shadows are exactly what they lack.

Otherwise they're great.

Thanks
Uhm, shadows on EVERY tile? or do you mean the slopes? or the ones with the fences?

I think both would be great.

Ooh, that hurt to read.

No, boring does not equal dark. You can have a dark theme with fun colors. Or a better word, with interesting colors.

Chrono Trigger...



Dark and interesting.
