As a New Englander, I think I'm allowed to ask "what kind of sick person *prefers* Winter weather over Summer?!" ;P
Also, you didn't change the coloring of the soldiers in your edit, which might be a factor behind why I prefer the original one.

@Mahan: It's pretty cool how you turned the scene into nighttime. It's not what i had in mind though, and I also think you need to change the soldier coloring for it to work.

After messing and failing with Tiled's automap feature (God that was confusing!), I gave up and made a mockup by hand.



I'm happy with the walls and roads, but the sewers and cracks don't work so well. Help anyone?

After seeing StevenM's recent awesome 8-bit mockups I had to revisit my tileset to try to achieve something similar... tadaah:



Yeah the tiled floor are almost identical to Steven's, but they where so genious I had to use them! This style rocks btw, anybody know of any good games using similar techniques? C+C welcome as always.

wow. outstanding difference, imho. Just don't forget to check your soldiers pop out on these tiles as well.

As for the "tiled dust", It reminds me of StarOcean-BlueSphere on GBC for which there used to be a "commercial critique" thread around.

Thanks!

oh yeah, found the commercial critique thread, that's a pretty cool game. Used some of their ideas to further improve the tiles.

Added soldier + tank, and pushed saturation way up. Cool? Partial outline or no outline? I'd prefer not to need the outline, but I suppose this is one of those function over form situations.
