Tile Transition Template?

[Snow Fenrir]

Is there any tile transition templates that I can use for reference to know which tiles do I need to make for a working tileset?

This entirely depends on what kind of game you are making and the style you are going for. You could make a game which has nothing that really tiles, everything blocky. Or something with a lot of transitions.

Also depending on your perspective and how you set up your rooms/levels you will need different corner tiles and so on.

This really is mostly a common sense kinda issue, imo. Make some mockups, see what you need, go from there.

Explain in more detail what you are looking for, please.

What do most top down rpg's use? I'm looking to make a random rpg world generator so tiles wont be placed by hand.

I think it's 8 tiles, + 4 for inner corners.

Check out RPG Maker, the different versions use different kinds. Search for RPG Maker auto-tile tutorial, to get a hint on how they do it.
The latest versions use a quite complex system it seems, dividing 32x32 tiles into 16x16 tiles.

I think this kind of layout can represent all the variations, with no duplicates :

Here is a tileset I made for Dr. Dobbs Challenge Deuce.



the 24 (empty space counts as a tile too) tiles in the top left are all we used and the other stuff is all the possible metatiles.
You can see that there are actualy more than in the one yrizoud posted. This all depends on what kinda setup you use.
