@Pawige: Thanks. Yeah I've been working on an engine for it. Hopefully it will be single player and also online multiplayer.

@Alex Hanson-White: Thanks, yeah I definately need to work on the blending of the road tiles, they are way too clean and floating.

@AdamAtomic: Haha, I'm the same about dithering. I reckon there right and wrong times to use it, and rocks is a right time. The water took ages to get right, I almost gave up on it.

@xanthier: Glad I could inspire :D

@sharpm: Cheers, hmm, inspirations and influences from most prominant in my mind while working on it to least would be WarCraft II and III, Halo, StarCraft, Doom, Chaos Engine.

@Xion Night: Thanks =D

@Larwick: It is isnt it! Thanks for the ideas on the road, and comment :)

@KilledBySuicide: Cheers. Hehe, guess I'll just have to do more for people to comment on ;)

@ZoSo: Thanks =D

Here's how the tiles look:

Awesome work.  For the road, I think you should shift the line back towards the top of the screen, as I think it would help stop the appearance of being from directly overhead.  Also, moss growing up onto the road's edges and having cracks spread on the actual road would make it look more worn, and you even have puddles if you wanted to to fill in potholes.  In all, make it mossy, cracked, and sinking.

Ufff.. Great work!

The only i not like much is the tile of brown terrain is too simply, i thinks needs to add other color or anything to make minus repetitive, and a little more detailed.

@Sohashu: those are some great ideas, thanks!

@Matriax: I can see what you mean. The brown muddy dirt shouldn't end up being used in large patches too much, so hopefully it wont be too huge of a problem.

Update: Played with the road a bit, still got a way to go with it yet...

I think the problem with the road is that the way your tiles are made, the road gets placed on the dirt/grass, while in reality, the dirt/grass would be invading on and being on top of the road.  So it might make more sense to just have the road as a solid gray and make an overlay of grass and/or dirt to put on the edges.  Just a thought.  This looks amazing otherwise.

Ah ha.  The road is looking much better.  But as for the stripe, that is the part of it which is gonna sell the perspective.

It was just a quick swap, but I hope you get the picture.
