Topic: [Tileset] Maya-Tileset

Hey guys, i need a lot of feedback to improve this tileset. It's beta status, so don't hesitate to critisise it.
It is structured like the grass_tileset, so you can easily replace them in the editor at a standardmap to get a first impression.

What do you think is unteeish?
What does not fit?
What has to be changed?

I'm awaiting your feedback.

As I do not like that there will be made some maps with this unfinished tileset I put in some watermarks.

Re: [Tileset] Maya-Tileset

Nice detailed work, its able to compete with the battlehymn tiles.

But some constructive feedback now: I dont know what you think but that Tee killed by a spear is a bit faulty. Tees dont have that big colored hands afaik. And somehow the tee lies a bit weird. Anybody else sharing my thought?!

..oh and you're talking about Mayas uh? Ok then, MORE GOLD! Massive tons of shiny gold!

Re: [Tileset] Maya-Tileset

Maybe u can put Tee-Skulls
instead of human skulls on
this stake =/
Maybe a lil bit rounder with no
cheekbones this

Mayas are popular for Gold.
Think of the legend of El Dorado.
The Golden City.

They build this giant Maya Temples
Look here:

You can see it here http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/7803/image1wu4.th.png, that one does not need to use it, but it looks really great if you use it sparingly. smile But I was thinking 'bout it, too.

I will replace the cauldron, as I do not like it either. But I need ideas for a golden thingy wink So c'mon, tell me what to draw.

It is really really hard to draw tee-skulls. I tried to do a lot of them and I already made them more comic style, but the result is still unsatisfactory, but I try to act on your suggestion.
Maya temples are possible to draw with the background tileset. More in an abstract form, but at least it is somehow possible. The difficulty is, that one needs a lot of space to make a temple goodlooking and not only 5x5 tiles.

So I need suggestions for the image replacing the cauldron one.

Did the maya make voodoo? I thought vodoo was somewhere in afrika, while mayas are somewhere in mexico.. They likely did sacrifice animals for their good, but the practice of voodoo dolls? I wouldn't be certain if this isn't going to be a wrong gaming myth, like cavemans and dinosours...

Otherwise very nice work! We have far to less people trying to make good tilesets... As said, the human skulls don't really fit the teeworld, however I cannot think either how to make a tee-skull..

I am also not so confident how the mayas did with the skulls... did they put them on a show or didn't? Unfortunally I'm no maya expert, but I think a bit (web)research might make such endaveours even much cooler... I know for one example they must been a at least quite more brutal than today... the maya had also a football game, that was not very unlike ours today. However as practise the captain of the losing team lost his head after the game, well that was much more gaming endavour for the captains, huh?

Re: [Tileset] Maya-Tileset

okay okay, this is not authentic maya/voodoo and was not intended to be. It's a mixture of several mystic influences.

Re: [Tileset] Maya-Tileset

I'd make a tee swallowing version of Quetzalcoatl, that would be both teeisch, cute and authentic enough to respect of actual culture.

I googled a bit further, the football-like game they played was "Pok-A-Tok", use google to figure, this would be funny to make a Pok-A-Tok field in teeworlds :-)
