TIGS Assemblee: Two terrific 8×8 tilesets!

Posted under Competitions, Free, Indie, Retro

You don’t see a lot of high-quality free tilesets for games, so when a new one comes along it’s worth shouting about. But because of the creative powerhouse that is the TIGSource community, their most recent competition – Assemblee – has given us not one but two impressive lo-fi tilesets that are perfect for Roguelikes and any other tile-based creation you may be working on.

Oddball started things off with an impressive 8×8 pixel suite including a font and many fantasy characters and monsters, then oryx chipped in with an expanded variation including a brilliant first-person dungeon tileset and more terrain and environment tiles. Both are a great foundation to work with, and easily expandable with anything you want to add yourself.

Check them out here:

There are already some playable Roguelike games using these tiles, too – some folks sure work hard! There’s a handy list of titles on this post at Temple of the Roguelike, and of course you can also keep track of developing projects for the second stage of Assemblee on the TIGForums. Definitely worth keeping an eye on – loads of entries so far!
