VectoRaith's Medieval Chinese Buildings Tileset Pack Update v1.01


Here comes the v1.01 for VectoRaith's Medieval Chinese Buildings Tileset Pack!

A major update, there are slight design style changes. It includes these following:

  • Style adjustment for better modularity based on standalone Modular Buildings Tileset Pack
    • This allow this series to take advantage for partial modularity design
    • Modularity allow better customization in the future
    • Partial modularity allows more natural collision feel when used in-game compared to full modularity
    • Partial modularity also gives easier customization compared to full modularity 
  • Please keep in mind that although I designed the new sets to be partially modular and swap-friendly, modular use of the tilesets may reduce or even nullify swappability between corresponding set. Swappability is always 100% if you use the building design as is.
  • Additional set of building (Building 3)
    • Building 3 set, Two-Story Buildings. This set provides example of such modularity (see uploaded images) 
  • Redraw of original set (Building 1 set) to adjust with new style
  • Added variants for Building 1 set (royal yellow roof, alternative black roof, and green roof) and Building 3 set (main black and royal yellow roof)

You stil can find and use the old tileset that is placed and renamed in the same folder


Dev Notes:

You may realize that Modular Buildings Tileset Pack has more than enough resources to create pagoda and palace for this pack update, just like its Japanese counterpart. However, soon when developing this pack, I realized that I miscalculating the complexity of unique architecture of China, which created two problems: 

First, the Chinese square pagoda in real-life is actually very rare (see wiki article for Baisigou square pagoda or Shanghai's Songjiang square pagoda). Chinese architecture has their own signature octagonal pagoda, in which I haven't created it yet.

Second, similar to European architecture, Chinese castle complex use stone brick wall complete with their crenellations. Unless you are using RPG Maker and utilizing the wall autotiles, creating Chinese castle complex requires brand new set to make it functional - a flat-top roofing regime complete with their walling alternatives.

So perhaps update 1.03 will only come after I add special octagonal roofing and the flat top roofings in the Modular Buildings Tileset Pack .


Until then, happy tilemapping!
