the tiles at the bottom took a long time, because rather than make one texture with the blue and gray tiles, I made a texture for the blue ones and a texture for the gray ones and placed the textures individually...(in the same way the that BG tiles were probably placed when making the original map for the game...)
Basically, all of the 16x16 BG tiles, will be redrawn in higher definition in photoshop as separate textures...essentially I'm making a 3D tilemap out of a 2D tilemap...
Some objects aren't cube shaped and will need custom textures though....like the bookcases, and probably the railing.... and the plants...
Anyone ever noticed the images of the Mammon Machine are drawn everywhere in Zeal? the sealed doors have a likeness, a lot of the walls have them... all of the wall panels in the Black Omen are shaped similarly to it... granted it does look pretty cool, but did they build the machine in the image of something else, or did they randomly decide to paint pics of the machine all over their country?
