What are some resources for designing tile-based maps, like those

Nethack (and other roguelikes) has some...interesting tilesets, but the environment and effects were nice. I like the Dawnhack re imagining of the original 16x tileset.

Obviously meant for interiors.

I think what you mean is "How do I turn pile of tiles (pictured) into an interesting map?"

I don't know. I would suggest looking at a ton of world maps from the games you mentioned and seeing what you like about them.

Hey, this is a game changer. Thanks anon!

Speaking of which, does anyone have any tips for drawing topdown tiles? I can usually pixelate characters and objects just fine (even big ones like trees or buildings), but I can't seem to have any luck with terrain tiles.

I'm usually not a fan of using tiles for NH but those look pretty nice.

Pic or never happened

You can use icon creators to pixelate most pictures of objects, but they don't work well with terrain images.

RPG Maker.

Can you link me to some? I'm working on an SRPG and that might come in handy
