Tile Tropics & Wetlands

A set of lovingly hand-painted terrain square 2D terrain tiles of tropical jungle, sandy palm forests, swamps, wetlands, and bogs! Use these to enliven your videogame overworld, strategy game, boardgame visuals, or your next RPG campaign map!

• 36 tiles (9 biome types x 4 variations)
• includes 5 themed location types (temples, villages, etc)
• includes decor sprites (palms, trees, stumps, huts)
• painted at 256x384 pixels so that trees can overlap the tiles behind

Terrain types included:

• bog
• sand
• sand with palm forest
• grassy sand
• grassy sand with palm forest
• tropical plains
• tropical jungle (tropical plains with trees)
• wetlands
• swamp (wetlands with trees)

Usage

These square-format terrain tiles are intended to be drawn so that tiles in rows lower on the screen are drawn overtop of tiles higher on the screen. This will ensure that trees, hills, and mountains will appear to stand over tiles "behind" them. You can use a square grid or, if you like, a staggered square grid to get a hex-grid like effect.

The base grid is 256x256 pixels. The tiles are 256px wide and 384px tall, the top third being a transparent overlapping layer. All images are saved as lossless PNG files with transparent backgrounds.

If you want larger tiles, I recommend using one of those machine learning image upscaling algorithms that's keyed to painted pictures, the results can be quite nice.
