NeoLemmix Styles / Re: Orig/OhNo-style styles
« on: April 21, 2024, 01:30:48 AM »I'd say the specific vibe of the original styles is mainly due to:
1/ A limited color palette.
2/ Not too detailed pieces that can easily be combined to make larger structures.
The original tilesets were like a toolbox to build anything. The feeling of the Tribes tilesets was quite different, probably because they contain whole recognizable objects as terrain pieces.
Agreed. And paradoxically this is why imo the L2 styles have much less usability, they have charm but they feel less long lasting durability. What makes the L1 styles so memorable and diverse is precisely their vagueness and abstract quality. I remember wondering as a child, for example "is that a well?" in the dirt tileset, or "is this a factory or something else" about the marble tileset.
