Tile System Upgrade Progress and Design


The tile system upgrade is progressing slowly. I am still in the stage of setting things up. The first thing is to get a stage displayed properly.
I think I have finalized the design on the tile system variety part though. There will be 3 types of decorations in the tile system, which is illustrated in the above picture. I won't go into the technical details because it's difficult to explain in words, although it's simple concept. The first one shows floor consists of similar tiles. There are small differences, but they can all be connected together. The second one is best described as a "lawn" or cover, a tiled decoration on top of the tiles. The third one is already implemented, in which 2 different sets is used in one stage.
Originally I have something that might be more flexible in mind, but it's way too complicated and might not even work properly. The added flexibility might not matter that much at all, and this design require less work. So I think I will stick with this design, unless something ingenious pop ups in my mind later.
