NOTE- This is a re-review. This review takes the initial score and then re evaluates what is fixed. New points are then added based on how much improved from the previous version.
Theres a reason why the theme got a long rant in my review- Itās easy to write about themes or misinterpreting thereof.
There isnāt much to say about usability, especially when these things donāt phase me in the first place. What am I supposed to do āItās been organized so I can find everything without taking a few seconds to look for it! Let me spend 3 paragraphs explaining all the changes in organization!ā ?
In the end, while the rant on themes may be dominant, neither factor was dominant score-wise.
Now if you recall I had other complaints.
For example, the extra tiles are still lacking in creativity, the monochrome scheme is still useless and still feels tacked on, the water scheme still doesnāt make any sense or have anything special added to it aside from the color scheme that adds to itās name of āwaterā. The Tex. BG still looks rather ugly in my humble opinion D:< (Canāt forget the āD:<ā, thatās essential), the waterfalls still donāt make any sense in the Ice, Fire, and Dark versions (since Dark has now been overhauled to work as a darker version of Fire), hell, the water falls just feel cheap in general, and the tilesetās name still feels like an overstatement especially when you still didnāt add all of Disguiseās essential tiles.
Also, all you did thatās easily noticeable was change the dark pallet, fix Iceās color mishap and tack on the old BG. Great, that didnāt actualy take any themes/feelings into account. If you did, you would have taken the time to actually flesh out the pallets like I suggested. Among my suggestions were (with words to them since unless theres alot of words, you wonāt pay any attention apparently) āMake monochrome something appealing people would want to use, perhaps by making it look like a 1930s cartoonā, āThe fire edition should have a lavafall, since water in hell doesnāt add upā, āThe waterfall should be frozen in Ice. I mean, theres only two tiles that are ice in the whole set as it is, you might as well add something else to itās namesakeā. Finally, did you even bother to copy and paste in the other destruct blocks? Seriously, itās not like you even have to put in any creative thinking to do that.
This is a sentence on how easy it is to find a tile in the set. No really, it is really simple. Most of the ground pieces are placed right next to each other! And all of the trees have been grouped together! So have the 4 destruct blocks! All of the skeletal parts are right there! No time spent looking! Wow, I really canāt say enough about this!
Itās amazing, you seriously wonāt beleive how you used it beforehand! Iāll even be cocky and say never use the old one again! Just so you REALLY get the picture on how easy this is to use, hereās the same paragraph again! This time as a runon sentence: This is a sentence on how easy it is to find a tile in the set, no really, it is really simple. most of the ground pieces are placed right next to each other, and all of the trees have been grouped together, so have the 4 destruct blocks, all of the skeletal parts are right there, no time spent looking!
Pros-
-Better Organization
-You can now use every tile from the old set (Like the old BG for instance)
-Dark now has a purpose aside from āRandom color scheme!ā
-Ice has been fixed
Cons-
-Water and Monochrome still feel to random and neither have anything that really warrants their use except āHey want to use some random colors?ā I donāt care if itās weird, what I want is for you to take that weirdness and actually DO SOMETHING with it. Anyone can make a color scheme. Itās not that hard to make color schemes, hell Purple Jazzās entire tileset career is based on making color schemes. Iād like to see something actually done with the scheme.
-Still hasnāt added all of Disguiseās essential tiles, not even the easy ones like destruct blocks.
-Despite saying that the feel of the set was taken into account, all that was done to the set tile-wise was the addition of the old background
-Waterfalls still feel tacked on and unimaginative
Cons that donāt affect the score- ā Old BG was removed because converter felt it was too ugly (Iām inferring). This did not take potential users of the tileset into account, and was a very bad move. It has since been fixed of course, but this is something that should have never needed to be fixed in the first place.
So you fixed some colors and added in the old background (Which ironically is miscolored in the ice version, Iāll let it slide since the pallet wasnāt meant to include it), I hope you werenāt expecting me to add 5 points to your score just for that.
DR- Sure, the original sets are now easier to use and is all there so you canāt exactly lose there. Otherwise, the improvement isnāt exactly all that major, and what has been done with the set imho still isnāt worthy of the title ā2.0ā
