Desktop Dungeons: tilesets ahoy!

The TIGSource community recently managed to get its collective hands on Desktop Dungeons, and the good folk there have been tearing it apart with felt-tip pens and pixel sorcery ever since.

Derek Yu has set up this cool thread for DD tilesets and the like, so head on over if you’re interested in crafting or downloading cool new looks for DD. Some of the highlights include Yu’s DD tileset, a sci-fi interpretation from PencilInPain and a classic roguelike set by Hangedman.

The tileset editor in Desktop Dungeons isn’t really that amazing (right now, it actually just consists of grunt file creation and placement), but it’s pretty awesome seeing what styles people can come up with. This, combined with the interface overhaul in coming versions, should help make the game look all varied and stuff in addition to being oodles of fun.

We’ll try to grab some of the better tilesets we see and bundle them up with future releases of the game. It would be a shame if future players missed out, after all.
