About this Assetpack:

This assetpack follows a modern retro approach, it takes inspirations from NES aesthetics, but changes the restrictions to be more suitable for modern machines. It creates a simple, yet compelling pixel art style reminiscent of classic gaming (which is also quick  & easy to edit and enhance for indiedevs).

It contains environment graphics to build a secluded little woodcutter village in the forest. You'll get a full package including everything you need, like (animated) background layers, animations and tilesets. With the tiles you can build fields, a church, shops, houses and a bridge. The tiles are sorted and arranged in multiple ways and can be comfortably used with Game Maker Studio 2, Unity or in a software like Tiled. Additionally you'll find multiple simplified files, which will greatly ease your usage experience.

Does this set fit together with any other assetpacks?

Yes!

This Tileset works perfectly together with the Windmill Village and the Waterfall Caves Tileset.

In conjunction with the Windmill Village you'll be able to build much more diversified villages, because both tilesets complement each other in terms of tiles used. YOu could combine the walls with the other tilesets roofs and vice versa or combine the fields to create more towns for your world. The water tiles perfectly fit together with the Waterfall Caves and you could map out water for the caves, if you own this tileset.

There are a couple more tilesets in the same style, some game props (e.g. lights and destructible containers) and there are various assetpack add-ons for the character available, which will greatly enhance the movement. check out all the available content for the Simple Side-Scroller series with this link:
