MRMOTEXT

Hey, thanks!
I tried to "trim" the tileset to include as many different tiles I could, there's some tiles that have horizontal/vertical flipped versions or rotations included for convenience (some diagonals, "border" tiles etc), but yeah it's optimized for a workflow where you quickly pick foreground/background color and a tile and just place them on the canvas; I mostly use Playscii for this as it's the most convenient for me.
I just released Microbe-2, which is sort of a MRMOTEXT-lite, using 6x6 tiles instead of 8x8, but using the same "shapes and details" philosophy. It's free, go take a look!

Thank you very much! I'll be sure to give it a try, looks intriguing :D

Very nice!

Hello and thank you very much for your support! I'm glad you like it!

There should be some files in the Extended archive, in the "Rexpaint" folder; these should go into Rexpaint's Data\Fonts subfolder, and the final two lines of "config.xt" should be appended to "_config.xt". This should enable the use of MRMOTEXT Extended in REXPaint :)

where are you doing your work online?

Thank you! I made all of the sample art on the project page to showcase the tileset as well as practice textmode art :)

Hey! First of all thank you very much for supporting my work!
I'm aware of the issue you mentioned, and that's, unfortunately, one of the limitations of upscaling a low-resolution tileset. At 1x resolution, these bold diagonals would connect relatively seamlessly, needing only a 1-pixel corner tile to achieve fully seamless connection. This "almost" seamless connection made me decide not to include specialized tiles for such cases, as I thought it would make more sense to add more varied tiles instead.

The x3 upscaled version of the tileset magnifies such "imperfections" greatly, and makes "almost" seamless connections much less seamless. I only included it because I thought it would be interesting to "upscale" existing art done with MRMOTEXT and for its "clean" look compared to the pixelated, aliased look of the original tileset.

That being said, it would be very easy to just customize the tileset with the few special tiles you need- that's an advantage of using only two colours :)

I have no experience with macOS, but REXPaint should work with Wine?

Ok, I got it working. The problem wasn't 64-bit support, it was a breaking change in macOS for how it looks up the location of dynamic libraries.

I've got a recompiled version that works for me on a 2019 Intel MBP running Big Sur. Lemme see if I can upload it somewhere that you can grab and test it for me.

For the "basic" version, just split the tileset in two horizontally- the first section is the "specialized" tiles, the second is the "shape" tiles.

The "extended" tileset contains additional three sections, that follow the "left-specialized, right-shapes" rule, except for the text/symbols section on the very bottom.

There's a few empty spaces left for some minor future expansion or tweaking, and there's a few non-text characters after the text section since they could not fit anywhere else :)

I usually start with the "shape" tiles to create basic geometry and block out the basic shapes, and use the "specialized" tiles to add detail and texture, but there's really no set rules regarding how you should use the tiles!

Thanks a lot! :D

It's my GameBoy-themed retro-viewer thing I made in Blender :)
It features customizable resolution and Eevee-powered realtime image quantization up to 32 colors!

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you're enjoying working with the tileset!

Hey thanks :D

Thank you!

Thank you very much! Feel free to show off the results, as I'd love to see what people can do with the tileset!

Thank you! :D
