I completely finished everything barring testing and then when I release this version, it will all be up to you to try to make this look like a beautiful masterpiece! Again (in-case there are newcomers) the leaky tiles are just because of the actual bitmap files themselves as when one uses a basic scaler utility on textures, the edges of each tile leak into adjacent tiles.

Also, I modified a few textures so you will need to rebuild off of mine again. I made all my textures 8-bit to reduce memory usage and that is how the original game was, but you don't have to follow suit and can still use 32-bit textures like before. Just careful to make sure the colours are correct when you convert the greyscale font textures as the glyphs need to be white.

What a news <3 ok so could you please guide me how can I test my WIP tiles with the current version ?

[Mhatxotic]

You can't right now because I've needed to update the engine again to make this feature work so you wouldn't even be able to make the latest released version work properly. When I am ready and tested it enough I shall build and upload a new version of the engine and Diggers.

ok :) still the news makes me excited, thank you for making it happen

You're welcome! Thanks for giving me motivation to want to work on this.
