Well, I didnt try out in the game, just looked at the files, but the contrast seems too weak. Did you try working with black lines to get better contours? Two is the oddest prime.

I did - with these - and the ones before. 1 Pixel already makes to thick a line - plus you can't antialias and get those stairs Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills.

Im not sure, whether those stairs would be that annoying. I mean, these icons are very small, at least with a high resolution
But the trend is to big screens, anyway. Two is the oddest prime.

I've taken a try at the ingots, too, rendering them from 3D models. Here is a comparison of Astuur's (A) and mine (B) Comments? I see little people.

In front of the white background I would go for the (B) variant, though this may just be an artefact of the contrast as was mentioned before.

Chuck, can you give us a link for the .png download? I'd like to see them in game - and in all worlds. Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills.

Happy to oblige, Astuur! We could probably enlarge the idle images to 13x13 without too much distraction. I see little people.

Meanwhile I suggest getting the palette(s) from launchpad if you can. EDIT2: I have changed the link to the largest image available on Flickr 708x1024 Edited: 2011-03-10, 17:43

These are a little closer to the original size. Flickr puts a cap on file size. Hopefully these swatches will be useful. I see little people.
