Update Log:

Gable and Hip Roof (GHR) Style is those kind of roofing you will find in most East Asian architecture.

Engineering the GHR into modular tileset, especially to comply with the most tile-limiting engine (I'm leering RPG Maker), isn't easy feat. It was going very well at the start of making. But soon after I started the basic building combination protocol, I encountered BIG problem: this kind of roofing  actually has very strict rules: 

1. If building is multilevelled, Building has to grow upper smaller and smaller on each floor, and it has to be done smoothly
2. To comply with smoother transition, two kinds of hip roof and two versions of walls must exist
3. Dormer can be present in limited fashion in architectural variation, but it must stop at the center of the hip instead of continues all the way becoming a gable.

If you choose to dismiss those rules, you can only "grow" short building that has... uneven wall to-roof transition (left picture, below). The wall section is wider than roof's base. To put simply, it was aesthetically weird. Compare it with the building that comply with the rules (right, below)

The only building that can comply without complying those rules is Pagoda (see the uploaded example)

Thanks to this, you CAN'T swap the GHR tileset with other tilesets with different roof style, even you can't swap their wall section. And unlike the gable sseries, you can't make building that looks like letter L or H - fortunately IRL GHR house like that isn't that common. Fortunately, I think this rule wil apply only for GHR tileset and other pyramid-roofed tileset. 

Update Impact:

While this update looks small, it is very significant for the development of my other tileset packs.  Thanks to this, you will see imminent update for my Traditional Japanese Buildings and Medieval Chinese Buildings Tileset Pack. So stay tuned!

Future:

There will be MORE roof styles: pyramid, bonnet, hip, the one usually paired with tudor wall (i forgot the name lol), dome, slanted, you name it, I probably build it!
