Hello Everybody! :)
My first itch.io release, it's a dungeon tileset on a 14x14 pixel raster with 8 colors. Please have a look :)
happy gamedev!

It looks really nice, I love the choice of color palette.

Can I ask why you chose a size of 14 x 14 though? A lot of devs will have chosen a power of two for their game grid, 16x16 might have secured a bigger market.

Hey, thanks!

You are right, usually I am doing 8x8 or 16x16, I just wanted to try something different by the 14x14.
Fit the same deatil in a smaller form factor. This may be unusual to some and not the choice if I would be after the money.
In my experience, if you do a game from scratch it doesn't matter, you can stick to the 14x14 but this may cause issues if you want to use other assets which normally go into 8x8 or 16x16.

I am planning to do a few more. I got lots of 8x8 stuff and 16x16 too. So by time, there will be a broader range. So this one is the first try, and getting a bit known to the process on itch.io, (the legal stuff etc.)

That's fair enough! Like you say if someone is building their game from scratch they can always go for 14x14, I just wondered why you'd gone that route. I do really dig the style, I'd like to see a game made with this sheet.
