Convey & Texture Tiler

Posted by Zanzlanz - September 17th, 2013


Hey Newgrounds!

First of all, I'd like to thank you guys for your really kind feedback on my Ludum Dare submission, Convey. I would have never thought I'd get 32nd place out of 2213 games, in Ludum Dare.
You guys are also responsible for getting me my first daily feature. So thank you! Your support means a lot! <3
And thank you Tom, as well, for putting Convey on the front page! I highly doubt the game would have gotten the rating it did without your help.

Attention game devs!
I made a simple site to help you quickly and easily test how well your textures tile in your browser! It's meant to be a convenient way to check for seamless tiling, and it's already helped quite a few people!

Just paste, drag and drop, or load the image into the site, and it instantly tiles it for you. Also, control the scale of the texture to see details or the big picture.

-- TextureTiler.com --

It works best in Firefox or Chrome, but does not support IE.

There's a Twitter page for it too, if you're interested in receiving update notices, or to send direct feedback on the site: Twitter.com/TextureTiler.

Lastly, I want to mention that my site is working properly again. For a few weeks it's been acting slightly odd... but now it's back to normal. Sorry to everyone that was inconvenienced by the issues; it is definitely my top priority to keep my content running and in healthy condition! :D

Thanks again!

Congrats on being in the top 1.4%, if my math is correct!

The texture tiler is really cool, was surprised how quickly and easily it worked. The scaling feature is fun too! I'll have to remember this next time I'm prepping something to tile.

Yes, exceptional math, haha!

I really hope the texture tiler will help. It's much easier than testing it by hand, that's for sure; especially for large projects.

Thank you, Tom!

Congrats!

Thank you, AssassinJoK3Rz. ;D

Tom tested and approved! Maybe a post (BBS) with a link to this little tool would be in order? There might actually be a thread, that has a list of little developer tools to smooth things out....

Yessir!

I think that would be great to have a public collecting of dev tools. I'm hoping Texture Tiler will get more visibility; I'm sure there are lots of developers who would love to use it.

I just used this for something!

Whoo! Thanks! :D
Was it convenient?

Yup!

Hurray! I'm glad!

Hey I saw your message! And my answer is yes.
