Have you ever felt like the original ASCII tileset was too *butt*?
Or you're feeling slightly happy?
I have to admit for a certain fondness for the original POWDER tileset -
not aesthetically appealing, but highly functional. I remember when we
were both playing, Clare saying of one of the later tilesets that "it
looks pretty, but every monster looks a bit like a chicken."

If we aren't perfectly synchronised this corncob will explode!
Today is Aponoia, December.
Tomorrow will be Epithumia, December - a weekend.
I specifically specified the old ASCII tileset. The other ones range from eye-bleeding to decent, and that's fine.
As for the Blues, I aim for functionality as well. While textures can be a little bit distracting, letter glyphs are easily recognisable, and the palettes have been tweaked to hell and back to ensure ease of differentiation and colourblind support (21
shades! that is hell of redundant - I try to reduce the use of some of them so there would only be about 15 used in the dungeon, the rest can be spell gradient colouring only). Aesthetically, I'm actually tired of it already from all the testing, but I'm
sure it looks at least decent to the new eyes.
