Fig. 2. A more complete example.I think this is the right direction to head. Perhaps small tweaks to initial curve width, and rect distribution. In addition, I should probably clean up all of the little unattached bits. Now to try and figure out what the tiles should look like.

I'm curious to see what you come up with. I've been banging me head for weeks against drawing tiles that actually make it look like a proper cave.

Really nice cave generation.
That map looks very map-like, which is obviously a good thing. I prefer number 1 for the trees.

Took a shot at the underground tiles. It isn't Eigen's style, but that can be fixed. Thoughts?

Nice! Although the walls look a bit too brick like at the moment for a natural cave. Maybe the floor is a bit too dotty at the moment too?

I agree that it is pretty noisy. I'm trying to find a good way to differentiate what is floor and what is wall. I currently have three different floor tiles. Maybe a fourth that is more frequent and more spare?

I'd have the floor more black with small rock / stalagmite details.

Awesome! Dithering is definately key to making it more Pioneers-esque. I'm not sure how to approach the floor though. The details are certainly too large compared to the character sprite. Plus character sprites are mostly black and blue so they kind of disappear. They were drawn to be visible on green. Here's my idea for the palette, as I mentioned I would probably use something with more red in it. The character on the left is the original sprite with the correct colors and it pretty much disappears. Then again, maybe it fits ... lack of lighting and all. The one on the right using different order for the colors but that would mean making another set of sprites just for the caves.

Why not use the dark red for the floor (even if dithered?)

The problem is that your character sprite was made to be displayed on a rather light background. Maybe you could add some sort of halo that would simulate a torch or something. A quick edit:

Yes, that's the ticket! My idea for the torches was to simply cut off the outside areas but this could work too. But I would still stop drawing outside a certain radius because otherwise you don't really explore if you see everything.

Here's my take on the cave lighting. We're now discussing options how to actually render it. No shaders so it will require some manual pixel setting in several passes. Can't wait ...
