Pixel Hex Battle Tileset

Pixel Hex Battle Tileset

Please note: This tileset is in early access. This means it is incomplete or missing large portions of the final project. If you buy it while in active development, it will be cheaper and you'll have access to all the content that gets released for it in the future. 

I'd like to introduce you to  Pixel Hex Battle Tileset, a hex battlefield set where people can create their own battle maps and populate it with player and creature tokens. It's primarily for use in your own table top roleplaying adventures (think D&D, GURPS, Troika, etc). However, it will also be available as a separate commercial tier for interested video game developers in the future.

Some of the tiles in this set are theoretically compatible with my other pixel hex tilesets, but most content in this pack is specifically created for small scale fantasy battles. If you want to mix and match, by all means.

These are image files only! Use your favorite hex tile program, virtual table top, or photo editing software to create your own wonderful worlds! Tiled, HexKit, Roll20, and others support hex tiles.

Suggestions

I've set up a forum thread for the tileset on the bottom of the store page if you'd like to suggest specific tiles or characters. Please post there for help, questions, or comments.

How To Use These Sweet, Sweet Files: 

Unzip the folder using any common unzip program (7zip, winrar, etc). Import the folder into the application or virtual table top you plan to use.

Virtual Table Tops: Some VTTs like Roll20 support hex tiles, although you may need to tweak the settings. Import the tiles and make sure the hexes are as close to 84x96 pixels as possible.

Hex Kit:  Pixel Hex Battle Tileset is compatible with Hex Kit 2.0, which supports flat topped hex tiles. The Pixel Hex Battle Tileset sorted zip file has all the tiles presorted in folders and is ready for import into Hex Kit. Import the main folder using the import tool on HexKit. Please note tiles may appear outside of the boundary but that's because some tiles have art extending over the hex border.

Note: I do not use Hex Kit, and the creator has gone AWOL, so please don't ask me questions about it if that's you're tool of choice.

For Tiled and other map programs:

If your tile program supports folder organization, download the sorted file. Otherwise, Pixel Hex  Battle Tileset contains all the tiles in one convenient folder. 

The images are saved as 96x96 pixels to allow for objects outside the hex boundary, but should be treated as 84x96 pixel images for the sake of hex sizing. Import the images and use the following settings:

• Size: 84x96 pixels
• Hex Alignment: Horizontal
• Tile Side Length: 48 pixels
• Render Order: Right down
• Offset: None (These are perfectly aligned pixel hexes)

Photoshop or Image Editors:

If you are bold enough to hand select and place individual hex tiles, then more power to you! Just make sure to create a large enough canvas.
