Retro Cybercity Streets Tileset

At last! I'm sorry for the delay in releasing this pack, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out and I think it, alongside the character pack and interior pack, means users will have enough assets to really start making diverse maps! I hope to see some!

This pack is an exterior street pack and includes what you need to make vibrant urban cyberpunk street scenes!

This asset pack is for creators who are looking to try a cyberpunk or futuristic scifi aesthetic that takes cues from the analog era of the 1980s and 90s. Think Blade Runner or Ready Player One with an SNES/SEGA Genesis style color palette.

It includes tiles and objects in an "urban streets" theme reminiscent of run down city districts in a cyberpunk setting. There are alternative versions of many of the objects and tiles included so that you have creative freedom with building environments as you wish. These assets can certainly be used beyond a cyberpunk or urban streets theme for building out maps and environments. The pack is top-down perspective and scaled at 16x16. With some tweaking, it can be used in various game development engines, including Unity and RPGmaker. The pack uses the palette BLKNX64 by @blkirl.

Special Notice

Users of my other two packs may note that I have not included the huge assortment of variant formats (size and with a background color vs. transparent). One of the reasons is how time-consuming and fiddly the process of creating those extra options are. It's easy to make mistakes and difficult to organize and name so many variants when I'm not even sure people are going to use them. Instead of including them, I will instead offer instructions on how to resize these using GIMP 2.0, Photoshop, Aseprite, or other graphic design software.

Look for that near the bottom of this section under Download and Install Instructions.

What Does It Include?

This pack includes:

  • Variety of ground, building, roof, and wall tiles for exterior scenes.
  • Specialty tiles for exterior appliances such as satellite dishes, panels, and more.
  • Dozens of objects and props with variants, including over 20 unique signs in 3 orientations.
  • Bonus Cybercar as an early tease for a Vehicle Pack to come later.

Will There be Updates?

I worked pretty hard to make sure this one was as complete as possible, but I can't say I won't sneak some updates in there. If folks have suggestions and they are easy to add, I will update this pack to include them. Same with any errors or wonky stuff that I didn't catch.

But generally, this pack is complete as is.

UPDATE 1:

Due to a cropping error I missed, there were some missing elements in the Objects/Props part of the pack. I have fixed this and you will now see awnings, doors, and posters that weren't included when I launched. Sorry for any inconvenience!

UPDATE 2:

BONUS car sprite sheet now added. Sorry that it wasn't there before, it was an oversight!

UPDATE 3:

Added a few light touch-ups to the BONUS car sprite. Wasn't entirely happy with some of the boxy shaping, so tapered the windshields in the front/rear sprites.

This looks so cool! is the vehicle pack still coming?

(+1)

Haha yeah. It is like the white whale of this theme. I crack away at it every so often but I’m never satisfied. Right now, I could release it with only a couple of car variants and some mech suits but I really want it to be worthwhile on release.

More people ask, faster I’ll do it. Anything in particular you’re hoping to see?

Ooh a mech suit :) well mostly a few regular cars and an armored vehicle that say dystopian police forces would use.

 What is this piece meant to be for? 

The ones with the dashed and dotted double lines.  Are they meant to be the edges of roads like painted lines or?

(+1)

Do you mean in the tiles, not props? There are “sidewalk” tiles with bright blue dashes and dotted lines, these are just meant to be fancy sidewalk “tech” like lighting or to suggest networking running through everything.

There are also road-paint tiles that are either weathered (chipped, broken up) or clean (no breaks, just clean lines) that are meant for roads, yes.

I probably should have included the sidewalk tiles as part of a mockup to demonstrate their purpose more clearly but I hope this answers your question!

Yes, it does, thanks!!

Cheers!

I like the pack, any more shadowrun type stuff you do, I'll pick up later.

I will for sure be doing more. I have the beginnings of a “Dock” area pack, a vehicle pack (incl. mechs), and more. It’s always tough to decide how much to include, how to break things down so they don’t get out of hand, etc.

Glad you like it! Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

I like your pack very much. 

Thank you so much, that’s really gratifying to hear. Any additions you’d like to see or even entirely new packs in this theme that you think would be cool?

I have a new pack series in the works and the first parts of it are coming out tomorrow. It’s a fantasy pack based on Norse mythology and the first bundle will have a character pack (24 characters w/ walk cycles) and an outdoor tileset with a village theme. Stay on the lookout as the style is similar to this, just a different palette and aesthetic. A clever creator could easily blend the packs to make something really out there.

But that said, I’ll definitely be adding more to the Retro Cyberpunk series as well. I have several packs on the go with that, including an item icon pack, a “docks” themed pack, a vehicle pack, and more. I wanna eventually get to a one release a month schedule, but right now it’s more like a couple of packs at the same time, every 4-6 months. Haha. I’ll get faster.

I am so touched to hear this, I am a fan of cyberpunk and love all the works on this theme, your work is very good, I like it very much, will keep following you

Thanks!
