A particular lack of images

The past few posts have been fairly wordy and have had no images, so I'm going to put some pretty pictures in this one.

Tileset Editor, a Step in the Right Direction

John and I decided to start up a set of tutorials on making a tileset editor. It's went fairly well so far, and we are grasping the ideas behind most of the mechanics fairly quickly.

The tutorials begin with a couple tutorials on making a top-down 2D tileset editor in XNA 4.0, then they switch gears to a hex tileset, then finally an isometric tileset. We have reached the end of the top-down 2D tileset tutorials and we decided to try and implement a player and movement. It only took a few attempts and we had a character on screen and we almost have it working the way we want it to.
