Snowy Basic Dwellings (Peasant, Archer, Goblin, Dwarf)

[Mr-Magonus]

Preliminary checks

• I've checked that there aren't other open issues on the same topic.

Describe the problem requiring a solution

These four common dwellings (peasant, archer, goblin, dwarf) have no sprite appropriate for snow, even though all buildings are thematically appropriate for snow (being roofed homes).

Describe the possible solution

Attached is a .zip file containing each snowy dwelling sprite. The same shadows & smoke sprites from the objnmult (peasant) and objngra2 (archer, goblin, dwarf) folders can apply seamlessly here. As far as I know, only the following offsets are required:

035_snow [peasant hut]: shadows should be shifted -1 pixel to the left.
084_snow [archer hut]: shadows should be shifted -1 pixel to the left.
092_snow [goblin hut]: shadows should be shifted +1 pixel downward.
114_snow [dwarf cottage]: smoke sprites should be shifted +4 pixels to the right, and +2 pixels downward.

Other adjustments may required but should be no more than 1 or 2 pixels, I believe. Transparency and shadow index colors are identical to their originals. File number is identical to the original file number in their respective folders, for you convenience.

All assets are original and no copypaste was involved (unless you consider framing for correct dimensions to be "copypaste"). Minor palette liberties taken for disambiguation (dark brown > dark orange, in some cases) and bounce lighting from snow.

Looks good.

However, I think you should use the color white for the icicle on the edge of the rooftops. The cyan color is not very visible except for the archer hut, and all the other snow covered objects have their icicles in white as well.

[Mr-Magonus]

Thanks. And true... though the icicles here exist less as noteworthy icicles, and more for color between the roof and siding.

Nice, winter time building with chimneys would look better with smoke animation it would also add something for the eye to see, white on white sort of makes everything looks the same. Ofcourse its natural because its a snowy landscape, but then some animations would make the buildings stick out a little more for visibilitys sake?

[Mr-Magonus]

I didn't add animations for the mockup image, but yes, most should have smoke like the non-snow objects.
