~ These graphics were made for a request on the Knytt forums. Someone was making a game involving a yellow submarine. This someone wanted a graphics set with the look of “An Underwater Adventure”, a Knytt Stories level by Nifflas, to construct their submarine. I loved the feel of that level, so I wanted to see if I could imitate it without ripping it off.

~ My end result was rather good I think. The originals by Nifflas had dark contact areas and light or pitch-black backgrounds. It was very mysterious and cold. Since mine had to be yellow, I settled on a medium darkness for my contact areas. This allowed the interiors to be very bright or very dark. One thing I don’t love are the eye-sering visuals of The Yellow Submarine movie. As a result the yellows in my tileset were muted. Now, I had to consider that the game designer requesting the graphics probably intended to homage the movie in some way. So, in an attempt to stay true to the movie’s visual assault, I added alternate purple interiors.

~ As far as submarines go, the graphics are a bit lacking. Submarines should have curved exteriors to help navigate the ocean currents and resist crushing pressure. A curved shell would put a huge demand on tileset real-estate. Also, I wanted to make the set a little bit multipurposed. There’s no sense doing all this work for free if it can only be used for one game in a limited way. Finally in that spirit, I made a matching rust colored set. It’s always helpful to have a little graphical diversity yet matching style when building a game.

These graphics may be used, edited, or borrowed for Knytt Stories levels. Credit is required.

Ooh! It’s yellow and it’s in the water. Notice the rivets, It uses a two-layered ground design technique.

A hero needs a way to get to and from waterborne monstrosities. Especially since most adventurers can’t swim.

I hope it doesn’t rust through! This is the red version. The distant objects are semitransparent to help show that some of the water between here and there is in front of them.

It sounded like fun, so I made this today. I swear I only looked at Nifflas' restricted set once or twice, and I definitely did not copy and paste anything. I hereby release this tileset for public Knytt Stories use, modification, and borrowing. So, don't be upset if someone else uses it first.

Notes: There is a radar screen designed to work with Bank 8 Object 13 by the boat. The boat can be larger by repeating the center tile. The back ground pieces are semi-transparent, not to be used with patterned gradients. I designed it so that tiles in the upper left are on layer 3, the broken girders also go on layer 3. I included interior tiles in 4 colors. You can see how the transitions are meant to work at the right of the sample picture.

If you don't like it that's fine. I admire the look of An Underwater Adventure, and I wanted to see if I could imitate it without copying it.

Knytt Stories Level: egomassive - The Dying Core

I took the liberty of including other color variants of the submarine tilesets from the level The Dying Core, since they are all KS edit/use OK
I included also the gradients from this level.
