This is a really good start. Keep this up and you'll be finishing a fantastic building set in no time!

Yeah, I think so too.Jimbow wrote:Your buildings looks better with the new scaling

I see what you mean, and I'm open for reconsidering my planning, as said I'm not very good at it.Jimbow wrote: Regarding your update of the first post, I think the best strategy would be to finish the sprites for the house set first.
If you keep posting beautifull houses, there might be a good chance that a coder will help you coding your sprites so they can be released.
If you are posting sprites for many different kinds of NewGRF sets (houses, stations, trains, industries), chances are that nobody wants to code any of your stuff, because you need quite many sprites to release a complete set. So my advice is to keep focus at one thing at a time.
Regarding your time frames, I think that only a smaller number of people is playing games that start before 1900. By that I mean that you do not need to have a complete town set for 1700-1800 and 1800-1900. It would be fine if you had a complete set with pre 1900 buildings.
When you do have a complete set of pre 1900 buildings, you can start adding more modern buildings, so that new buildings will be added to the city for each centry.
I really like your suggestions, they are very relevant and helpful, please keep them coming.Jimbow wrote: How do you like these ideas?
Of cause it's not my decision what direction your set should go, it's only ment as advice that you can use if you want.
To organize suggestions, I have made a spreadsheet with the house categories and the different time frames listed. My idea is to insert links in the sheet to pictures or other informations about the houses.
