Now

Lets see if i replace my house textures by red bricks


what you think about that ?

[RedKetchup]

it will be a bit harder to find out a GOOD roof tiles texture... 

but this is the very first attempt ^^ 

Edit: the 3rd screenshot with same texture but a bit more 'lighter'  (less dark)
4th same


impressions ?

[RedKetchup]

here a test with another roof tiles textures (2nd)

[Jonarus_Drakus]

I almost hate to say it, but I don't think the 'light' roof is working... It's a bit TOO bright and clashes with the brick of the walls. How to put it... It looks like there is a bit too much of a 'tone gap' between the dark red of the brick and the light red of the roof...

I'd recommend a deep maroon-brown instead. If it seems a bit 'double dark', then perhaps lighten the bricks up a little instead? 

In any case, its only a suggestion, give it a try and if you don't think it works... Well, this is your work, not mine. I'll be DL-ing regardless (I do so love the existing stone and white-wash look).

ok. gonna check that.

meanwhile.... i did another one ^^ Spanish Red roof tiles

i can say ... for myself... i like that one very much maybe because it reminds me so much ..... Colorful Little House

maybe the screenshot doesnt give alot of credit... but in game .... gives alot of impressions ^^

[RedKetchup]

another test the spanish red tiles but with a toned down color...

[Turis]

I'd pick this one.

hmmm
the (dark) red brick works better with gray roofing, i guess, or a thatched roof (like the barn etc.)
the lighter red roof, will work with a light grey or  yellowish (like sandstone color) bricks

I like:

and the Spanish tiles.

Agree with @Jonarus_Drakus that a browner red works better with Banished style. I like the way the brick houses look with your original roofs, too.

Will be thrilled to download no matter what you decide!

[RedKetchup]

i will continue testing tonight more textures
and we will have to choose 2-3 models

[Bobbi]

Yippee!

[LadyMarmalade]

I like the second textures best too as the others look a little too bright for my taste. Great job though - as always.

[Gatherer]

OMFG!!!  I love that brick texture.

And for the roof I vote for those spanish red tiles with toned down colour.

[Turis]

May I suggest different sizes of houses for different sizes of families? Example, 4X4 for family of five, 2X4-2 floors for family of four, and so on.

Btw, I love your new textures. I was looking for these Spanish roof tiles roofs.

[RedKetchup]

yeah that brick texture is so awesome... that i didnt checked for another one ^^ (even the modified one i made for the chimneys.... looks gorgeous)

about different size.... i cant play alot with that because it would ask to make another set, which i dont think i want to do ^^
but i have maybe an idea (maybe as addon to it or a different icon. i ll talk about it when i ll be there)
