Byte Tileset

Byte Tileset is a set of 58 tiles drawn in the pixel art style, where every corner is a staircase of whole pixels and nothing is anti-aliased. It contains a 47-mask autotile set, ground and wall variations, edge and corner pieces, grid-aligned props and an assembled sheet.

A tileset is only a tileset if the tiles actually connect. Most free sets are a folder of squares that look related and line up almost everywhere, and the almost is what costs an afternoon: one edge mask is off by a pixel and the seam shows on every wall in the level.

The outline steps in 4px units and shading is a Bayer dither rather than a gradient, so the set survives being scaled by an integer factor — which is the only way pixel art can be scaled without turning to mush.

Inside that style this is the Byte reading of it: a light interface on a cool bone palette with signal teal accents, built around a single bordered frame, fully rounded pill buttons at 112x36, banded bars divided into 10 segments, and outlined icons on a 24px grid. Those measurements are why two families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

The autotile masks are generated from the same edge geometry rather than drawn one at a time, so a tile and its neighbour share the exact border by construction rather than by care. Ground variations are drawn to be interchangeable at any position, which is what stops a large floor reading as a repeating pattern.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x, so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Byte family, which means this kit and the Byte panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for pixel-art games.
