Using different styles tilesets.

[CParks]

I'm making a game a currently am calling Pokemon Infinity Tower. I got the idea from the TV show Infinity Train, where basically every different cart on the train feels like it's own random world.

My game has some rogue-lite randomization to it, where each time you play all the floors of the tower could be different. Each floor is going to be handmade, they aren't randomly generated. But everytime you move up a floor, basically there is a bag of routes/towns the game can choose from to send you to next.

I'm wondering if it would be better to keep a consistent style throughout everything, or if it might be cool to see all different kinds of styles.

Ooh, that sounds like a fun setup! I think using different styles of tilesets would honestly add to the effect of going through different worlds, honestly, so I'd encourage it! I would just suggest that you remember to 1) make sure the tilesets are consistent across themselves, unless you're going for something like the Unfinished Car, and 2) maybe include different styles for the player character, so it's not totally jarring when they transfer styles.
