These iso graphics kick butt!
Not only that they look good and add a realistic 3d-effect,
they offer much more "creative freedom" in size and shape.

I would be interested to know the size of one diamond-shaped
background tile. And how are multipart-images handled?

I will try to help porting/creating images for this set,
as far as my scedule allows.
