16x16 dungeon tileset

A 16x16 dungeon tileset is a stone-hall kit on a 16-pixel grid: floors, walls, pits, doors, and the props that make a crypt or vault feel like a place, not a corridor of repeats.

For a top-down RPG or roguelike, the useful pieces are the ones that let you change direction and height: a wall-top that autotiles around a room, a wall face under that top, a chasm or pit, a door, and a few props that read at a small size (a chest, a torch, a banner, a sarcophagus).

What to include

• Floors that tile in every direction. Flagstone, brick, or a worn path, plus a variant or two so a long hall does not look stamped.
• A wall-top autotile. A 16-piece set (one tile for each combination of N, E, S, and W neighbours) is enough to wrap a room. Place a wall-face tile on the south edge so the wall has a front.
• A pit or chasm autotile if the dungeon should drop away, not just stop at a wall.
• Doors, an arch, or a vault. These are the rooms' punctuation.
• Light and hazards. A torch or brazier (animated if you can), spikes, a lever, a chest. Keep each on a transparent background so they sit on the floor layer.

A short how-to

1. Import the native 16x16 sheet with nearest-neighbour filtering. The import guide covers Godot, Unity, and Tiled.
2. Paint floors, then wall tops, then wall faces along the southern edge of each wall-top run. The sample map in a Harbor Pixels pack shows the pattern.
3. Cut pits after the floor is down, so you can see where a bridge or a ledge should sit.
4. Place doors and props on a layer above the ground. Split tall pieces (_top / _bot) so the top cell sits one tile north.
5. If your game's native tile is 32, 48, or 64 pixels, use the matching upscale folder — those sheets are scaled from the 16x16 originals, not redrawn. See the 32x32 tileset hub.

Where to get one from Harbor Pixels

Lantern Deep is a 16x16 dungeon tileset: 107 named cells, a 16-piece wall-top autotile, a 16-piece chasm autotile, a crypt, traps, treasure, and four animations (torch, brazier, dripping puddle, crystal). It includes 32, 48, and 64 px upscales. Store links are coming soon.

There is not a free dungeon slice yet. To practise the import steps on a free 16x16 sheet, use the free dockside tileset, diner props, or winter sampler. Those packs use the same grid, filtering, and upscale folders.
