You are available make a donation to ande for new tiles pack?
You mean really Ande (Antti Mannisto) - so that he would design the tiles?...
Or would you prefer the artist Shaun Tsai instead (TS introduction - second picture)?

New "official" tiles might be surely nice, like theme packs...to have them immediately when downloading Turbo Sliders.
(New) trackmakers would not need to take the relative less tiles for their tracks and can design more detailled and different looking tracks, without the necessity to create tiles by theirselves.
Just the download size would be higher - but this might not be that big problem.
Paying money though, i guess, would not be necessary by us - except people would really prefer to have a new big set of tiles very quick (in next TS version).
But so long, concerning this topic, the best could be probably just to collect ideas together which new tile(-types) should be there.

In the end, there would be a list of themes and examples like:

Theme: Western
Tile: Ranch
Tile: Horses
Tile: Saloon
...

Theme: Formula 1
Tile: Pits
Tile: Road
Tile: Spectators
...

Theme: City
Tile: skyscraper
Tile: street/road
Tile: sidewalk/pavement
Tile: streetcars
...

and so on... (and surely there could or should exist not only 1 tile of for example city skyscrapers...so "Tile" is in the most cases meant like TileSet)

i know ande (Antti Mannisto) have buyed the graphic for the new version from artists of jollygood games, i just have talked with him about this and ande answer me it are expensive and the sales of the game do not cover these expenditures.
This can resolve some problems like: nervous download new custm tiles, a little improvement for the makers, surely a push in more to the game and other thing about these new packs.

So, i quote you like theme pack but i prefer some new tiles to help making new theme for new tracks and not a specific theme because for a theme pack not at all can like it, so not all would donate for this new pack.

Concluding, for me a good new tiles pack is a mixage of all theme, yes it can give a limited variety of new tiles but it can satisfy a little everybody.

PS: from the 1.0 i always asked to ande for new city buildings, so for me a CITY THEME can be the best :)

I like that one theme Mike, Formula 1. Race Car theme.

- Grandstands
- Pit Boxes
- Pit Suqares (painted suares in pits to park)
- Spectators
- Flagman Box
- More realistic track tiles. white lines and rumble strips not so wide, and no rumble strips on the outside of a turn.
- Garages (like a house tile, but a race garage)
- "300" "200" "100" marks for the end of straights
- Road tiles with a wall. (for ovals and other things) even just a wall tile that can fit on road tiles
- more things to put on the track surface ("PIT", Grid Lines, more lines with different colors)

these are just some of my ideas. also terrains like Snow and Ice should be made default, and why are some of the tiles not used? like puna walls, they are there but not available, they should be opened.

If we were to make a new set of "official" tiles, it would be free to all registered players. No need for votes like this please! If you want to support Turbo Sliders and reward Antti for his hard work, please promote Turbo Sliders all over the place. Go to web forums, game sites, talk to you friends...

We have a couple of very interesting new promotions starting for Turbo Sliders, which will hopefully make it more popular, and who knows if the time will come for new tile sets some day. But in the meanwhile - help TS and spread the word! ;)

For donating for new tiles atleast I can do, is to provide ideas about tiles.
So, I have created new set of car-tiles. Now with 2 new cars, TS Legend and Pu-R1 and I removed the 0.86b cars from the tileset.
