The best option is to recolor the Time Fantasy tiles to match the modern style. The tile size is based on the same 16x16 grid, so they will fit just fine, but only need the color improvements to match. thanks!

Yes the Time Fantasy and Elements are different styles, for the characters at least they aren't meant to work together.

You can mix the new Elements tiles with the old TF characters because they use the same tile-base-size and recoloring them to match is fairly straightforward. I've written a guide on how to match the colors here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/matching-tf-to-78045454

Hopefully that helps. thanks!

The next Elements release will be a tileset expansion, and then after that: the next character parts xpac with a focus on weapons and tools (it's a popular request, you are not alone!) I am hoping to have the tileset for our spring release and then the next character expansion this summer. Thanks

First core set has hats, helmets and hoods. This one (expansion 1) does have crowns and tiaras. It also has a dragon-knight helmet and a wizard hat. 

The next set has some hats done but not published yet; but I like the Jester hat suggestion and I'll put it on the list. Thanks!

Thanks for reminding me (this reply if also for anybody else who has the same issue):

We did update the generator to support mac OS, but it doesn't on every machine. From what I understand, it's possible that it has to do with some hardware compatibility layer, but we'd need more information.  Please email or dm me with the details about your specific problem and it could be helpful.

Hopefully we can solve it, and when we do I'll edit this post.

For now we might have to say that the primary platform is windows and not all macs are guaranteed to be supported. 

Thanks

You can layer both if you use an image editor, but there's naturally some limitations when we use the generator. thanks!

I believe it was solved with an update, but it might be causing problems still-- since I can't test on a mac myself, it's hard to say for sure. I'll pass the message onto the programmer, thank you!

I've released some 4-dir action animations for Time Fantasy on patreon, but the set is too big to support that for the overall series. For now Elements will support four-directional combat and Time Fantasy will remain primarily intended for side-view RPGs.

thanks! And yes, I'm currently working on the monster expansion! There's already some of them available for patrons. Thank you :)

Don't have any plans to work with higher res, as I'm gonna be focused on stuff that's compatible to expand my ongoing series for the foreseeable future. Thanks!

Unfortunately, at least using the default generator, that won't work because the way the modular pieces are put together: all of the characters are the same height. However, you're welcome to manually edit them to create whatever you need, you might be able to make shorter characters by changing layer positions in an image editor like photoshop. Thanks!

From my understanding all you have to do is copy the resources over from one to the other.
