• Lights: a stone lantern, a snow-viewing lantern and a red lantern post, unlit and lit in 4 frames.
• Water: a hot spring with rising steam, koi with lily pads, stepping stones, a red arched bridge and a plank bridge.
• Fences: a bamboo fence and a white plaster wall with a tiled cap, 16 joins each; falling petals in 4 frames over any cell.

Made to drop in

• isometric.json gives every sprite's size, footprint, anchor, facing, frame, joins and shadow, and how to place and order them.
• Every lit piece has the same size and anchor as its unlit piece, so day and night swap cleanly.
• Single PNGs and sheets at 1x, 2x and 3x, plus the palette (.hex, .gpl). Shadows are separate sprites, never baked in.
• It shares the grid of Gridwright Isometric Tiles, Characters and Animals (each sold separately), and works in the Gridwright Isometric Builder.

What it does not include

No characters (see Isometric Characters and Isometric City People), no house interiors, no sound. The buildings are original, generic designs, not copies of real landmarks or of any game. The art is drawn at 1x; the 2x and 3x files are scaled copies.
