lol...  Who would you credit?  Are the tiles actually allowed to be used? are they rips from another game?

Lets be safe and just say no. :)

Edit: Although, google can be used to find reliable websites that provide tilesets. That would be a better option, cause then you are able to answer the all important questions (seen above) and if you can answer them all, then yea, you are good to go :D

Everything has a source. It's on you to hunt down that source to check if it's able to be used commercially or not.

For example, your first image is from here: http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/595-pack-of-tiles-2-includes-pack-1-25mb/page-4

I repeat...everything was made by somebody!

(If you use google, then click the "visit page" button to find more about the image)

(P.S. The 2nd image contains Celianna's textures)

As long as you credit the people, I think that's fine in a free game.

So of course the hardest part is to found the author name.

Anyway.

First tileset seems to be an edit of Rpg maker XP RTP.

Second tileset is from Celianna, you can found her ressources on this forum.

Well...

Thank you very much... all of you.

There are plenty of free to use resources here on this site. For example, your second link is part of Celianna's tiles which can be found here in the resource section. I strongly encourage you to browse that section and see what is available for your use. I'm on my phone or I would provide links for you.

Wrong - if your google search turns up rips or pirated resources, then it doesn't matter if you credit them or if your game is free or not. All uses of illegal resources are illegal.
If you cannot find the author name, then you can be sure that the resources can't be used, and even if you find the author, you still have to check the terms of use before you can tell wether you can use the resource or not.

Please don't use google to find resources as sometimes you will not find out who the original creator is, and everyone needs to be credited properly. We have our own resource section, and GrandmaDeb has a crazy amount of lists that should cater to your needs.


The first tileset you posted is from RPG Maker XP, formatted into RPG Maker VX/Ace. The second tileset is mine, which can be found here. Yes you can use it non-commercially.

Thank you very much...

my game is a commercial project, so I will paint my own tilesets.

Much appreciated, friends.

Celianna's tilesets can also be used commercially, but you need to PM her and pay a license to use them.


Good luck making your own. I'm a little bit envious of people who can do that :)

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
