I went on a mission to turn the juiciest art from surt's Space Merc into some actual tile sheets.

I wound up making a ton of edits and additions, and importing bits and pieces from surt's other work - mostly from the CC0 thread, but also from Omega Team, Beast Soldier, DarkNES, and Mines of Sharega.

I also laid the tiles out as 16x16 tiles, instead of 8x8 as surt originally designed them.

The backgrounds aren't in this sub - one of them is already in my subs (only the palette has changed slightly here), and the other two will be in a separate sub soon.

Here's the version of the Space Desert background used in the mock-ups on this sub. This is OGA-BY 3.0.

This looks even better than Turrican essets. This is great! Surt and Emcee Flesher - you are the best :-)

Here's an explosion sheet that you can use with it.

The main explosion is just a recolour of JRob774's very pretty explosion (CC-BY 3.0).

The small ones are new, and intended for bullet impacts.

i don't think it's quite what you were thinking when you asked someone to "make a map with this stuff" but it turned out kinda nifty i think.

Oh, interesting! Looks like a more cuboid Minecraft-style sort of build would probably suit this way of using them.

I'm using these assets in not one but two games... a Metroid-esque platformer and a tate shooter. Credit is given in both games.
