most awesome entry of the lpc for me.

Without this entry, it would be impossible for us to develop the game we wanted to. Thanks alot. I just saw the longsword in the expansion. It looks awesome. If you need an idea for future expansion, you may consider completing animations for skeletons (bow and thrust). We are considering skeletons as second race, which we probably will add after the LPC. Also skeletal archers will look cool.

Thanks for still taking the time to make your entry even awesomer..der..er!

I wish I could favourite once more ;)

Simply incredible. A build your own sprite pack. This is the best LPC entry I have seen so far. Did you make these yourself, because I would love to use these. If I would ask anything more for this pack it would be something like an orc, for more species variety. Please get back to me. Love the pack.

Thanks a ton, this stuff went VERY far in Polymorphable.  Also, nice to see the uncropped versions in the expansion pack - I've been adapting your work to female sprites with more-or-less good results (the leather armor looks a little strange).  

Hey, I dont know if will do this but I've registered to ask, and to thank you for this pack.(you seem to from comments below)

But im trying to use this in a 2d-side scroller and unlike top-down ones charecters are usually supposed to be able to jump. I have been wondering if you could add jump animations ?  

Typically, goodbyeusedworld, I think artists like to have a little more information about what you need.  There's a set of guidelines here:  http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/how-and-when-to-write-a-good-art-request

Do you have a working demo of the game yet (even if the art looks horrible)?  Is there a particular style you're looking for?  Is the game itself Open Source?

@makrohn, I'm sorry if I sounded more serious than I should. It is one of the game projects that barely started and nothing is clear yet. I was just needed jump animation for side-scroller type and honestly, thats all there is no style since style is just same as that charecters(human-body and skeleton-body in this pack) You see, this isnt "its definely going to get finished and will rock your world"(it will at least get finished in some form tho.) so I suppose you guys are free to ignore me.

My favorite LPC entry by far; these are terrific.

Could i use the sprites in my game if i give you credit?

First of all, my greatest respect wulax, these are amazing artworks, especially the animations. Thank you for sharing them!

About the licences: Do I understand this correctly - if I were to use these graphics in a game, I would be obliged to publish the source code of said game?

My reason for asking is, I am working on a game right now, in my spare time. Though I very much doubt it will ever be published (not to even mention earn money), I would like to know: Is there any chance of aquiring your graphics for use in a closed-source product?

@majify: I don't think wulax is allowed to allow that, with these characters. They're derivatives of the actual LPC characters, which means that they must comply with the original license requirements.

@majiy: you dont have to open up your code. Only graphics that are bundled with this one should be licensed using CC-BY-SA. There is an on going debate whether graphics in a game is a collection or not. If they are, SA will not affect other graphics in the collection. However, nothing is clear on this. If you want to be sure, share other graphics using CC-BY-SA and you would be fine.

@cemkalyoncu: Are you sure about this? The FAQ (here: http://opengameart.org/content/faq ) say about CCSA: "[...]you will be required to distribute the source code, and your users will be allowed to distribute it as well."

And the sum-up of the CCSA license (here: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ ) says "If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one."

Is "include a graphic in a game" not a case of "build upon this work"? It seemed to be so obviously the case to me, that it didn´t even occur to me that it might not be. I tried to google this, but this seems far from clear, there seems to be an ongoing discussion. Is there any definite information about this?

@majiy: Game code and game graphics are not bound together and considered separate. In most interepretations CC-BY-SA requires you to distribute all your graphic assets freely. Not the code. The most logical interpretation here is your game is consuming the resources, its not an alteration or its not something build upon the graphics. After all, its not an art resource anyway.

On a different debate, graphics in a game is considered as a collection (which is logical), therefore, every single asset can be governed by a different license. You still need to distribute any altered versions of the image in question with CC-BY-SA license and you should make it available. Also your game should contain CC-BY-SA resource author and a link to download the (modified) resource freely. 

Even if "include a graphic in a game" was a case of "build upon this work", there's still no requirement to release the source - there's nothing in CC BY-SA that says one must release source code, or anything about source code at all.

It's also worth noting that "same or similar license" is defined as being either CC BY-SA 3.0 or later, or a "Creative Commons Compatible License", defined at http://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses . However, that page says "Please note that to date, Creative Commons has not approved any licenses for compatibility"!

So the "similar" bit is irrelevant at the moment, and certainly doesn't include options like the GPL. If CC BY-SA did apply to the game to, then the only way to use CC BY-SA art would be to also release the game as CC BY-SA. Which would mean GPL games using it would be in violation just as much as a closed source one...

I know what the OGA FAQ says - but I disagree with it; I can't see any justification in the licence for those claims (either that source must be released, or that the GPL counts as a similar licence - it doesn't, as there are currently no "similar" licences).

I think in practice, most people assume that CC BY-SA doesn't apply to the game - or if it does, many Open Source uses are also in violation, and CC BY-SA is next to useless as a licence (at least, as far as game development is concerned).

truly amazing work. I love how it is setup in Gimp. Could anyone point a complete art noob to a tutorial on setting up Gimp like this? 

I made a short sword based on your dagger, found here:

http://opengameart.org/content/lpc-short-sword

I want to post my short sword as CC-BY but you have your stuff listed as CC-BY-SA. Would you be willing to let me use your work as CC-BY provided I credit you and require you to be included in any works that use my work?

Thanks.

Not a problem, I understand the reasoning. I've updated my description to reflect the LPC licensing requirements so people understand why it is that way. Thanks!

I might try to add a motion blur to my short sword, that's a good idea. I don't know if I could do your dagger justice though.

Hi there.

Currently using these sprites for PyORPG (LINK REMOVED). They're great!

@wulax, the author of the original character assets (Redshrike) has agreed to make them available under CC-BY. Here's the forum thread; search for "give permission". So you're free to consider releasing your set under CC-BY if you wish.

From that same forum post, it sounds like CC-BY would open the possibility of using your artwork in iOS games.

Hello!

I used this in my android game UpsideDown. Please check it out on play store.

All the attributions are in Credits section.

If you like the game, please leave me 5 stars :)

Dude i just create an account to tell you that this Pack IS AWESOME!!!! great work!! it will be good if u create something like map tiles :3

Try these links: http://opengameart.org/content/liberated-pixel-cup-0

http://opengameart.org/content/lpc-compatible-terraintiles

Wulax, should I attribute you as Johannes Sjölund?

Reworked the robes a little to use as an outfit in Stendhal:

Thank you wulax. :)

Still the best! Love your work.

Can I Use This In Commercial Use?

@FreedomCrusade: All works on OpenGameArt.org can be used commercially as long as you abide by the restrictions of the license. Here is a quick breakdown of the CC/OGA licenses (I am not a professional on the subject & suggest you read the summary in the links for each):

Note: You can also get to these summaries by clicking the icons for each license under the "License(s)" section of the submission.

• CC0
• Author has revoked all rights to the work. You can use, modify, & redistribute it for essentially any purpose, even without giving credit to the author.
• CC BY 3.0
• CC BY 4.0
• Works can be used, modifed, & redistributed for essentially any purpose. Author retains rights to work & must be credited/attributed. Author can require additional stipulations such as requiring user to link back to OGA.
• OGA BY 3.0
• Essentially the same as CC BY, but removes a restriction on using works within DRM projects.
• CC BY-SA 3.0
• CC BY-SA 4.0
• The most restrictive of the CC licenses allowed on OGA. Same stipulations as CC BY, but any usage, redistribution, or modification must be under the same or a compatible license. Similar to the restrictions of the GPL.

Edit: Anyone with corrections, please comment.

Thx for the quick reply. Quick question would i leave @wulax credit, or original creator of lpc, and or both

The description states that there is a README file included in the download that has more information in it. My guess is that it would depend on what all you used. I believe that wulax created the outfits. So it may be that if you just use the outfit you only need to credit wulax. If you use the sprite bases as well, you would need to credit the author of those. But, I'm not 100% sure on that. Best to look through the README.

AWESOME!!! THANKS!!!

Thank you very much brother for this great contribution, I am just starting in this world of video game creation and I am passionate about this type of art. Thanks to creators like you, I have the opportunity to learn with incredibly cool materials ...

I hope that tomorrow will count as attribution, your name in the credits of my project, and with pleasure I will attach a link to your page.

Greetings and a big hug from Argentina!

i love it ♥ 

maybe i can use it in my next pc game

Hello I'm using this for my game, I'll let you know as soon as it's done so you can take a look at it. I just can't find the animation for walking with the sword. jaja

Hi there,

This is a pretty good art work here. The only downside i noticed is the weapon holding hand is switching.
Example slashing with sword on X direction, the sword is held in right hand, and in Y direction the sword is held in left hand. Same with bow. :(
I saw this issue with many sprite sheets. Beside this i like it. I was searching for something like this to have a placeholder in my game for testing different character and monster animations.

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Probably a very noob question, but is there a straight forward way to animate these sprites through Unity, or does it require building every character up for each piece of animation?
