Desert dunes background (looping, 8 colours, 16 bit)
Continuing a minor obsession with desert planets, for which I blame the second stage of Psycho-Nics Oscar.
This background is based on one of the Lorestrome backgrounds extracted and patched up by ElizaWy (link below). Unfortunately that submission is BY-SA, so this one has to be too.
This time I attempted to constrain the colours to true 16-bit, which I don't usually. However I later realised that I got it wrong and they aren't quite accurate, which reminds me of why I don't usually bother. So you'll have to do a bit of additional playing with the colours if you want true 16-bit 5-6-5 RGB.
Ideal credit as far as I'm concerned is the URL of this page. "Emcee Flesher on OpenGameArt" would be fine also as google should have no trouble linking that here. I have no idea what you should do with the attribution from ElizaWy's version.

Nice!
If this is based on a cc-by-sa work, then 'ideal credit' should not be just a link to this page; it should also include the attribution instructions from the submission it is derived from as well.EDIT: Fixed, thanks!
Attribution on ElizaWy's page is this:
Copyright/Attribution Notice:
Original is by Hyptosis, under a CC0 license.
The first BY-SA version attributes only a former CC0 version!
TBH, I have no idea what the best way to credit a BY-SA work really is, as it could wind up being a huge chain of accumulated attributions. A link back here is the best and most concise way I can think of to capture the whole chain.
The best way to credit BY-SA work really is to include the attribution of the asset you're deriving this from. Although a simple link to the original submission would indeed be more concise, it would not be entirely adherent to the terms of the license..
Yes, BY-SA can end up being a huge chain of accumulated attributions. The full list is still requried to be attributed. In this case the original is CC0, which doesn't require attribution, but this wasn't derived from the original CC0, it was derived from BY-SA, which must include all previous credits as well. You could shorten it to something like "Original by Hyptosis, modified by ElizaWy and Emcee Flesher. Source: https://opengameart.org/node/95520" but it still should have the attribution from the asset you derived it from, which mentions Hyptosis. (as you have already done. thanks) ElizaWy was not required to credit Hyptosis, but because she chose to do so, you are required to do so. :)
Looks great. Desert landscapes are always nice to have. Nice work with the palettes too!
