Included in this pack are 50 FREE high quality epic weapon sprites made in 32x32 resolution, making them viable to fit the RPG Maker requirements, as well as any other low resolution game settings. They are best used as selectable icons for any UI in a fantasy or medieval themed realm, or as interactable assets within the games chosen platform.
The file is in png format, and can be used with the colorful glow setting (more epicness!), or without, the choice is up to you!

These look fantastic!
However, the 'no redistribution for sale' stipulation is essentially unenforceable under the license you've chosen. CC0 allows people to redistribute and/or sell them. I doubt they would make any money since people can just get it here for free instead, but the license still allows resale.
I have marked this as having a license issue for now, just in case you are not ok with that and do not wish to license it this way. If you are ok with people being able to redistribute them or sell them, just let me know. :)
I would favorite this if it didn't have a licensing problem -- please consider dropping the problematic condition as @MedicineStorm says.
Thank you! I have removed the license stipulation, I was just trying to prevent people from selling my file elsewhere, essentially reaping benefit for no work whatsoever. If there is a license that fits these parameters, I would love to know. My apologies for any confusion caused on my part. :)
No problem! Licensing flag lifted.
Unfortunately, OGA does not support any license that forbids the resale of assets. Not because we want others to be able to reap rewards without passing along the generosity, but because forbidding resale makes it legally troublesome for game developers to use the assets (even free/open-source developers). I can explain why that is if you'd like.
However, if you were to license your work as CC-BY or OGA-BY, this requires anyone who uses it to credit you, and- if you request it- they must link back to this page as well. Although that doesn't prevent others from potentially selling this asset, it does make it pretty easy for that person's customers to see they can get it for free instead.
Thank you, favorited :) Very nice work.
As @MedicineStorm says, ideally people won't be able to just take this and sell it without adding something extra, because here it is available for free. To be honest, in today's world people buy things blindly and this can happen -- I myself sell my own models that I post here and in other places completely for free under CC0, and people do buy them.
People sometimes try to limit commercial use in licenses (typical example: CC-BY-NC license), but this almost always means the work can no longer be considered free-as-in-freedom by definition. These works are rejected by the free culture community and cannot be hosted here, on Wikimedia Commons etc.
There are borderline-case licenses, such as the Open Font License, which limit commercial use to some degree (selling the file on its own), but in such a way that can very easily be bypassed (by attaching a dummy file), and so we still consider these works free, although this is very unfortunate, because this is just a "gotcha" restriction which essentially has no meaning (can be trivially bypassed) while causing a bit more trouble and confusion to the users of the work, showing a bit of distrust etc. I personally strongly discourage these licenses.
Now there is a type of license which is both free, and protects the work against shady abuse -- we call it copyleft, and they are available here at OGA (CC-BY-SA, GPL, ...). These licenses require that anyone redistributing your work has to keep it under that license, which states that the work can freely be shared. So a person can take your work and sell it, which is not prohibited, but at the same time they have to offer it for free. However, this then poses a barrier to any commercial use, and so some people are discouraged from reusing such works, and there is a camp of people who oppose copyleft because they say it's simply restrictive.
Finally, once you have published a work under CC0 (this one), you cannot take it back -- CC0 states in its text that you cannot do this. So you can consider a copyleft license for your next work... but if you ask me personally, I am from the people who encourage CC0. I personally publish everything as CC0 and only favorite things under CC0, because these works offer complete freedom to artists, without any asterisks, and I simply ignore anyne potential abusers (I haven't encountered any yet)... they damage their own karma :) Anyway, the choice is yours, and as long as it is a license granting all four essential freedoms, we welcome your contributions.
I scaled these down to actual 32x32 & removed the background & colored outline (please do NOT credit me):
Thanks for sharing this. I used it in my game. Visit my profile page for a link to it.
