I'd say that for '1' you want a more uniform/consistent set of tags. Whereas for '2', you very much want to take a more wide open approach.

This would be a 'sub' category field? I do agree that something which presents a standard list of common formats (and palettes?) to submitters would be useful.

amazing! I love how expressive some of those animations are! The lizard hunches down behind his shield! The holy knight rears back behind his shield! and with only 2 frames and 8x8 pixels! incredible! you are a master!
What about a 'standard tags' list with just a bunch of the most common tags in a standard format?
eg: 16x16,32x32,DB16,Tiles,Dungeon,Sprites, etc.
then an box for 'other'
Maybe I missed a FAQ or something, but i have it my head that they're is not a lot of guidance for what to put in the 'tags' field. I think it'd be cool to have a list of common tags that could expand over time.
I think having users up/down vote tags on submissions is a neat idea, but to be honest, I'm not sure how much use it would get.

You can read full text of the CC-BY 3.0 license by clicking on the icon for it (again above in the upper lefthand corner of this page). The short summary is you can use the work however you like, but must credit the original author and may not impose any 'technical measures' which further restrict the distribution of the work (eg.

Yay!! Three cheers for bart!
btw, out of curiousity, did you do this by pressing the big red button?

Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing!
No bright ideas myself, but if you have two extra slots, I'd say you can't go wrong adding two new greys.
Maybe one between: #848c96 and #b7b4ad
and another between #848c96 and #51555f
No plans for the last two color slots?
Beautiful and a perfect show off of your palette! Definitely has that richer more saturated look that's sometimes missing from DB32 stuff.
Great to have you back!
> I think there are two distinct use-cases: to categorise art...and to add key-words
I think this is a pretty good point.
Another way to phrase the same idea would be that tags serve to categorize submissions in two ways:
1) technical specifications ('2D', 'sprite sheet', '16x16', '3D', 'Model', 'texture', 'png', '.blend' etc).
2) subject matter ('dungeon', 'sci-fi', 'town', 'characters', 'vehicles', etc)
I'd say that for '1' you want a more uniform/consistent set of tags. Whereas for '2', you very much want to take a more wide open approach.

Sorry for the late reply and hope that helps!
