OK, an update! I added 3 mushrooms, jackfruit, breadfruit, papaya, pecans, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, and cashews! I also added a few more little squash (including the pan patty!) Now there's only two slots left...
I'll have to experiment with the fruit on the tree, but to look good they probably need to be partially covered by the leaves?
As for the trees... maybe at some point. The tree fruits I would be inclined to just reuse some existing trees for the most part, just making an overlay with the fruits, maybe with 1 or 2 stages of ripening. For the other stuff that grows on bushes/plants or vines/trellises, initially I wanted to make growing plant versions of everything. I did it for some of them, but I was just kinda copying and pasting stuff from daneeklu's set and it didn't look very good. The plants take a little more research and creativity to do right so they actually look different. I guess I would feel more motivated if I knew someone was specifically working on a farming sim type game and would have use for all those sprites :p
Cool ideas! What kind of edible flowers are common? I'll do the nuts; jackfruit and breadfruit are pretty different from anything else, but similar to each other, so should be easy. I feel like asian pears look too much like apples... same with quince (vs pears), although I guess I could make some more colors of pears. Purple cabbage is there already (under red cabbage)!
To this end, one project which has ballooned in scope, almost to the point of an unhealthy obsesion, is drawing some food items, starting with fruits and veggies. Again, the goal is not just to create items for inventory (although ideally they'd be usable for that too), but stuff that could appear as decorations on the map. I started out with Joshua Taylor's fruit and veggie inventory items https://opengameart.org/content/fruit-and-veggie-inventory , resizing and in many cases redrawing them to be more in line with the LPC style. Then I arranged each one in a few quantities and combined with Daniel Eddeland's classic farming set: https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-farming-tilesets-magic-animations-an... .
Then I started playing Stardew Valley, and things got a little out of hand...
There are currently 83 different fruits and vegetable sprites---including a few duplicates from the two original sets that I kept because I liked them both, some recolors for common variants, some that I made from scratch or remixed from others, and a few mystery fruits from Joshua Taylor's original set (if anybody can identify them I'd appreciate it, but I think they're made up).
It's actually been kind of fun and forced me to experiment with more colors; I've tried to keep a somewhat limited pallette, and some may disagree with the choice of some more saturated reds and yellows than the LPC palette contains, but I tried to compromise between palette purity and nice, appealing-looking produce.
Anyway, there's a few more empty spaces, but I'm forcing myself to stop after 3 rows = 96 sprites... I'm open to suggestions for what to put there. I thought about doing grains/cereals like wheat, amaranth, rice, etc., but I didn't think they looked that different from one another. I also thought about more leafy greens, like chard, collards, endives, etc. Finally, even though edible mushrooms aren't really fruits or veggies, they probably won't get their own set, so they probably belong here...
Here's the list of sprites at present---left to right, top to bottom:
A related goal I have is to put together some knick-nacks or "clutter" objects to sit on top of the various furniture, both inside and outside. I'm thinking of theming these sets around rooms or trade; for instance, study/library, kitchen/dining, merchant, smith, tailor, scientist/chemist/alchemist/pharmacist, baker, etc. Let me know if you have ideas for these themes!
Hi all, it's been a while; I submitted a few things, which anyone who cares probably saw: furniture https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-upholstery and upholstery https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-upholstery . Still need to go back and make a preview for those, but I was hoping to put together some indoor walls/floors first. Here's where I am with that... I'm not really satisfied with either yet, so if anybody has any suggestions, I'd be open to it. I also want to go back and do recolors on the full upholstery set, and maybe a few more for the wood (at least white paint).
Dragonfruit is in there already (next to pineapple). But plums are a good idea!

Oh,well great haha!! Any ideas for what to put in the blank spaces?
Thanks MedicineStorm! You hadn't even seen the real craziness yet :p

Glad to have you back, but sad to hear about your health :(
Hopefully you'll enjoy checking out what's new in the LPC collection https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-collection , and you might appreciate that others are also working on improvements to LPC character creators: https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/lpc-updated-spritesheet-generator .
Hey, you're back!!
