I think you mean CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 not CC-BY-NO-SA 4.0 and as far as I know it is intentional. All licenses allow for commercial use on here which is why it was excluded. I don't think many people would be interested in assets that didn't allow for commercial use.
My only adivce is do not use paypal. Paypal donations are only meant for non-profit organizations. You are not one of those so you run the risk of losing your account and possibly the money you recieve. Taxes will depend on where you live and what you use. Kickstarter and Patreon are pretty much always considered taxable income because the person donating will get something in return for their donation. Gofundme is the only one that I know of that some people mention could be tax free and considered a gift depending on the situation. It's really only a gift though because the people donating expect nothing in return. Another way to look at it are the tips that waiters and waitresses recieve. Those are taxable income. It's going to be hard to prove that the donations you are getting are only a gift and not because people feel donating will yield more free art from you.
And not to be a downer, but I wouldn't expect hardly any money from donations. If you need money you are better off doing work for a job rather than hoping for donations that are still most likely going to be considered income and taxed that same as the job.
So yeah all those kickstarters and indiegogo projects that get a lot of money are heavily taxed due to such a high amount of income in one tax year.
Edit: To clairfy, don't use the paypal donations button/option to get donations directly. Using a paypal account for another site that manages donations would ok.
The red cross on a white background is an international protected symbol and can't be used to symbolize health. You'll have to change it to something else or change the color.
I'm curious what instruments / VST / sound packs you are using? They remind me of Kingdom Hearts for some reason. Even the composition reminds me of it some. It's really well done!
Are all these songs in the demo ones that you are legally allowed to use? It seems you are concerned mostly with promoting your VST, but keep in mind that if you claim the songs in the music file you are sharing to be licensed under CC-BY 4.0 then they absloutely need to be able to be licensed as that. I'm unfamiliar with these songs. Most seem to be from sources you probably can't use.
Yes, they should be safe to use. The poster is refering to a game called Glitch. According to their website the game was not commercially viable so they opted to release the game and assets from the game so that others could use it. You do have to keep en eye open though for copyright violation since this website accepts all submissions from users and then filters them. I always make sure to report anything that I know has copyright violation. Here is the Glitch game the poser is reffering to. https://www.glitchthegame.com/public-domain-game-art/
These look great! :D Glad you found my work useful! I don't know if you saw it but I also uploaded a collection of characters, tiles, items, etc that follow a similar style as the green cap character. It's called "isaiah658's Pixel Pack #1". There might be more useful things in it for your game. It's all licensed as CC0.

Reminds me of techno songs from the 90's. Nicely done!

This reminds me of something you would hear in Kingdom Hearts. Very well done.

The time on the phone in the second picture is 6:66 which is nonexistent. Time to get a new watch. :P
