Yeah like definitely the polygon count stopped being an issue and everyone started to use many polygons nowadays and the term low-poly -- originally truly meaning very few polygons -- took on a new meaning that signifies more of an aesthetic choice (no textures, no smoothing etc.) rather than some quantitative metric like polygon count. I wouldn't mind the term evolving, however what term do we now use for the original meaning? Because the original meaning is still relevant, it is still at least a valid aesthetic choice to go for a look with very rough and sharp shapes (I for one really prefer e.g. the look of original Warcraft III before the remake), just as pixel art is still valid in the era of high resolution. So there's quite ome confusion unfortunately.
It's pretty amazing but... not sure I'd call these low poly, it seems like they have really many many polygons xD But yeah, the single material, no texture is kinda what like you see in low poly games.
I am loving this for many reasons... not only are these items beautiful and CC0, but there's already a lot of consistent art in this style by you in the form of collections, that's very valuable. Collections are great as they're consistent artistically, in file format, are easy to download, track, credit and so on. Keep it up.

beautiful
I extremely much like the attitude of your posts, just small and simple no-PBR no-HD good old textures, plus CC0, becautiful. We need more of these.
> Sick of all the cartoony graphics?
Yes TBH :) I love to see this beautiful oldschool look again. May I ask where the textures are from?
Interesting, haven't seen many similar posts :) Freedoom is one of my favorite games. Is this going to be included in the official backstory?
