well for pc gamers who use gamepads (like me) i would safely say the xbox button layout is most common. it used by the majority of third party "generic" pc gamepads that i have seen / bought / blew out the left stick and had to buy again. green A red B blue X yellow Y. afaik there is no issue with us trademarks either.
i would say switch to those buttons from the same xelu prompt pack and you are probably golden.
i would love to see Nestor become a thing that goes beyond this one cool tileset. not saying you have to do all the work, but alot of us could collab and use your tileset as the kind of base style guide for new tilesets. and cc0 is generous and most useful license imo. you think this would be something you could get behind? like, a cc0 nes-themed lpc? it would be so cool to see my little spur of the moment art challenge evolve to something like that.
this is a lovely tileset. it's not just ot just Zoria though, alot of artwork on here can be mixed if you swap all to unified palette and do some editing. Alot of surt's stuff is like that, very adaptable.
it makes me want to have a crack at trying to come up with a "Nestor chara set" to go with it.
totally agree that music is not pointless, i didn't understand that statement, just didn't want to remark on it. i spose if its irony, then both revenge and music are not pointless, but rather pointed. or do you just not like music?
and i am also disabled, only i haven't got ssi yet. so i am living on $0 a month is my childhood bedroom. i get it dude. i have all sort of mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, etc etc. and on top of that i have a broken spine. my doctor's orders are "no stretching, no bending, no prolonged sitting, standing, walking, no lifting more than 10 pounds." what kind of job am i supposed to get?
i am sorry if i came off as inconsiderate. but it's just like i said, good luck at getting someone else to love your labor of love. noone is gonna make assets for rynosaur land or any of my other projects for me. would i like to have pro artwork and have it be commercially viable? of course. do i have the funding to hire artists to make pro assets? no, of course not. so i hack together art from OGA to make it into something new. i have made shit that is almost unrecognizable as a derivative, unless you compare sprite to sprite and zoom in to analyze animation patterns and proportions. and i am no natural artist. i wanted to do something so i did it. and i have to take a break every hour or 2 to lay down so my back can decompress or the pain makes me want to kill myself.
life sucks for alot of us, i wasn't and am not trying to be a jerk. my style is caustic, that's just me. i honestly wished you good luck at getting someone to love your labor of love. i still wish you good luck. it wasn't meant as sarcasm.
as far as "you want free stuff" that is plain english. you want something that doesn't cost you anything because you can't afford to pay for it. i get it, i am in the same boat. i offered you a viable alternative based on my exact experience with being your shoes like, literally the same shoes: disability, no money, creative drive to make something you give a crap about. good luck at getting someone else to give a crap about it as much as you do. i know that sounds like sarcasm but it's not. that's just how i speak. i mean in all sincerity. good luck!
a good compromise between "i want free stuff" and "i want the art in my game to not be identical to free stuff" is to make heavy modifications to assets. so long as the assets you are modify are cc0, oga-by or cc-by you are not required to share your derivatives, only give credit to where you got the original and who made it.
of course sharing your derivs is a good thing to do anyways, as oga is a community kinda centered around sharing stuff.
good luck at getting other people to love your labor of love.

i'll get cracking. in my head i envision final fantasy 1 ish character proportions. we'll see what comes out of my head once i blow it open.
palette is nestopia, right?

the nescolor monsters go with vampire huntress? your jam entry is gonna rock.
that is so utterly awesome. just fantastic capture of the feel of castlevania 1-3 on nes, but with even more.... feeling? than the original.
this went straight to "one of my favorite oga submissions ever" list.
killer work.
i am all out of adjectives.
it just kinda jumped into my head that i could do this and noone would stop me :)
i'll think of another one with a theme or something
