Im about to make a simple RPG for kids and i need some basic items for the game;
Trees
Medievil house in decent condition(maybe stone house)
A mine entrance
Wood burning stove
Thats all I need thanks to whom ever can fill my request.
You are in the right place, asking for the right things. But you need to give more information or it's going to be hard to help you.
There is already a fair amount of RPG tileset material on OGA. Have you already looked through it? If so, what do you need that isn't provided there?
More specifically:
What medium do you want? I tend to assume pixel art for a top-down RPG, but that might not be what you're after at all.
Assuming pixel art, what resolution do you need? This is probably the most important thing to know right off the bat. Generally people tend to go for 16x16 or 32x32 tiles, and there's already quite a bit of that on OGA.
What do you already have? When you say "house", do you mean interior or exterior tiles? When you say "mine entrance" do you already have floors and walls?
What style are you going for? High color count? Low color count? Cartoony, realistic, somewhere in between?
With the current information given, I wouldn't really know where to start and you'd probably end up with unusable assets.
Sorry for a house I need a exterior house. Something simular to this:

For the mine I need something simular to this pic but I need to to appear as though its goig back into the ground so like a half circle outline plus entrance:

For wood burning stove need something like this:

For Trees I found some allready.
Sizes all need to be around 128x128 except the house. Obviously needs to be biger maybe around 400x400 and maybe the mine needs to be around 250x250 as well. Use your best judgement. Im try to fit it all inside a 800x600 window
Update:
Ok I found a image I think works better. I just need someone to make this more appleaing to children. Maybe a little brighter and cleaner on colors.
Hmm...
The house you posted last is viewed from the front, as it would be in a sidescroller. What perspective are you using? Do you have a clear idea of how you want your game to look and how gameplay should work? If so, it would probably be helpful to mention a few games that you would like it to be like on those fronts. That would be helpful without getting into the more nitty-gritty of stylistic terminology.
This house view is fine, its pretty much how I need it to be viewed but Im hoping for something alot better art wise. This was orginaly taken from FPSC creator useing a model pack I purchased. The model is not bad but I was hoping for a better cartoon house. Ill post a in game screen shot and explain the idea a little better.

Hmm... I still can't really tell the genre, but it almost looks like you're doing an adventure game? This might fit the bill, though: http://opengameart.org/content/side-scrolling-fantasy-themed-game-assets
Thats ahh pretty far off from what i was hoping for. I'm hopping for something more realistic but a little cartoony still. The image you suggested was good but more seemingly for a RPG Maker style of game. I am going for a old school style just not that old school lol
Edit:
Found this and I think it should work I just have to make the house using its tiles.

Open to other peoples house submissions as well if someone wants to post there version using this tile set and get their name in credits.
saw the screenshot, looks nice. Any link where I could download the game (even if its in an alpha level), sourceforge.net, github whatever.
Nothing is ready yet. Im going to put in the fight animation screens sometime with int he next few days. After that I need to build the crafting,armor and trade menus. The crafting menu I suspect will be the only chalenging menu. I dont think armor will be hard to write nor will trade menu. Ill post more as I get more. I still need a nicer house though if someone can make something that would be awsome.
Ok i got a new background but now I need a good house to place in the image. I found this but the view is wrong. Can some one fix this house or suggest a better house? I need one that loks more frontal view if that makes sense
wow and wow, both look nice.
