Oblique projection: all assets
Oblique projection: all assets
This particular perspective, known best for its appearance in some Ultima installments and in the retro MMO Tibia, is a flavor of oblique projection. Though it has a certain odd look, it allows rather dense packing of information on a screen. I doubt there will be enough assets in this style to justify splitting the collection into tiles and characters, but if necessary it will be done in the future.
If you see something you'd like added, or would like to be a collaborator, just leave a comment.

To be honest, I have no clue about what actually makes something oblique projection. Non the less, I thought this might be of your interest: http://opengameart.org/content/perspective-walls-template.
Thanks for the heads up. I vaguely remembered that one, but hadn't had time to track it down.
It's true that the oblique projection is a bit of an oddball in the gaming, and not seen much today. There's a technical definition, but it's not exciting. It can kind of overlap with isometric; if you rotate these 45 degrees you'll get something isometrish, anyway.
Hey Redshrike, I found another one: http://opengameart.org/content/turfwars-pixel-city-tile-set
Thanks again! I went ahead and added you as a collaborator so you have the power to add any more you see (if there are any). Again, I really appreciate your help on this!
