Text-2-image to parse RTS map tiles (Dune2021)

I know that is a weird topic title, but I have no idea how to clarify...

Basically, I want to reboot an old RTS project I was working on.  It used a 'Dune II - Battle For Arrakis' tileset terrain map format, that stores each tile as an ASCII character, and also automatically forms the terrain sets, as so:-

People charging on itch for free assetts from here

I've been seeing people charge for assets on itch that they have lifted off this site. Here is an example I just found.

I've looked through his profile, and I don't recognize anything the way I did the Zoria tileset, but in less than a month he's posted a bunch of stuff. A few days ago I saw another upload from this site that someone was being charging for. Luckily someone already linked here in the comments.

 

licensing paradox

 

At what point does Theseus 'ship cease to be Theseus' ship? let's take a 3D model. (like this one https://opengameart.org/content/submachine-gun-scorpion-inspired)

render it as 32 * 32 pixels. Is this still the same project, or is it 2 different ones? how should i license a 32 * 32 file? and when does Theseus 'ship cease to be Theseus' ship?

How to download

How do i download a file here?

Thanks

Mini Micro (2021Q2) Game Jam (cash prizes)!

Mini Micro and OGA have always had a close relationship (some OGA art ships with Mini Micro, some art created for Mini Micro is shared here on OGA, and y'all have helped me with encouragement and advice throughout).  So I thought I would share news of the upcoming Mini Micro Game Jam!

I am not happy with this look!

Hello,

We are working on a small open world rpg. It's just a project we like to occupy ourselves in our free time and we are combining assets with homemade objects. 
However we are working on a very small and simple town and I just don't like the look of it in general. But staring at it all the time makes you blind for flaws. So what is the first thing that comes in mind, which you would change if you could. 

Thanks anyway :)

 

 

Attribution for Game Assets

Hello,

I am new to game development and I started using some game assets in my HTML5 games which require attribution. Can someone please tell me where to add the attribution notes/links. Obviously I cannot put attribution in the game itslef because  it will mess up the game. Is it ok to put up a web page on the same website where the games are hosted for attribution and list all the credits.

Thank you in advance.

What editor do y'all use for tileset editing.

I have recently started work on a game, and as I'm new to pixel art I'm wondering what program to use for editing tilesets and creating new tiles. I made a recolor of the tower piece from the main atlas in Piskel, but when I tried to shrink down the tileset to an appropriate size I couldn't figure it out. Got any tips?

Adding Ruffle as a flash player replacement

Hello - just wanted to give you a heads up to let you know that all of your .swf files on your server can still be viewable with:

https://ruffle.rs/#releases

Just download the "self hosted" version of your choice and install it on your server to allow ruffle engine to run. more details about ruffle can be found at their website.

It worked great for ours: https://newheredigitaltoys.xyz/

And it should for you too.
