I would suggest you get explicit written permission from those involved. Usernames are pseudonyms and thus can fall under the right of publicity.
From the users' perspective, even if they are portrayed respectfully, they may not want to be associated with your project or view the portrayal as endorsement for your project. So permission should be sought in case of trouble down the line.
IANAL but since these images depict trademarks, wouldn't most usages of these images fall foul of trademark law? That is, unless you are making a controller identification utility, you may not want to use the exact image of real controllers?
I'm using this set to make a contra clone, so I made a simple run animation and all the other contra stuff (prone, jump/front-flip). Very rough, but hope they're useful anyway.
I've noticed that there are 6 configurations missing for the tree tiles (Objects/Tree0.png, Objects/Tree1.png), so I've added them here. With these you'll be able to make forests of any shape.
I hope there's an exception for orphaned works; it would be a shame to exclude free-licensed content from OGA simply because the artists are dead! Getting their permission beforehand would be good, but perhaps we can amend that requirement to an attempt to contact them.
Then you should resubmit the game ready ones separately, or better yet extract useful content from the rest. I remember you submitted the whole lot, including the ones that are clearly screenshots and not game ready.

This tool looks really neat; could you release the source code? I would like to play around with it.

@kuldeep600k the license is CC0 so you are not required to do anything to use the music.
But if you want to be nice, you can credit my name or my project webpage, and let me know when your game is complete!
