Good work, but there's a problem: You can't take art that is licensed CC-BY-3.0 (Victims and Villagers), modify it, and then release it as CC-0. You'll need to pick one of the following options:
1) Make this contribution also CC-BY-3.0 with an attirbution line giving credit to the original artists (icedman and Rich_Uncle_Bloodmoney).
2) Remove the art based upon the Victims and Villagers set completely.
3) Split this into two sets, one CC0 with the ART based upon the CC0 Office Space Tileset and one CC-BY-3.0 as in option 1 above.
You should modify your Copyright/Attribution Notice, though. The CC-By license does not require anyone to inform you that they are going to use the graphics before they do so. By marking it as CC-By you already give them permission to use it without having to inform you.
Also, instead of saying "give all credit" it'd be helpful to list what you want the credit to say.
So one obnoxious person posting a rude comment means more people who come to this site can't click links than people who can? And your evidence for this is the conspicious lack of actual evidence for it? Right.
Links are literally the most basic and common user interface element of the web. But I suppose "bikeshedders" are to blame for that.
I can't find any details on the specifics of the license on the campaign page. The thread title here says "public domain." That has a very specific meaning. Perhaps this can be clarified since there is some confusion.
To be honest my main concern is that for a project all about art there's very little there to see. There's no video, and posting one graphic a day to the gallery page means people have to wait until the pledge period is nearly over to even see what they would be getting. There's not even a link to an artist portfolio website or anything. If you want to get crowdfunding you need to think things through better than that.
I think that's to be expected. If you just shrank something from 128x128 (16,384 pixels) to 64x32 (2,048 pixels) that'd be an 87.5% loss of information. But in an isometric projection it cuts the four corners of that grid off and has to fit everything in that little angled diamond shape that remains. At the end you're looking at something like only 6% of the data you started out with.
All I did was open his file up in Inkscape, increase the size of the page so it was big enough to fit all the images, and then resaved it. I think GIMP's vector import gets hung up on the specified page size.
I guess all of those files would have to be resaved to be fully compatible. I don't know if there's some way to make it change all the files at once or automate it, or if some other program could do the same thing. If no one else does it first I can save them all at the bigger size later sometime. If you'd rather not wait, Inkscape is free.
Perhaps the art made a couple of months ago when someone requested something similar will work for you:

These tiles are clearly based upon Kenney's ice world pack: http://opengameart.org/content/platformer-art-ice-world
Kenney's work is CC0, so you are free to adapt the graphics and do not need to give credit, but it's certainly polite to mention it.
Nice graphics. Thanks for posting them here.

Who is on the Internet but can't figure out how to click links? I mean, come on. Something fishy is up there.
Awesome! Love your art style.
