Thanks for following up on this stuff Cap! Sad to know that there is not much precedent to work off of, but it sounds at least plausible that using CC-BY-SA assets in a game would not immediately constitute a derivative work in ALL cases.
I'm anxious to hear what comes out from your next meeting.
@supermoneylife: Glad you like it! You may want to check out this collection of other sprites built from the same original base character. Also, glad the zip layout works for you.
This will probably sound a lot like spam, but I swear I'm not affiliated with this company at all.
While it's not free, EastWest offers a pretty awesome monthly subscription package called Composer Cloud which includes all of their virtual instruments for $30/month. If you have a .edu email account, you can alternatively get their student package which includes just 7 instrument packs for $15/month. Both subscriptions are month-by-month.
I have played around a lot with different free instrument packs like SSO, GeneralUser, DSK, and Arachno, but frankly the quality you get with these paid ones may be worth it, depending on the kind of music you are trying to create. The biggest thing for me has been having different articulations, so (for instance) flutes can be played with a harder staccato hit, or a softer/airier tone, or an overloaded trill at the start of the note.
So it's not free, but is not too expensive and may be worth it depending on what kind of music you are making.
I would be surprised if a EULA can specifically require end-users to forfeit rights to ever use the licensed assets under alternative licenses.
I suppose that if these services require content creators to give up all rights, or transfer ownership of the assets in exchange for some percentage of proceeds, then the content could not be released CC0. Or if it had already been released CC0 previously, the artist would not be legally able to transfer exclusive rights to the EULA service.
May be relevant to check out Carol Highsmith vs Getty Images. Highsmith is a famous photographer who released images to public domain. Getty of course scooped them up to relicense as stock photos. Their big mistake was sending Highsmith herself a cease and desist order for illegally using images from Getty. Prompted a big lawsuit that recently settled.
Congratulations withthelove! All the entries were great, but I guess Muckety was just a little more... evolved.

Hi all, here is my submission for this challenge. It's full of kind of random-seeming things, but I hope you enjoy it!

GrafxKid's "Classic Hero" should be easy for you to modify to look like your character. It is CC0, so there would be no licensing issues for you.
There are several edits which you may be able to use for inspiration.

Welcome to OGA! It's a great community to be a part of. I'll look forward to seeing the art and games you create!
