This is great. Can't wait for these to be officially submitted.
Having separate copies of tileset for each season would be amazing, but I have doubts the extra work is worth the effort. I feel like it's only fully effective if you have 3 new versions of every terrain and outdoor decoration tile in the whole LPC set. A seasonal variant is about 75% as good, but at least 4 times less work.
Don't forget you guys are collaborators on elmerenges' LPC Collection. If your new contributions are reasonably within the LPC style and licensing guidelines, add them to the set! :)
RTP derivative lamp post removed. Bluecarrot16 is working on some great replacement lamps, but I don't plan on adding them here. That will have to be up to individual users or Reemax + collaborators, I'm afraid.
^ Also, the clock face shown in this set is derivative of non-free art and should also be removed. :/ Sorry. I have to mark this with a licensing issue, but I'm confident it will be very temporary. :)
Those barrels are only thematically similar in my opinion. It's pretty clear to me they aren't derivative of RTP stuff. Thanks for scanning through this for any additional issues, guys. Sharm's lamp makes a good replacement, but users will have to work them into this set independently.
The lanterns identified above have been removed from both the tileset and the preview. @cemkalyoncu: I also restored the object shadows to semi-transparet in the tileset (the alpha channel had been accidentally removed when bart edited out the awning and clock face). I reworked the preview image as faithfully as I could to only display content found in the tileset: Lanterns, clock face, and tent awnings no longer appear in the preview. The originals are available behind the scenes, so if something was messed up, we can easily restore it or compare to the previous versions.
yes, I can remove the bad components as bart did. And yes someone should comb through this for other RTP derivatives. Unfortunately, I won't have time to do that myself for quite a while. It would be immensely helpful if a couple of you could take a look at it and give your assessment. The more eyes on this the better.
"maybe someone could reach out to them and ask to add some collaborators"
I'm on it. :) However, there are several LPC collections. Do we all agree that one is the "best"?
Good point about differing art styles possibly not matching the LPC feel, but tags do not determine what is in an art collection, the collection owner and collaborators do. I think if all collaborators are using the official LPC styleguide it should be pretty easy to determine what does and does not belong in the collection.
"this would allow the attributions to be dropped in to a project rather than being manually curated each time from the credits.txt file. It would also allow us to fix attribution information on submissions where the original author is not cooperating."
Not sure I understand the nature of this problem. Are you unable to drop attributions into a project currently? If you're using an asset with a credits.txt file, why would you be manually curating it? Don't the multiple authors all still apply to the entire asset? Also, I may be able to help fix attribution on submissions with uncooperative submitters. I don't know of any such submissions though. Examples?
The auto-generated credits file for collections has a pretty solid format for attribution. However, the special instructions often refer to a credits.txt on the submission itself. This is usually because LPC assets tend to have a LOT of authors, so they would be far too lengthy to list in the special instructions section itself. Is this something you foresee having a reasonable solution? I'd like to hear your ideas on that too.
Title: [LPC] Forest tiles
Author: Reemax
Collaborators: Sharm, Hyptosis, Johann C, MrBeast, William.Thompsonj
This is allowed here. :)
It helps to get even more specific, though: https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/how-and-when-to-write-a-good-art-request (replace the word "game" in this guide with "youtube channel" and it applies)
Ooh! Transparent overlays. That would be awesome.

Awesome! Thanks. I love this set.

Licensing flag lifted.

This is fun! I think these are good ideas and it's going to have productive results no matter what direction it takes. :)
