Do you know why it was abandoned? If they had the forethought to announce they intended to transfer assets to OGA before everyone stopped working on it, that implies it was abandoned for reasons other than "eh, we just don't feel like working on it anymore". How "clone" was this fallout/wasteland clone?
What I mean is, if they cloned it based on copyrighted DNA from the actual fallout/wasteland games (the assets were not necessarily made entirely from scratch, but based off of original fallout/wasteland assests) then they may have wanted to transfer all their assets to OGA, but were not legally allowed to do so.
Has princess-phoenix already reported those submissions on itch? "not the first time this has happened" but repeated reporting on one user is what makes a difference. I hope these artists are not becoming too fatigued to fight this arse.
P.S. I have reported the one with clear licensing (I don't know what license terms princess-phoenix has on her art) to itch as well as sent a letter to itch support regarding the kingpx account in general. We'll see... Everyone, please continue to look for stolen assets and report on the stuff that has clear licence violations (missing attribution)
Let's find all the submissions they're taken from and link them. If anyone finds an OGA submission that a kingpx was taken from, post the urls below (both a link to the kingpx.itch page and a link to the OGA page it was taken from.)
That will help us contact the original author, show itch the proof, and we can post the link to the free asset as a comment on each of those itch pages, so "customers" know what's going on.
I'll bet many people will be able to use them. If these are based off of 3D models, and you have those models still, I'd bet they could be adapted to the FLARE specs as well. These would add a lot of diversity to an already impressive game engine!
Sorry for the silly question, but how do I license them?
haha! Not a silly question. To license your work, you say to yourself "I've decided to release my assets under the terms of the CC0 / OGA-BY / whatever license." Then upload the assets to the submission page here on OGA. :)
I believe you've correctly identified the components with potential trademark issues. So long as those parts are not included, I look forward to seeing your submission. These look very cool. Clearly a lot of effort and love went into them. :) Let me know if you have additional questions.
You'll probably need to specify what you mean by CRPG. All the games you've listed are CRPGs. Including Diablo and FLARE. Even Fallout: tactics is a CRPG. It is also a TRPG, sure, but that doesn't exclude it from the CRPG category. What features of Fallout 1 and 2 are you going for that diferentiate it from Diablo and FLARE?
Oh Awesome! Good find, buttons.

His whole page is down for me. Am I just banned or is it removed?

Dorkster and/or Danimal for sure. They're quite responsive to any posts or comments in the FLARE forum as well.

Assume we haven't played classic fallout games. What "same mechanics"?
