Ya, I know the colours in some of this stuff are less than ideal. I was using these in a game engine with a 256 colour palette.... and the colour options in the palette were not what I would have picked if I designed it, lol. Its pretty easy to just use the fill tool in an art progam and fix the colour if you want to use it though.
(This art is all about a decade old, so I will upload more but probably not change any. If I updated any of this stuff I would feel the need to redraw it too, lmao.)
Thanks so much, and I am glad you like it :) I would love to see your game when it is done.
I don't mind if someone else wants to make "front facing" versions of the enemies and characters, but I just don't have the time too. I am aleady working on several 3d and flash games, I don't have any more spare time.
Yes, I do plan to put up more... it just takes a lot of time and we are trying to get a game built in a month (hard to do, lol). When I am a little less busy, I will continue with more though :)
The buttons could be improved for any age (especially the colour system, we are completely replacing that now that we know more about flash). Emerald Activities was sort of our learning project, doing all those pieces actually got me a good enough portfolio to get an industry job, and doing the code for that and our other projects ended up changing my fiance from a 3d animator to a software engineer. We never seem to have time to go back and apply what we know now to the site though, it is just too big a job and although it gave us our current skills... it doesn't make money :p
Our site is a little decieving because I designed the mascot and such sort of poorly for the group. That and the "family friendly" rules I put up, makes it seem to focus on young kids, but really our audience is tween girls. I plan to redo the site someday to more clearly show that, right now it is very confusing. I am working on several games for little ones too (I have a 7 year old and a 2 year old... but I think I will split it into two sites or something).
A few kids actually have requested hidden object games before, I will see about doing one when I have a bit more time. I should probably finish a few we have started first though :p We have kind of moved on to social games and such now, since we have both worked at a social game studio. I would like to make a simpler version of our magic maker games for kids to use on a tablets though, my daughter would love that.
I was mainly offering to do graphic sets since I can do it without needing my fiance's code help, and because I have used a lot of open source and royalty free code/sound/reference over the years. I thought maybe I could give a little back. I guess I will try to just make a few random sets and see if anyone wants more.
I am glad to be here, I hope I can hope I can give some coders and designers the ability to better realize their visions :)
Thanks! A hidden object game is a good idea, though it might be hard to make a set for that.
I can't post vectors... well at least not for a few years. Our main use for these is our version of dress up games (you can scale/colour/rotate/and apply patterns in our games) and having someone just directly take all of our stuff and make a dress up would really suck for us.
That is why I offered to make sprite sheets or something if people are after specific things. That way the art to could be useful to others, but it won't be easy for others to clone our games ;)
I have used them for title sences, and I have actually used them to make a game for Whirled. The viewpoint on that site works well with my stuff so I made trick or treating game out of it... that is why I thought I would offer it here.
The liberated pixel cup stuff won't work with my style, though there are some really beautiful pieces there.
I am just offerning to change the colour, line thickness, and size of my existing work to fit with a few themes and sizes. I am not drawing anything new. Since I have made around 15,000 flash graphics for my site, I can probably make some decent sets. I did take a quick look at the request list, but since most people are asking for art on a specific style, it doesn't seem like my work will fit.
On the other hand, if someone is ok with my style and wants say "30 food dishes 32x32" in size or "50 treasures 64x64 in size" that will just take me a few hours.
Thanks again though, and I will see if there are any games in the wikipedia that might want my work ;)
Sweet! Those look great, its fun to see it move around :)

Thanks for the feed back!
Thanks!
I'm glad you like it. Things are crazy busy right now, but there is still lots more coming when I have a little more time ;)

You are welcome!
If anyone uses these in a game, let me know. I would love to see how this stuff gets used :)

If anyone wants to see the kind of stuff you can pick from, got to: http://www.emeraldactivities.com/market.php?cat=modern (it is the "store" for my website, and it has lots of the pieces I can use to make sets.)
