itch.io

Thanks a lot.

Yes there is a file with some description lines for each icon, which should help with dev. It includes the name and where the fishes usually appear, and some other trivia. So it should be useful for creating a fishing system of any kind.

Please.
I am glad that I've been able to help you.

Sure thing, no problem.
The agreement has to be clear for both sides, that's why I provide Q&A on it. I don't want that anyone gets into agreements they wouldn't like to have.
In the first place I want to provide help with graphics for people developing their games, that was always the core idea behind those assetpacks. 

I added another clarification in the FAQ, directly at the first point:

"Please be mindful of this:

The licence is written in terms of law-speech in a way which prevents for obvious business reasons editing and reuploading of assets of the packs / my asset packs on different store fronts. However if you edit my assetpack art and use those edits within the confinements of your video game, which is the intended use for my assetpacks, I totally don’t mind this.

--
I hope that this now clears up any feelings of insecurity from your side with the licencing.

@Foyer8754 law speech for official documents just works very differently. than normal speaech. If you ask me as an artist providing art-assets for indiegames, I wrote my own wording in the FAQ on top of the legal part.
However I let my licence write by a professional NY lawyer. Not only to be absolutely sure the wording is correct, but also that it will hold up in case of a lawsuit. That's why this document got so huge in the first place, it is not my fault, but a problem with the US copyright system which needed to be addressed even for someone like me operating from Austria. Like always there is a huge difference between official documents/ contracts compared to casual agreements, but former might at some point may potentially be important and then the agreement better is very clear and waterproof.

The problem with a licence like this never is the intented audience who buys the assets and uses them to make a game, but malicious actors.

The existence of this paragraph you put in is in there, that somebody is not just making a minimal change, e.g. changing a pixel or a color or does other minimal changes and reuploads it. And that is what is meant with "derivative work is owned by the artist". It's literally the law protection for me for circumventing this malicious practice and have an easy way to step down on this should it ever happen.

Also the changes to the licence so far have been little additions for clarifications and things like usage for NFT or AI which weren't foreseeable at the time i made the assetpacks. For both of those things very clear amendments have been made and also it needs to be worded like that, because how the legal system works in those cases. However there is a changelog at the bottom, which outlines all the changes ever made as well, which is required.

From the legal side I am afraid that those things need to be written the way they are, at least that's what my lawyer told me and he is the professional in the field.
On the other hand if you buy assets from me you can be sure that everything from the ground up, like having a solid licence in place, was handled professionally. And that's reflected in the price.

If it's different with other creators selling things on itch.io, probably it's because they did not consult and pay a lawyer for setting up their terms, which also for you as a client can mean that potentially there are a lot of legal loopholes with getting those assets. The licence does not only retain some expected rights for me as a seller, but it also grants you very clear rights as a purchaser, which is as soon as games become a more professional endeavour and you sell them, of huge importance.

If you feel insecure about my assets, you can always check out some of the games which use them.
Amongst others: Vampire Survivors, Symphony of War, Gestalt Steam & Cinder, Tiny Thor, Pathway, Alterium shift...
Those are some bigger titles and I am happy to have provided assets from my packs for them.

Yes the license doesn't include usage for boardgames / printed media.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Please. I think things I talk in here should be more widespread :)
Glad you enjoyed it.

hre it is! Well it's more an overall overview, but I hope it was helpful.

Thanks a lot for the comment.
I am glad you liked this one!

I don't know react and never made anything in it.
Generally those are pngs and normal 9 slices saved as a png file.

You need to give her the cleaning order, 2nd button, lowest icon.

Ah yeah that's indeed a missing thing...

I do not split sets. But you can wait for a sale.

There are 14000 graphics included, it's a fact.

100 base icons, each with a castshadow, an outline, with different outline and in many different color variations. If you count all together it's 14.000 variations. There are Add-on packs for specific other types of games, if you need more art and this set is also cheaper than the other packs.

There also is the 16x16 set where you can check out the pack at a lower price.

There are some icons which are similar/the same to other packs, as this is meant to be used in conjunction with other packs but also is a full product of it's own.
The big majority of the assets provided are uniques, but some simple rings and some materials are duplicates, as some accessoires set were built from earlier existing icons, enhancing other sets in meaningful ways.

I can confirm that I will make another which includes 8-10 more swords.

With the price well... the icons themselves are already at a bundled price and the problem rather comes up in a scenario if you are looking for unique solutions for everything. As the sets are designed to be useful as products for a wider variety of games, sometimes there just won't be enough variety. Generally as assetpacks are general usage cases, it's hard to find any pack you are using more than 50% of the contents.I already talked about that with some icon types I will go into more "specific" sets, similar to the wizard set, so that means some upcoming new sets might be a better fit for your specific needs.

So for armors it also seems like a more specific set would help a great deal. The problem in the design here was that next to helmet, breastplate, gloves and boots, sometimes capes and belts are necessary to. I am not even talking about that some people would need them front facing, and some people wish for more male/female variation in the designs too, which are other problem areas.
I expected that for now people would cut together the first armor set according to their needs or fill up armors with basicset items. Some people loved the samurai and ninja sets because that's a basic rpg class, of course for an epic scale rpg with those as very specific classes you would need a progression for each armor.

 But I see now that for your specific usage case the main problem seems to be that there just is not enough variety offered right now, especially not to meaningfully seperate light armors from heavy armors. I noted that down - the problem again is that there are different types of armor designs for various games which contain different pieces. I will think about what I can improve there for future sets.

Regarding specific epic or enemy set armors (dragon armor, goblin armor, elf armor ...) those are not offered at all and are more specific, so that's something I also have on the idea-list, but before tha t I have take care of some more basic issues.

Thanks for your thoughts, I will consider them during the design of new sets

Expansions will be coming in the future. Yes your list touches a lot of the things in my notes. It's good to see it though, so I know what you'd like specifically so I can add up the priority on this.

While I am just concepting the exact composition and designs of the new specific sets, I think it's fair to say that hammers and scythes might be some of the next thing we might see some deeper expansion for. Spears might follow.

Guns actually saw a lot of expansion in the survival horror, steampunk and weapons set, each providing 5 guns. There are single ones in the adventure set and survival set and basic set as well. So in total like 17 unique guns. Is there something specific you are missing?

The armor & clothing topic pops up constantly, so I think the first armor/equipment set simply was not enough? Is there anything which you don't like about this set? would like to see improved for another similar set? Are there some pieces of gear you miss specifically?

Thanks for the feedback.

A lot of them I had semi-completed, I have been working on them since we talked last. It's just that now they got ready for the release and I lined them up.

The license changed now the only determining factor is if the game is "successful" as described in the license. If your game hits any of the tresholds, then for the next game you need another license. At this point even a game which exactly just slightly goes over the treshold should have mathematically earned enough to pay for the licence, making a lot of the earlier communication unnecessary. If there is any special case, my support is always there. However it akes sure that people who want to use the assets for prototypes or are new to dev have it easier and a lot of the risk which before was there, is gone now. The goal of the changes were: to be more forgiving, clearer and more favourable and accessible.

Indeed the sale right now is a one-off exception for people who have been waiting quite a long time for the 32x32 assetpacks, so basically for you. It's literally the best time to complete your collection, because from here on out the 32x32 resize is finished and I will again focus on completing things on the idea/wishlist like before the resizing.

Indeed the wizard set was one of the last sets which got produced before I started on the resize of all the iconsets.
Generally at there are right now 2 types of sets, the general and the specifc set.
The survival Horror, Steampunk or Survival, Alchemy & Mining set are all general sets, with many icons covering a wide variety of different needs.
The specific sets, like the Alchemy set or the Wizard set provide a lot of variety within a narrow space, and also have been the last ones produced before the resize and generally are very much liked.
As the general sets are quite bad at delivering such a huge variety on a lot of needs for different crafting or upgrading, or elemental needs a lot of games developed now have, I think that down the road this seperation between the sets will be even more pronounced. And I think I will loop back to some of the more general sets and provide better levels of specifics, especially for features I know a lot of games right now have.

I added all the ideas on my idea-list, thanks a lot.

Lol, after buying like all the other things is there still something you're missing equipment wise? :D

Thanks a lot :)

Nice to see you again :)
Thanks a lot for the purchase.
Please also consider to leave a review/rating, it helps with visibility.

Thanks. Glad you like it. The adaptations to different sizes took quite a while, thanks for your patience.
Glad you like it and you got it

Those are the only two which are right now not finished. But they are far in the process. I Just need to wrap them up.

So it  can only be weeks until they are released, but they will be there soonish.

Hey Rachel,
Now the set is available as a 16x16px version.

It's available now as 32x32 px version.

Aye. All Iconpacks in the store will be released as 32x32 versions in the coming weeks - just saying ;)

There is a distinction in the licence, which means that it shouldn't impact you in case you want to make prototypes, just play around with them or you are true indie.
