This game has some good flow.

Thanks for digging into it! There IS music during play... that I turned way, way down while testing and never turned back up. It's whispering the beats I guess. Your bug is actually a result of turning off a really mean feature, that if you press and hold spacebar before landing on a ledge (while still jumping) the ledge wouldn't activate and you would fall and die. I turned that off but if you still press early... jumping won't initiate until you release. Great catches.
I created a version without blood *In addition to* the original version. Please see most recent update: https://greebles.itch.io/pixel-plebes/devlog/770066/a-bloodless-transfusion
Legally...
"This license enables reusers to copy and distribute the material in any medium or format in unadapted form only, and only so long as attribution is given to the creator. The license allows for commercial use." The No-Derivatives bit is just to have some legal backing if it ever gets back to me that someone replaced a spade with a hate symbol or something like that.
TL;DR: Yeah, put them in. If you make more money off them than I do, "I hate your guts forever and wish you the best of luck creating your stuff!" The credit is perfect.
You found it, here. I created the lore based on what each of the queens holds in their hand and what it could represent in a "ye old way" ...so to say. The aces are their "four kingdoms" and also reflect the values/resources/theme of the kingdom each suit represents. The place-names are printed on each ace card's border.
It's just some fun flavor for these little fellas. Thanks for being taken in enough by my blurb to research it! It means the world to me. Also, though, sorry I wasted some of your time trying to find a (thankfully) fictitious war.
Commercial use is good, in whole or in part. The only condition I ever put out there is that if you want to make artistic changes to the cards you show for approval (e.g. changing, adding to, or otherwise manipulating the face cards to fit a different theme would be approved, while changing the suit icons to hateful symbology is a no-go). Thanks for purchasing these old cards. I hope you enjoy working with them.
Congrats! You just "Witnessed" something (possibly). There absolutely is a "win state" but I'm ... Never Gonna... well... not here, anyway.
It's a [Ludum Dare 47 Jam Game], made in just a few short hours, as a tribute to a much larger game with the same game loop, minus 40 hours of gameplay. You were supposed to hate it.
TL;DR:
If I can't pawn this one off on my progeny, I'll hit you up.
Thanks for the offer KorbohneD! Part of the original task was for me to learn the coding aspect of game-making using this fairly straightforward rock-paper-scissors mechanic and simple art. This was YEARS ago, and the entire game project morphed into a joke of epic procrastination and failure as my professional, artistic, and family lives grew and developed. I have a great understanding of Construct and could technically complete this game and let it go... but am not sure I want to yet. Also... I am OLD now and might pass the burden of this project to my teenage children, because that would be the funniest thing for me to do with all the art sitting in its project bin wasting away.
Are you saying you need to see MORE before deciding whether or not to purchase this exquisite work of art for ZERO dollars? Also, I don't wanna use these crappy assets, that's why I pawned them off on all of you.
WAIT DON'T GO! READ BELOW!
Actually though, I have an old html sandbox for it. I will have to dig up and see if it still works. Really it would look identical to the screenshot above in structure but has a few rooms to explore. It had a key to toggle all the biomes, some UI, and character controls/mobs to attack. The set is fairly niche and has little use outside of a micro dungeon crawler. I don't work in 3D but I know it translates okay in blender with Sprytile. I've wanted to try it in Crocotile but never picked that up.
If I can get it playing right... just expect that up at the top.
FOR NOW: Please accept this, the first mockup I made with it from the wayback.
Apologies I don't have more for you ATM.
Hey thanks for the catches! Too many versions is how many, currently. I haven't been maintaining my social presence or any of my old work here! Fixed my twitter, removed my portfolio (about time to rebuild and update anyway!) and hid away the redundant file downloads. Each frame of animation is 90x126 pixels, just like the individual cards. When I sweep back around to update all my work I will have a much friendlier setup for this mess of files (e.g. individual pngs for the anims as well as the sheets, consolidate all the fixes into a single pkg).
Hopefully this art works out for you in the mean time, and thanks for reaching out!
You found a missing PIP!
Thank you for the notice of changes and for the error-catch!
The Full PKG has been updated with the 7D fix for everybody and I threw in a limited color version if you wanna grab it too.
Also, the FIX.zip has the needed fix and the extra art too.
Again, thank you, it means a lot!
Any licensing is between the user and the creator (to protect the creator's property just as much as the user). So, a few things:
For assets, we use Copyright Law.
Itch provides the options to link to Creative Commons (a service with preset licence arrangements) that the creator can link to, or the creator can reserve some or all rights, and I would need to include a document in the download files telling you your explicit permissions. But Itch doesn't send their legal team to handle any grievance I would have with you, or vice versa.
With that in mind:
In this case, with these cards, I WANT you to be able to use them, and I want you to feel good trying to make something of yourself with them if you have a DYNAMITE idea. So, they are royalty-free and can be used in commercial work without further permissions within the VERY LOOSE standards of the licence.
Creative Commons has written public licences for different levels of courtesy where all you have to do to "AVOID THE COURTS" is:
Attribute me (as GREEBLES, or DevlynJD).
DO NOT CHANGE THE ART or make derivatives. (E.G. no vegetables in place of the swords.)
This licence allows for commercial use.
"Do not directly post the asset pack on some shady dark-web place like Etsy saying it is yours and you made this" is the only protection I'm seeking.
Here is the link to review this specific licence:
For future worries, troubles, or doubts:
Simply typing in the comments is a form of written correspondence and as such holds a bit of legal weight; if you and I have an exchange about, say, VEGETABLE DERIVATIVES, it is archival and retrievable. It isn't ironclad, but if I did go to the court and say you done me wrong by putting veggies in my art and you show Mr.Dr.Judgeman a comment where I said you COULD use vegetables in my art, you would win. So... in case we ever get there...
You, USER GEHGA, and YOU ALONE, have permission to add VEGETABLES to any of the HEART, SPADE, DIAMOND, and/or CLUB cards. The BLM cards are not allowed to be modified.
Whether I write it here or in a simple text doc won't change that I'M NOT GONNA COME AFTER YOU WITH MY CRACK EXPERT LEGAL TEAM. I do have a lawyer; he's a nine-years-old, but a legend in the civil circuit.
Thanks for being interested enough to seek legal protections! This is a good and scary feeling!
Please point me at your work if you decide to go forward with it (SO I CAN REVIEW IT, EVISCERATE IT, AND EAT ITS BABIES).
Respectfully,
Greebles
PS: I'll see you in court.
You may use the artwork for anything commercial or non-commercial, with attribution ("DevlynJD" or "Greebles") and can use the work in whole or in part for whatever project you have, online or offline without further permissions. Please do not directly redistribute the assets.
You cannot create derivatives or make changes to the art beyond technical-use case needs without permission. (This is only to protect the BLM Add-On.)
E.g. You can slice up the spritesheets, adjust the timing and order of the animations, and present the art however you see fit, but you can't just go and alter the depiction of the King of Diamonds so that he is holding a baguette without asking...
But since we're talking about them, you have permission to add baguettes. Say "baguette" real quiet-like and slow, like it's a dirty word or something. Try not to smile. I mean it's just bread? Baguette.
ME TOO, actually! I have just returned to my personal projects. For this I am doing a palette, transparency, and animation update for end of July. After that I will order a proof and post up my results in a devlog. If they feel right in the real world I will look thru if it is worth it to produce and sell, or build a campaign to get them out there.
