Free Sprites?

General Discussions
#1

Anyone know of any good sites w/ royalty free sprites?
All I ever find is console rip-offs. Thanks

#2

What kind of sprite do you want ? High quality sprites ? 2D sprites ? 3D pre-rendered sprites ?

You could take a look at deviantArt, I think there’s a special categorie into the pixel art section…

ok cool thanks, i’ll give it a look see. :slight_smile: What i’m really looking for is some 2D sprites though, for side scrolling or top down design. Thanks

#4

You could also take a look at some free sprites galleries for RPGMaker and all this kind of “game making program”. Doing a search on google give plenty of good result a big resource websites.

#5

google ‘spritelib’

#6

ok cool, thanks

Ok. Check it.

The whole free sprite scene is crap.
Ya dig? :wink:

I spent countless hours in front of a screen to bring about a game that was god-awful. It’s not worth it…dawg.

If that were true, then fair enough.

But the truth is that it’s BS - look carefully and you’ll find some great free artwork around. e.g. for survivor we got all our textures for free and our 3D models for free (although the public alpha doesn’t let you move the overhead camera to appreciate the complexity of the Quake2 models ;)). I also have another 100MB+ of free textures on my HD, plus countless free sprites (mainly raytraced stuff).

Please, if you’ve got something useful to say, say it. But don’t just mouth off entirely randomly.

EDIT: i.e. I’m not asking you to shut-up, but e.g. instead of just saying “it’s crap” when it manifestly isn’t you should give some kind of evidence or reasoning beyond “cos I say so”.

Ok.

You want a reason that making your own game with 2-D sprites sucks. Here you go:

  1. To make a half-decent game takes hours.
  2. When you make it, you’ll get bored with it in 15 minutes.
  3. No one else wants to play it.
  4. You can go out and buy a good game for 50 bucks that won’t get boring.
    and 5. Naturally because I said so.
#12

Oh yeah, I forgot.

What the hell does flamebait mean?

#13

Flamebait - posts written with the intent of getting a negative response (a flame).

Reasons to write a 2D sprite game:

  1. Cause you want to.

To bbqplatypus:

Did you ever think maybe a 2D game could just be a simple stepping stone to bigger and better things? Plus, not all 2D games suck, have you ever played ‘Soldat’? It is a 2D FPS and it is pretty bad ass. Besides just because you think the graphics suck doesn’t necessaryily mean that the game concept sucks. Some of the greatest games made are 2D and people still enjoy playing them to this day.

Thanks for the links.

true

#17

As proof to born2snipe’s comment, just look at where Final Fantasy came from. A 2D very low pixel world into, IMO, the best RPG around. A film has been made in its honour as well!

  5. What? Only some hours?
  6. If you don’t like doing it why are you here?
  7. No really? A game you’ve done in “some hours” where you got bored after 15 minutes… and no one wants to play it? Eventually because you can’t do anything good within that timespan… especially if you nuke the project with that incredible amount of enthusiasm :stuck_out_tongue:
  8. You didn’t miss the whole point of this forum by any chance? ::slight_smile: But… yea… get some games and spend your whole spare time playing em :-*

Final Fantasy sucks.
It’s like Pokemon with swords.

#20

While that may be your opinion (sounds like you havn’t actualy played it cause there is a bit more too it than pokemon…), it does not change the validity of what darkprophet said. Just because you don’t like it doesnt mean its not an extremely popular game that has evolved into something much bigger than what it started as (2D 8-bit nintendo game).
