I just uploaded a little project I've been working on this year -- a set of 8-bit/NES-style graphics that I'm making available for whoever wants to use them. Linked is a ZIP containing the RPG file with all graphics inside... I also uploaded them all individually on the wiki's various "Free Graphics" pages.

So... here's a few extra screenshots I didn't include as previews on the "game" page for these!

Oh gosh, these are wonderful! I actually have a Halloween game I started that could work splendidly with these graphics. Drawing graphics was one of the big setbacks for it (I didn't finish it by Halloween this year). I'll be sure to include a credits page in the main menu if I follow through with that.

I had been working on a similar project a few years ago, like an 8-bit equivalent of Vikings of Midgard where you get a full set of graphics and an example game of them put together. The point of mine was to make sure every character gets equal treatment as a walkabout, hero graphic, and enemy graphic so an end user could decide he wanted a game starring monsters instead of elves or dwarves.

This set is a lot more polished than what I was going with.

Anyway, I've been drawing some sprites and tiles. I might make a short project like a more fleshed out Nathan's Halloween if I get to the point of having one graphic for each letter of the alphabet.

These are wonderful. I tried to add a tag to the game page, but I couldn't find an existing tag for this sort of thing. Can someone who's done more tagging help out? If we don't have a tag, we need one.

Guess I should throw those aforementioned trees up here.

FnrrfYgmSchnish, why is this not a game?
Make a game with this!

Awesome, Fnrrf! Thanks for; when I have more time I'll add your screen shots to the wiki as well (and I should add any screenshots I can find for the other graphics packs too).

We did have an existing tag, "resources", but I added "free graphics" too.

Wow, Pheonix, those trees are as good as any I've seen in a commercial RPG. Although, the center one sort of seems to be shaded a bit differently to the other two?

I saw that raccoon with a walkabout and an enemy sprite and decided he totally needed a hero graphic too. It uses the same palette as the enemy sprite instead of the walkabout.

Anyway that cigarette was too distinctive not to retain in his hero sprite, and wound up kinda taking over his personality.

EDIT: I decided to upload a second version using the same brown as his walkabout and personally I think it looks better.

Started a new casual project the other day, mostly to just try out the NES/GBC palette and been having fun with this. I might be sticking with this color scheme for a few projects. This game is going to sort of be an RPG with a bit of a Megaman-ish formula.

Been talking about this on IRC for the past few days, thought I'd share it here as well.

(Note: Movement in the video above looks too fast, but that's a problem with my screen recorder.)

Not entirely sure which perspective I'll go with yet though. The second one is easier, but the first looks cooler. Who knows, I'll figure it out eventually, heh.

BMR, I'm speechless. That looks utterly amazing.

I think level design for a non-isometric view would not only be easier to make, but easier for a player to read. I agree, the isometric movement looks cooler, but as a player, I would have to get used to the perspective. It doesn't feel very natural to look at. In addition, the walls take up a lot of foreground space, so having everything at right angles lays the floorplan of the room out much more aptly.

From a design perspective, I would argue for going with a 90º camera angle. It feels like a game I would be more likely to pick up and start playing.

That being said, I have to second Foxley. Both look incredible. Your 3D -> 2D renderings have all looked amazing.
