I'm in development of a 2D RPG, and I was wondering if you guys had any links to free tilesets, characters, and items.

Thanks,

Why dont you try to do your own tileset? Free tilesets usually is crap.

You could always just rip tilesets from SNES games. The two more common emulators out there both allow you to disable layers, so ripping tiles is a real joke.

That's what I used to do until I got better at drawing sprites and the likes. Works just fine. ;)

To get art, you usually have to do it yourself or pay for it. People don't just sit around making art for free so that other people can use it.

You can, however, get a few free textures (and an occaisional 3d model). Here's a few free texture sites:

http://www.dimensionality.com/free.html
http://digitalboneyard.net/
http://www.gamesextract.com/index.php

And one site with free character art (which can only be used in noncommercial games):

http://www.bubbleleague.com/visuals/

And some sites where you can buy art packs cheap that don't require you to pay royalties:

http://www.turbosquid.com/
http://www.daz3d.com/
http://www.gamebeep.com/pages/index.php
http://www.garagegames.com/

I forgot to mention http://www.gamebeavers.org/.

It's a site where you can submit 3 assets (which you created yourself) and then use any of the other assets on the site. There don't seem to be many assets, and I'm not sure if the site's functional - there were alot of little X's for missing images when I went there.

It seems to be primarily 3d-oriented anyways, which does neither you nor I any good.

I would if I could, but I'm no artist and wouldn't even know where to begin.

Thanks for the links though
