The tilesets seem to be from GB/GBC editions of Pokemon, specially couldn't help noticing "MART" written in one of the pieces of the tiles. Does Gamefreak/Nintendo or any other game publisher that created games back then, have not copyright/restrictions over uses of these images?
- hebejebelus 15y agoThe default one is, currently, from Pokémon Gold or Silver. You're right - to use it under fair use we should include a copyright disclaimer. (However, does the fact that the image is meant to be changed mean anything in terms of legal issues?) We're currently in the process of getting our own tilesheet made - this was simply the first one we found several months ago. I'll add a disclaimer to the post, and hopefully by the next iteration we'll have our own original tilesheet.
- ideamonk 15y agoI had once found tile-set extractors that would give you sprite-sheets and tile-sets right out of GBA/GBC/SNES roms. Always tempted to use them on my personal projects, but never did due to legal issues. "However, does the fact that the image is meant to be changed mean anything in terms of legal issues?" Haven't much experience in copyright/laws to comment on that.
