The artwork is quite nice ... very clean ... not sure I have much use for all of the design docs ... I use various different methods to keep track of my projects ... I usually brainstorm on a napkin ... then I jot down a list of tasks I have to do in a notepad ... then I put the tasks in a tool such as Overlord or Axosoft's OnTime () ... then I just follow along with the list of todo's ... order by priority and tentative due dates ...
But this is a great addition to the communities resources ... thanks a ton ...
Your post is written in a manner that also implies you'll be doing more of these ... any word on what and when?
Oh and ... the site you link too, seems broken ... images are not loading, and links go to dead pages ... but you probably already know this and are still working on the site ...
Good job all and all ... great resource!

you make no reference to licensing in the Readme or on the site (that I could find) so I assume, at this point ... that the artwork is 'free to use for commercial' as you don't say otherwise ...The artwork is quite nice ... very clean ... not sure I have much use for all of the design docs ...

Yeap should of added the licensing in. I will update the pack next week.
Its a alpha test kind of. If you can email how to make a license Document I would appreciate that and I will add it in. Also feed back is great as well --- info@silkjade.com
Also some better art will be released in the free pack. Another team is working on a very good pack which I will submit my elitie artwork too.

The big pack coming up is the RPG one. I can do this pack because our next game is a casual RPG.

To be honest the RPG pack is the one I am foaming at the mouth to do :). Yeap should of added the licensing in. I will update the pack next week.

it's usually a common thing to just say how we can use it ... or to pick a pre-made license like GNU, or one of the Commons ...

I think you misunderstood ... I was talking about the license (usage terms) for the pack itself ... you don't say how we can use it ... which implies we can do anything we want ... regardless of who we are and what were using it for ... it's usually a common thing to just say how we can use it ... or to pick a pre-made license like GNU, or one of the Commons ...

I will add in a pre-made license like a GNU this weekend with some updated place holder art.
