Of course you can; "fair use" requires more than just using it for non-profit activities. Cracking Adobe software and uploading it online may not be done for profit, but it's still illegal and they can still sue you.

Wouldn't a vastly improved tileset like what Dusty's doing now be more of a homage than anything? I'm pretty sure there are different copyright rules concerning homage/parody.

Well of course pirating would be a different case.

But I'm talking about for example, if you rip sprites or music from say, Super Metroid and decide to use them without permission.

It's the same thing from a legal standpoint.

It is not intended(and never will be) to actually be used in Graal.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as arguing about your work. I was talking more in general.

If you do finish the tileset, would you mind posting it? I would love to use it for my default tiles.

I challenge everyone to find me advice on these forums that is worse than this.

Sure. I didn't start off converting the tileset but I've since starting putting it all into one to easily work with the tiles. I can't guarantee that they'll be 'compatible' with pics1, but I'll see what I can do.

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

"Seatbelts cost more lives than they save." (I actually had another but it probably isn't too appropriate for the forums)

So I was wrong. But you didn't have to be so blunt =/

[DustyPorViva]

Hmm, I dunno which bush to use:




The first one I think fits in with the original and the tileset the most, but the double-thick outlines really bug me and I couldn't get it to look right with single-line thickness. However the second one I think fixes that but looks too bright for the tileset.

[maximus_asinus]

the thicker version seems more like the original anyways, but maybe try the thin version with darker colors?

[Crono]

i like the thick one
