[quote=“daftigod, post:27, topic:731”]Sorry about that outburst, i was in rough shape yesterday. We had to put down our 17 yr old cat, and it was a hard day. Reading over my post I kinda sounded a little pissy and unprofessional and I try not to post like that usually.
You guys are both right, and my goal is definitely to get this set included in the distribution at some point. With copyrighted material that would not work out, and this same situation has already kept my work from being included with ToME so I should not be getting defensive about the subject.
So with that said, Fat Dog is already at a point where it does not contain a single direct copy of any copyrighted sprite. Even before this post, there was not a single direct copy to be found. I am willing to replace tiles that are deemed too similar to already existing commercial games. But, keep in mind that there are only so many was to draw a bunny or a rat in a 12x12 space, and still have it be recognizable at a distance. There are only so many different ways to render an 12x6 aspirin vial. There is only one way to draw a circle that is 10 pixels wide. I have 576 total pixels to work with here, if I’m using the entire tile size. So you have to cut some slack please! Also, since I use black outlines on everything by design, it leaves me with less room for colored pixels. This is a limitation I feel is worth the sacrifice when viewing things at a distance. It makes objects pop out more against the background!
Here’ the new bunny from scratch, just for you Mike

Oh no your fine, I know how that feels putting down a pet that you’ve grow attached to. I would be pretty pissed too if someone accused me of stealing. I like the new bunny btw lol. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see the other stuff that you make.
