Chris Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The collaborative, web-based, massively multiplayer game Glitch began its initial private testing in 2009, opened to the public in 2010, and was shut down in 2012. It was played by more than 150,000 people and was widely hailed for its original and highly creative visual style. The entire library of art assets from the game, has been made freely available, dedicated to the public domain. Code from the game client is included to help developers work with the assets. All of it can be downloaded and used by anyone, for any purpose. (But: use it for good.) Tiny Speck, Inc., the game’s developer, has relinquished its ownership of copyright over these 10,000+ assets in the hopes that they help others in their creative endeavours and build on Glitch’s legacy of simple fun, creativity and an appreciation for the preposterous. Go and make beautiful things. http://www.glitchthegame.com/public-domain-game-art/ Reborned and Bronsoner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@99golems Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 This is crazy awesome and these assets are simply gorgeous, but as far as I can tell they're all currently in swf or fla format. I'll wait a couple days and i bet some kind soul will put them in an open image format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanderingleaf Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Flash CS6 can export animations straight to a readable JSON format, which I have found to be quite handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 There are PNGs in the first link but there is no sprite sheet data, so most of the animations are useless to be honest. The little single sprites are great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabney Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If you follow the 'Encyclopedia' link from the Glitch home page, the assets are there as well, and much more organized including animated gifs to preview some of the assets. Not sure if it includes everything in the zip files, but it is definitely worth a look.I downloaded the sprite sheet for a talking crab (http://c2.glitch.bz/items/2012-12-06/npc_crab__x1_talk_png_1354831203.png). The frame dimensions and number of frames is in the encyclopedia (58 crabs of size 131 X 129). I just tested it by adding it to my local copy of the Phaser examples and it looks perfect and very cute! I'm very excited about the prospect of using some of these assets in a game!I was also able to use the 'Extract Sprites' feature of ShoeBox to extract the individual sprites from the spritesheet, so that could be an option if anyone wants to reduce the number of frames or otherwise customize the sprite. haden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentuat Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'm looking forward to seeing how these characters will be used in the next wave of match-3 games! @99golems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
