This sheet contains packs 1-20 so there'll be no further updates on this one. Any future packs will be put into another, separate bundle when there are enough of them to do that with.
The moment when you buy an icon set with PayPal installment payments :O But I need the icons, and they look damn good. Even if my grandchildren will have to continue paying the installments :D Good Work, Caz!
Hey, I am interested in this. Just a quick question. Once you buy this once, does that get you a lifetime commercial license or do you have to buy it again for every game?
Hello. Was wondering if I already own some of the packs [namely pack 1/2/3 from indie bundle for abortion fund] and then purchasing this, would there be discount or not?
If I own all the individual packs already, is it possible to get the sheet with all of them together, without having to buy the bundle? (I bought 1-16 in a previous bundle, and 17-20 individually)
Hi, absolutely! Unfortunately there's no way to automate that through itch at the moment, but if you email cazzeh(a)hotmail.co.uk with proof of purchase, I can send you a key to this sheet. :D
Hi! They work out at about 7 US cents per icon, which I like to think is pretty good for assets that you can use for any purpose under CC by 4.0 license, no royalties, buy once and they're yours, etc.
I understand they're not the cheapest assets out there, but I believe in charging a price that artists deserve for their time. If they're out of your budget, that's perfectly understandable and I hope you find something else that suits your needs. :)
Roughly 1800 of those icons are hue shifted copies of the other icons... and many (about half?) of the ~900 remaining icons are slight modifications of their neighboring icons, but there are definitely at least 450 original icons in this pack... which makes it about 44 cents per icon.
At 0.07 per icon the 450 would be just over $30 which seems about right (but I'd probably wait until it was down to $20) (even though I probably own most of them anyway)
Frankly I still think 44 cents per completely unique icon is an incredible price. These "hue shifted copies" are also not quite so easy as you might think. It still requires manual selection of colours based on my existing palette which isn't always completely straightforward, and also relies on the colour theory skills I've spent many years improving. You won't find a library of 32x32 icons of this quality or consistency anywhere else at the moment.
Ultimately, it's your call if that doesn't suit your budget, but I have spent years building this icon library and put countless hours into both paid and free packs. Suggesting I cut the price to 10% of my original asking price is pretty insulting, and I'm not interested in charging such a small price for my hard work. Thanks for your input though. :)
You're right. You do fantastic work and I shouldn't have disrespected it. I've just bought too many icon packs with shameless copy+paste+recolor that the topic has become a pet peeve of mine. This pack does have many high quality original icons and $0.44 cents per icon really isn't too much to ask (especially since they are 32x32).
I wasn't asking you to reduce the price. I was just mentioning the price point where I would have bought the pack without thinking about it. Most of this type of collection packs are significantly discounted. And I'm sure many buyers have already purchased several of your icon packs already.
Here's a suggestion:
Keep your price point the same (at 7 cents per icon), but split this into 4 or 5 smaller packs... maybe with these categories:
Weapons
Armor
Resources
Food
Miscellaneous
I'm sure you would get more interest this way... especially if you are upfront about how many of the icons are recolors.

Hi. Quick question.
If I buy this sheet now, can I redownload it for free if it gets updated with more paid packs in the future?
This sheet contains packs 1-20 so there'll be no further updates on this one. Any future packs will be put into another, separate bundle when there are enough of them to do that with.
I see. Thanks for the info.

Hi. Do you have any potions in this pack other than the ones shown in Pack 7's preview? Thank you.Please disregard, I didn't see that Pack 1 has them.
Hello, am I authorized to modify them to my needs?
Hi! Yes, modification is allowed. :D
Perfect, thank you very much for the confirmation, here and per email as well :) (Love your work)
Hey, I am interested in this. Just a quick question. Once you buy this once, does that get you a lifetime commercial license or do you have to buy it again for every game?
Hey! Yep, it's a lifetime license for as many uses as you'd like. :D
Okay great! Thanks for clarifying. I'll have to get this once I have the monies. Love the vibrant colours and large selection btw.
Caz, are you planning on a black Friday sale at all?
Hello.

Hi there! Unfortunately I'm not able to set up a discount function through itch for people who already own certain packs, sadly. :(
If I own all the individual packs already, is it possible to get the sheet with all of them together, without having to buy the bundle?

I saw your profile pic and my goodness woman you are incredibly attractive......oh and your art is kinda nice too.
Haha, thanks! /////
Way too much hue shifting for the price...
