C'mon, there is a whole community of free software ---and I'm not giving you a philosophical argument here, it is real. And there are people who think people should share more than crap.
Hey wait a sec now. You need to get my point here. I've been making chipsets, charsets, battle animation, etc for the last year or so, I've worked very hard and gave this very long hours (Over 400 of them and counting) to these graphics. I passed up lots of occasions to do other stuff with friends and family because I'm dedicated on making a fresh and original game. I get your point that we need to share things to help out other game makers but do you really expect me to just give away all of this just to make someone else happy? No, sorry, I wouldn't mind starting a tile and showing someone how to create something out of it, but just giving away all of the hard work I've put into this is unacceptable to me.
When I started my project, I did what everyone does, I went from site to site and took graphics here and there while trying to keep it in the same style to what I was producing but after a while, I wanted something else, something different so I took it upon myself to do this. At first I was really bad at making graphics but you slowly learn how to make them better with practice and when you are willing to work for your vision, I still think I can do much better and I know I will by the time this project is done.
Do you get what I'm hinting at here? It's not that I'm not going to share anything, it's that I want my game to be original in all aspect and that I just don't see why I would just give everything I've done and the time I spent on it to someone that doesn't want to work for it.
Now, if you want advise on graphic creation, I can help you no problem and I'll welcome the challenge of teaching someone the "how to do" of it all.

Well it's not my case, I love what I'm doing believe me, it might not be perfect to someone else, but it is for my vision.

You can keep your point all you want salviati and I understand your frustration but try to understand mine please.

Yeah what ever happened with that tread? I remember I shared the PS2 World Map rip I did.
