Here is a update for a Opensource Light world. Only CC0 trees were added today, but it is progress! I have so much more to add!

[Christopho]

Wow this will be very nice
And thanks for your message

[Zefk]

No no. Thank you! Solarus in my opinion is the best free 2D ARPG Engine on the web. I am happy to help.

[Zefk]

I will probably be using these sprites as a test for the tileset.

[Zefk]

I had some more time, so I added some more to the tileset today!

IMHO, about the graphics in the sample quest, maybe try to coordinate with Diarandor who also works on it. The more efficiently we can advance about the graphic issue, the sooner Children of Solarus will be released and the better the sample quest will be for newcomers.

[Zefk]

That is up to Diarandor. I do not want to take time away from his works and it would be best for me to complete everything I can before asking for others to join in.

Hi Zefk! Do not worry, you are not taking my time away. We can coordinate our work if you want, for the sake of the Children of Solarus project. (We can talk better on the IRC Chats if it's ok for you.)

I am focused on the graphics of the hero, which includes animations for weapon attacks, and also the weapon inventory items (to have consistency with the weapon sprites of the hero attacks). I also made almost all the sounds (I can do the remaining ones one of these days). I plan to make the graphics for NPC's when I finish all of this.

So you can focus on free (or at least, zero-price) tilesets fitting with the ones in ALTTP, and also the musics, and with that all would be done. Maybe you can create/find NPC graphics that fit with the project, too.

As I usually recall, my graphics are not free as in freedom since they are non-commercial (the licence is CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0), they are just zero-price. For people without commercial concerns that should be ok (if someone wants to use them for a commercial game, a deal with me could always be possible). For the Children of Solarus project that license is good enough too.

Anyway, if someday someone creates free graphics for all the hero animations of nice quality (which is a huge work), then we could replace my art for the free one in the Children of Solarus project, which would be better for other people with commercial intentions. As far as I know, no-one is working on this (at least using a free licence), and it would be necessary to keep the size of the hero sprites (for compatibility) and make all the animations. Most of the internet free art for a hero is incomplete (most animations are missing), or does not fit with what is needed here.

[Zefk]

Edit: Maybe you could help with these sprites I attached.

[Zefk]

Here is the update for today. I did a little more than I planned too.

[Christopho]

Nice to see the progress every day
Free tilesets fully compatible with my Zelda tilesets are really a dream to me

Me too! This is a really fun project.

There has been a lot of modifying and re-sizing the opensource art. I should have the rest done after I get the chests size changes done, but here is a update.
