I feel like an idiot for buying it despite the warnings of others. II bought it on sale for $25 and even that is too much. While I might be able to make use of some of the character sprites as place holders, and some of the gui graphics options, most of this stuff is utter garbage. I mean seriously, there are sprites in here that look like they were drawn quickly by a 5 year old. Really bad stuff. The scenery art is especially atrocious and would be useless in most cases. There are free options that are much better, just google for it. Seriously, don't waste the time.. Aside from missing a few odds and ends this package already contains an impressive assortment of tools for building many types of games. The space\/sci fi kit is huge, it also has things like map builders and "snes looking sprite" character builders. My only complaints are that the game kits are not fully fleshed out, so you will not be able to get 100% of your resources from this. With that said, just some amateur GIMP\/Photoshop skills and this package will keep you busy making custom game content. It all fits togethers like legos. I literally just drag drop things into my layout editor. I really like it, and I'm excited that they will add more. Massive space set, great quality, lots of animations, ships, parts, backgrounds, etc all look great at 720pAssortment of things that are not as expansive such as a map builder, rpg icons, some avatars. The only downside is that things aren't fleshed out. Sprites have walk only animations and the ground builders do not match the art style. Creating these things would take considerable work for an amateur. The space kits has more ships than necessary but lacks some things like icons for common gui elements or space inventory. You still have to get your elbows dirty if you're looking to complete a game.If you're sick of being uninspired by using your own programmer art, I highly reccommend this. No worries about licensing, and it's very flexible. At least I'm having fun.. The idea of making a bundle of graphics for amateur game developers is all right, but the pricing is way to high. a fair price for this bundle would be 20-30 euros in my opinion.. As a whole the package is a failure. There are a great number of resources, but those resources in many cases are small variations of the same item. As an example you have a spinning item. Each of the images of the spinning item are individual images, but also available in a PSD file (Crysyal Gems). This increases the overall number of images in the set inflating the number dramatically. The Crystal Gems are nearly 1500 images in all. Even the items I would find use for are useless to me becuase of the size of the original images. You can only shrink an image so much before it no longer becomes useful. If I were making a top down tank shooter or space arcade game (over 3,000 ship parts) then this set would certainly be useful, but as is I believe the bundle is trying to be too much, to too many at one time. Attempting to cater to many but serving very few.. Sprites are not bad. These are good, and useful for developers.Also, Price is not too bad when i think free royalty and how many sprites are put in IGB.However, Some folders names are vague (Example as 'Effect2', 'Shot1'). It may be good if they are named more detail (like 'Green color Hit Effect', 'Red color gun shot'). Furthermore, IGB Application in steam isn't useful, Because This app doesn't give any functions to you, If you click 'Open Graphics Folder', this app doesn't open it, just says 'All your files are located in Your Steam\/SteamApps\/Common Folder or where you had Steam download...'.Anyway, in my opinion, This content is good. If possible, I recommend you buy this when this is in discount sale.. I'm going to be fair. This could be a useful pack for someone who has a LOT of trouble artistically and has a low budget graphics wise.And by artistic trouble, I mean you can't even make a box in MS paint.I am by no means a talented artist, and I could probably make these graphics within seconds. They're very lackluster and ugly. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. High quality assets do not come in this size for less than 100 dollars. Yes, I know someone might not listen to me and just write me off as having too high standards. But if you don't believe me, at least wait for a steam sale, I purchased this for 25 dollars. I think that was a much more fair price (despite the amount of content).Most of the content to me is going to be unusable, unless I need a placeholder (but I could just use different colored squares as placeholders for free). I can't say I recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality assett pack, which is sad. I really wanted to like this. I think what the creator is doing is great, and kindhearted. But I think if his assets are this low-quality, he should be asking a much more fair price.. It's ok. But everything is just so haphazard. For example:-Some graphics have layered PSD versions, some don't. -Some graphics look painstakingly illustrated, while others look crude and slapdash.-Some animation sequences are poorly named, causing most programs to display them in the wrong order when importing. -The folder structure is all over the place. Want some rocky ground? No problem, just go to \\jungle scene & platform\\rocks .........or......... mini packs\\spaceforce\\terrain ............or........ \\landbuilder ..........or......... who knows where else. Searching won't always help, because not all files are named helpfully.-The pack is all over the place stylistically - pixelart, painterly, cartoony, 3D render, etc. - yet chances are that no one style is represented enough to really be useful for a whole game.Because of the haphazard nature of the pack, and the uneven quality of the graphics, this isn't really suitable for anything more than a backup library that you dip into infrequently, for placeholders or starting points. That's all I personally needed it for, so it's done its job, and I'm reasonably satisfied. However, for what it is, it's definitely overpriced. I feels very "quantity over quality", yet the quantity of graphics isn't even that great. At this price, I can't really recommend it.. If you're looking for viable graphics to incorporate into your indie game, this is probably not the bundle for you. The graphics are at best amateurish. This should be called 'indie placeholder bundle'.. Definitely not what I was expecting. Please read the "About the Software" This is NOT a software, its simply a collection of art which could be used in small indie games or at least placeholder art until you get an artist or 2 to do stuff for you.I don't regret getting this product as it is still helping me come up with ideas of what I would want in my games, but if you are looking for a software to create unique artwork, this is NOT the way to go.I do feel the "About the Software" is a little bit misleading, since this is not a software nor does it provide you the ability to create "unique" graphics. I suppose if you call different combinations of the same stuff "unique" it could work.
