minimal_8 - 8x8 retro assets 1-bit / 2-bit
A downloadable asset pack
_about_
minimal_8 is a top-down 8x8 (or more precisely 7x7) tileset with a strong retro/roguelike vibe. The assets are designed for medieval RPGs, roguelikes, or TBS (Turn-Based Strategy) games with a consistent and appealing aesthetic. The minimalism of the tiles, combined with different color palettes, allows them to fit various biomes and environments while maintaining a cohesive style.
minimal_8 exists in two forms:
• 1-bit (2 colors: sprite and background)
• 2-bit (4 colors: 3 for the sprite and 1 for the background)
The free version of minimal_8 contains only the 1-bit assets and 2-bit characters and can be used for your non-commercial projects. Please credit me, and feel free to notify me if you use it!
The paid version includes all the 2-bit assets and is licensed under CC BY 4.0. You can use it for both commercial and non-commercial projects, as long as you give proper attribution :).
Future updates are planned, so stay tuned!

Simply amazing.
This looks absolutely fantastic!!!
Thanks a lot!
I absolutely loved this!
One question: the reward version is, in some ways, more restrictive than the free version, because the CC BY-SA license forces the user to use the same license in derivative works. So, for instance, if I make a game using these assets, my game - even if sold commercially - would still have to use the CC BY-SA license. That means whoever purchases it is able to freely distribute it. On the other hand, with the free version I could distribute - but not sell - my game using any compatible license. Is that intended?
If not, the simplest alternative would be to use the CC BY license instead, which does not have the "share alike" clause while still requiring attribution.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention; it was obviously unintentional! I’m not an expert on licensing, so I’ll take a look and update whatever is necessary. :)
This gives me so much nostalgia vibes, really need to think of a game to use it in. It looks amazing!
Thanks a lot!
I love the clarity and the geometric shapes! Can’t wait to use this in a game.
Thanks! Don't forget to notify me, I can't wait to see the result!
Looks wonderful!
Inspiring work, love the squared design!
Thanks mate!

Oh my gosh this is amazing! 8x8 is my favorite and this one is super unique, thank you so much! I hope you keep making more!
Thank you!! Updates are planned, the next one should arrive soon!
Beautiful work! Always looking for pixel artists doing amazing minimal and abstract works! Perfect example of that, you are inspiring me greatly.
