Hey guys, So I was wondering what your comments were about reusing art? like tilesets, enemies all that. If I make game A and a lot of the art can be reused for Game B, should I? I always seem to reuse tilesets and guys, it just seems to be the way I draw pixel art. The games are wildly different but the tilesets look similar, So what are your opinions?

I think Studio Pixel did something along the lines of that between Ikachan and Cave Story. Well, a lot of the blocks you'd see were. Maybe  you should just do something to vary them a bit, like different directions of grass blades.

Nuthin wrong with that. Nintendo did that all the time

I think that's legit, and fans of your games will come to recognize your characters and style, like Player 3 said of Studio Pixel.  I actually enjoy seeing reoccuring graphics, they have stories all onto themselves, when they move between games.

Not to my knowledge they didn't.

Wait, no, those where the third parties' games

Should you?  Well, do whatever you want to do.  Artistic vision and all that : follow it.

I think re-using art is fine, as long as the game is a sequel or set in the same universe.
