CloseFor pretty much no reason I started work on a resource pack for VX/Ace in snes style. Using rips from games styled like Final Fantasy 4 an 5. I most likely won't use them myself but for some reason I find it fun to put together mass resources like monsters, battle animations, character sets an so forth. What is it that makes it fun? Is it just me or do you guys like making resources for no real reason as well?

I'd say, to any artist the mere creation process is usually a great deal of fun.
But I do find it more satisfying when what I create is used, whether by me or someone else.
I have more motivation when I create a piece for a project then when it's just for show.

I've made a lot of resources that end up collecting dust deep within the reaches of my game mak folders. I (usually) enjoy the creation process once I get going, but it's difficult for me to get started without a purpose. I prefer to assume that what I'm creating will be used in a project eventually, even if this doesn't turn out to be the case.

For me I guess it's the nostalgia of piecing together sprites from old games I loved so much

no really I have double that as resources waiting to be uploaded to rmn XD
NOW ASK ME IF I'M UPLOADING ANY GAMES
well i just did today but that's an ironic exception
Joseph, the link to your resources isn't working cos it's private. Also trust me I'm gonna make my game using ur cute tiles.
Sometimes. I tend to make resources that I need at the time and enjoy that, but I don't usually make resources for other people unless it's something small. I mean, I'll release the resources late, but for the most part they're for my own use (even if I don't end up using them). :shrug:
I find it very rewarding on the one hand, just like I find any other form of an creative endeavour. On the other, it can burn a person out if they try to do too much within a short period of time ( gam-mak jams/releasing demos etc. )
I do want to release a full pixel-based resource pack one day though. And get some money out of it.

I'm in the same boat, I honestly love fitting all the little pieces in tilesets too and how they look when they're all in there if that makes any sense.
