minimal_8 - 1bit 8x8 retro assets
A downloadable asset pack
_about_
minimal_8 is a top-down, 1-bit, 8x8 (or more like 7x7) tileset with a strong retro/roguelike vibe. The assets are designed for medieval RPGs, roguelike, or TBS (Turn-Based Strategy) games with a strong aesthetic. The minimalism of the tiles, paired with different colors, can fit many biomes and environments while maintaining consistency.
This is a V1.X! minimal_8 is under active development, and I am planning to release updates regularly (see the roadmap for what's next!)
- The free version of minimal_8 can be used for your non-commercial projects. Please credit me, and feel free to notify me if you use it!
- The reward version is the SAME as the free version. The difference is that it is licensed under CC BY 4.0. You can use it for both commercial and non-commercial projects. Attribution is required :). More info about the license here.
The reward version is a way for you to support my work. Some of you have financially contributed to the creation of minimal_8, and I am very grateful for that. Creating this asset pack takes time, and if I could one day make a living from it, I would be the happiest person in the world!

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!
This is such a good pack! Donated to keep it going! Thanks for making a really cool one.
Thank you so much!!
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.
Cheers from a fellow pixel artist!
