FxGen is a procedural texture generation library and tool to let you implement high resolution textures that fit in kilobytes in your applications.

A quick trip around the net revealed the following resources for royalty free game graphics you can use in your projects:

• GfxLib-Fuzed offers a set of jump'n'run-oriented tilesets and sprites.
• DanC (yo!) has the graphics from old-school vertical shooter Tyrian as well as some nice and almost hideously cute self-crafted tiles over at his great weblog, Lost Garden.
• This page on molotov.nu has an extensive list of links to various RPG-oriented (NetHack et al) tilesets as well as to even more free game graphics resources.

I'm sure there's loads more out there, but this should be a good start.

In other news, my experiments with gosu have so far resulted in a small library that strives to make building games even easier, offering simple actor (sprites, etc.) management with pluggable behaviours. If this thing gets to a point where it's actually useful, I'll put it up on github.

Similar to OGRE, but intended to be much lighter-weight.
