    I thought you might want to add this one to your list, because it has some really cute battlers:

    "It appeared from a swamp" http://kb147.web.fc2.com/index.html
    I might be mistaken, but it looks like their username is Hello Hippo.

    It looks like they allow both commercial and non-commercial usage.


    This one has some good graphical resources, apparently for VX and Ace: http://xxwahrschicksalxx.web.fc2.com/top.html (I'm not sure about their commercial/noncommerical usage, though.)

    The first one is "Appeared from the Pond" and that one's already been translated    .

    Not sure but has Cyanyurikago's blog been updated?
    It seems he/she removed a lot of material and the first thing you see when you go there is this;

    Message from blog
    東方関係の素材だけ残して消すことにしました。
    削除前にDLされた素材画像に関しては利用規約厳守の上、
    引き続き使用していただいて構いません。

    置いてた素材はこっちに移してます→pixivFANBOX

    利用規約の内容を理解されない方の素材利用を固く禁止します。

    It doesn't say when it was posted so I'm not sure if it's just me who haven't been there in a while or if it's a recent change.
    (S)He does mention deleting some stuff there, and some stuff is gone which is a shame. But I'm wondering about the stuff you can still find on the blog if you go through: 　Material　 -->　二次創作系　 (which would lead you here). There is still a lot of stuff there, are all of the material there (categorized under different titles) still free to use in commercial doujin projects?

    Also, the material under 「東方邪神依」, do you know if that is something that relates to the Touhou Project somehow? Because in that case maybe it could be problematic using those resources because of copyright and stuff? Hm... Yeah, I have to say I'm slightly confused since my Japanese is still way to bad for me to trust myself with deciphering the terms of use and finer prints of these J-blogs...

    ...but the resources on that blog is SO good though that it would be a shame not to look into it.

    @Parallax Panda They removed a lot of their stuff last year, but it's still available behind a paywall.
    I just rechecked the terms, but they haven't really changed. They had previously removed the rule that allowed usage of already downloaded resources, but it seems they added that back. (It's just on the homepage and not on the Terms page).

    Yes, those are inspired by the Touhou Project. Its developer actually allows (commercial) doujin fangames, so you can use those resources if you want to.
    As a sidenote the only resources still available are the Touhou inspired ones. All the others have been removed.

    @slimmmeiske2
    What about the material on this blog?
    http://stonelane.blog130.fc2.com/

    I'm specifically asking because I ran into a FSM adapted VxAce sprite on Momope's blog which seems to be a request from "Stone Lane's material". I like the resized sprite but I don't feel good about using it unless I know the ToS of the orignal artists as well.

    Here's the sprite on Momope's blog that I was interested in (Stone Lane's blog is linked in the description): http://momope8.blog67.fc2.com/category18-5.html (I'm refering to the 「=VF=リクエスト①」sprite(s).

    The title of the page states these are RM resources. That said the tiles and sprites are optimized for VX/VXAce (32x32), but the facesets are optimized for MV.

    You can use these resources in free doujin/indie games.
    You can use these in age restricted games. (Again only in doujin/indie games.)

    Hello I was wondering if this site has been translated...

    I could not find it on there so I was just curious if my Google Translate changed it's name.

    Can you check the terms on Mio's music?

    Seems like a fairly straightforward free to use for noncommerical, but wanted to make sure.

    Mio also crossposted the music to a Big Up page (Formerly Muzie). That site has a abbreviated terms of use in both Japanese and English
    【楽曲使用について】 フリー配布のものに限り、ジャンル問わず使用OKです。 自由に使ってやってください(^-^*) もしよかったら、ご使用の際に連絡いただけると嬉しいです。 ぜひ私もその作品を見たい・プレイさせてもらいたいです☆
    Unfortunately, the English looks like a machine translation.
    About music use] As far as those of free distribution, regardless of genre, it is OK to use. Please do it freely (^ - ^ *) If you do not mind, if you can contact us when using it, I am glad. I really want to see the work · I want to play ☆

    Loose Leaf's site has gone down, but it's somewhat accessible via wayback machine. I say somewhat because certain assets aren't usable.

    Just making things clear for me, am I allowed to publish a free game to the Google Play Store that would have no in-app purchases or ads, and it would not be considered a commercial game according to Yurudora's Terms of Use, or do I still have to ask for their permission?

    Has anyone from the English community tried contacting them on using their assets on a commercial game? What were their terms for allowing the use of their resources?

    Also monta!/Milano Cat's site is dead. Does anyone have a backup link to all of his battlers?

    As you can read under "Other rules", they ask you to always let them know if you're using their resources. It doesn't matter if you're making a free game; if you didn't let them know about it, they'll request you take your game down.
    As for the first part of your question, the general consensus is if you're not making money (either by ads or micro-transaction or a donate button on the gamepage or just a paid fee), then it's not a commercial game. But I'm not Yurudora and they don't specify what they do and don't consider commercial usage.

    Even if somebody does, the material is not allowed to be reposted. Have you tried and seen if you can get them through waybackmachine?
