Hi Rachel :)

I am surprised to see such comment , that is something I was not expecting at all, I see that your assets page is different than before and all the old ones are gone , including your tarot cards and gui's for tyrano builder. 😥

I do miss seeing the Ice cream mini pack and some others.

(I am so glad to keep everything I buy from itchio on my computer or on a usb.)

I noticed ratings are gone too, I believe I understand your reason for that.

If that is really alright for you to gift me 10, then I will say the followings :

It surely makes more than the 6 packs I bought before 😮

I hope you keep all your old backgrounds pack even if you removed them from here.

Good weekend :)

Hi Anwynn! Yes, I’ve renewed my portfolio completely last autumn. I’ve discovered a new method of making backgrounds and grew a lot as an artist, so I’ve decided to gradually remake everything. The old packs will be back, but in new versions (available for free download to everyone who bought the old ones earlier). Several packs are already back, though they may look a bit different, or have slightly altered names. The old versions won’t be available anymore but everyone who bought them has downloaded them already just like you, so there’s no issue. Regarding GUI packs, those had a lot of elements that ultimately weren’t needed (and lacked some others), and most people mistakenly bought them for Renpy. So, I removed them, and I hope to make new ones which will be universal for all engines. And as for the tarot cards, people tried to buy them as assets for their games so I’ve decided to start another shop especially for the purpose (when I have more decks designed). Your ratings are all still there, no worries; they’re just momentarily hidden. Sadly, I had to disable the rating function to protect myself from haters. Thank you so much for your continuous support though, I’m truly grateful! I’m sending you the free download keys. Please claim them as soon as you can so that they’re yours. I’ll also keep you posted when I remake the packs you’ve bought, so you’ll be able to redownload the new versions for free.

Hi again Rachel :)

I understand, you will only do AI backgrounds from now on, they are great too :)

About your gui's , I understand if lot of people mistook them for Renpy gui's, maybe they bought them in a hurry without even reading details and such, Renpy is free so obviously most people making visual novels will use it instead of VN Maker or Tyrano Builder, I was interested in your beautiful Ocean gui you but as my visual novel is in Renpy it would have not have make sense to buy it.

I figured out your removed ratings because of haters, you did the right thing.

Now I am curious as to how those pack will look like with AI art ( the ice cream mini pack too ! even though I did not buy it before. I think I am obsessed with that ice cream pack 🍧 🍨 🍦😅.)

I do remember some old packs and saw your remade them with the AI indeed, I do not have all of them in my mind though.

Thank you so much for all these packs❤️, I have no idea how I will use them yet, if I make another visual novel then I could use depending on the story or as a background/ battle background in a RPG Maker game.

Take care too :)

Hi Anwynn, Sorry for the late response! Ever since I started my full time job, I have very little time left. Yes, Renpy is very popular! I think that’s the most common engine among visual novel makers. I didn’t use it because, I can’t really write code. I used Novelty to learn the process of visual novel making, and then switched Tyranobuilder because it was similar. Regarding gui, I’d like to make general texture and element packs that will let the visual novel makers make their own GUI. I think that’s the best idea. And… I also loved the ice cream mini pack, it was among my favorites from the classical series! I’m working on remaking it but I need some more practice, so far, I wasn’t successful. And welcome, thank you once again for your support! Good luck with your creative projects! -Rachel

Hi Rachel :)

Work (and other life things) are keeping us away from free time no matter what we do in that free time.

Take your time to pratice more for backgrounds images and that is a great idea for gui packs :)
