Hi Sailing Ocelot! Thank you so much for your message! Yes, I have removed the classical series, partially because, I felt that those backgrounds weren’t that great, and partially because, the stock websites that I was using to find royalty free photographs and vectors, have suddenly changed their policies regarding the permitted use of their stock. In the past (when I was making those backgrounds and releasing them), it was possible to use photos commercially in any way, but last year, licenses have changed greatly, and a lot of new rules were introduced. As a result, it is not possible for me anymore to use stock from these websites, to make backgrounds and GUI elements, for resale. Law doesn’t work back, but, I always strive to comply with all licenses and policies, so, I removed the assets using that stock, from itch.io, to avoid any potential problem. Now, this doesn’t mean that you cannot use these backgrounds and GUI in your game, you can, as it is still permitted to use that stock in larger creative projects, especially while edited. I just cannot offer them for sale here, as it would be considered some sort of competitive activity. It’s a shame, btw, that they have changed those licenses and policies. In general, this type of situation, shouldn’t be happening, as it is not fair for people that have already used that stock for different purposes. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about this. I have checked what assets you have purchased by your email, and, I have re-enabled the old downloads. Please make sure to download everything today, and write me a comment when you finish, so that I can disable those downloads again, to avoid a situation where someone accidentally buys it. As a side note, one reason why I have switched to AI art, is precisely that, if you use stock from other sources, you always risk that licenses will change, while most AI art, is licensed as public domain, and public domain license cannot be revoked. -Rachel
