🏚️ 50 Post-Apocalyptic 2D Game Backgrounds (Royalty-Free)
Hey everyone! After two music packs (Medieval Battle Music and Nordic Hearts), I'm branching out into visuals with my first 2D background pack on Itch.
What's inside:
- 50 unique backgrounds in 1920x1080 (Full HD)
- Stylized comic-illustration look, consistent across the whole pack
- PNG format, flat single-layer
- Commercial license included
- Currently 50% off as a release special ($3.49 instead of $6.99)
Quick note: the backgrounds are AI-generated and manually refined, color-corrected and quality-checked. Mentioning it upfront so it's clear.
The pack covers a wide range of post-apocalyptic environments: ruined cities, abandoned interiors, frozen wastelands, scorched battlefields and overgrown civilization (airport terminals, hospital corridors, flooded streets, subway stations, cathedral interiors and more). All scenes share the same art style and color grading, so they cut together cleanly within a project.
One detail worth mentioning for devs: each scene has an open foreground area along the bottom, designed to leave room for character sprites and UI overlays without covering important elements. Aimed at survival games, narrative adventures, point-and-click titles, visual novels and dystopian RPGs, but also useful for trailers, cutscenes and tabletop sessions.
Feedback is very welcome, especially from devs working on visual novels or 2D narrative games. If there's a specific environment, biome or setting you'd want to see in a follow-up pack, let me know.
