Maybe there is a misuderstanding  : I didn't "just" bought the pack like anyone else on itch and reuploaded it on my account (this would be stealing, of course). No, instead I talked to my teammate Noiracide (the author, who works with me on this collection) and agreed with him that he doesn't want to keep this pack anymore. He doesn't plan to update it and prefers to focus on other works, which is understandable. So we made an exchange : I buy him the "rights" of this pack (which is way more expensive that the pack itself) and he removes it from itch. This makes me now the owner and responsible of this pack.

It is in "100% sale" instead of "free" to be able to add it to bundles (that's how itch works). This way, it's easier for users to find and claim, overwize they can miss it.

Of course I'll add more characters in the future, that the reason why I'm making all of this.

If you are still not happy with the situation, well that's a pity. My objective is to provide a complete collection of assets an be able to update them freely since none of my teammates wants to work on it anymore. Have a good day.

My point still remains: you're selling (from a 12 dollars top) a pack of things that you didn't make. You're doing all of this to update it, but if you wanted to do that why reselling it without any update? For now, you're only gaining some money with a bunch of sprites that you didn't make. You know, it kinda seems a "visibility" move more than an "honourable" move

It already has been updated with RPG maker packaging + color swap (of course, that's nothing : just an initial setup). Here's an overview of the complete set to draw for the upcoming  months :


"Visibility" VS "Honourable" : why not both ? I'm running a business but you know I'm redistributing a part of my revenue to the pixelart community since you read my Twitter bio. I'm not tricking anyone, c'mon.

Look, if you want to keep avoiding the main point of this discussion, fine by me. Still mind-blown that, for you, this is normal, but everyone sees things differently, I guess.

I think that buying the ‘license’ to resell this asset was somewhat understandable, considering that they were a team- however, I still do agree that it’s a bit dishonorable to resell the asset as is. The least that you could’ve done is attribute Noiracide in the description of the asset, even if Noiracide was okay without attribution in the agreement you two made. This seems to be hurting your honorability and putting you in a bad light. This is just my input though, I don’t have that much context regarding the scenario.

I agree with the attribution, I'll be clear about it :).
