🏰 50 Medieval 2D Game Backgrounds (Royalty-Free)
Hey everyone! Another background pack for my Itch store, this time back to the past.
What's inside:
- 50 unique backgrounds in 1920x1080 (Full HD)
- 14 matching transparent foreground layers (PNG with alpha channel) for parallax and depth effects
- Stylized comic-illustration look, consistent across the whole pack
- PNG format
- Commercial license included
- Currently 75% off as a release special ($1.75 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 medieval environments: fortified castles, bustling market squares, cozy taverns, working craft shops, rural villages, sacred monasteries and snowy winter scenes (castle great halls, blacksmith workshops, harbors, churchyards, throne rooms 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. 14 of the 50 backgrounds also include a matching transparent foreground layer that can be stacked on top for parallax scrolling and added depth. Aimed at slice-of-life games, narrative adventures, point-and-click titles, visual novels and historical-setting 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.

💎 400 Medieval Jewelry Icons — Amulets, Rings & Brooches (Royalty-Free)
Hey everyone! Another icon pack for my Itch store, this time on the treasure side of things.
What's inside:
- 400 unique icons (160 amulets, 80 brooches, 160 rings)
- 4 pre-exported resolutions: 64×64, 128×128, 256×256 and 512×512
- Stylized comic-illustration look, consistent across the whole pack
- PNG format with transparent background
- Commercial license included
- Currently 75% off as a release special ($0.99 instead of $3.99)
Quick note: the icons are AI-generated and manually refined, color-corrected and quality-checked. Mentioning it upfront so it's clear.
The pack covers a full collection of fantasy jewelry: religious and mystical pendants, decorative medallions, ornate amulets on the amulet side, gemstone and signet rings, plain bands and engraved rings on the ring side, plus 80 detailed heraldic and decorative brooches. All icons share the same art style and palette, so they cut together cleanly within a project.
One detail worth mentioning for devs: each icon is pre-exported in four resolutions, so you can drop the right size straight into your inventory, hotbar or tooltip UI without any rescaling on your end. Icons are grouped into amulets, rings and brooches, making them easy to use as visually consistent loot sets. Aimed at action RPGs, roguelikes, deckbuilders, JRPGs and tactical games, but also useful for tabletop sessions, stream overlays and trailers.
Feedback is very welcome, especially from devs working on RPGs or inventory-heavy games. If there's a specific jewelry type or item category you'd want to see in a follow-up pack, let me know.

🖤 Nordic Hearts - 20 Emotional Viking Tracks (Royalty-Free)
Hey everyone! Following up on my first pack (Medieval Battle Music), I just released my second music pack on Itch.
What's inside:
- 20 original orchestral tracks (~64 min total)
- Melancholic Nordic folk / emotional medieval-Viking atmosphere
- WAV (48 kHz) + MP3 (320 kbps) formats
- Commercial license included
Quick note: the tracks are AI-generated and manually refined, edited and quality-checked. Mentioning it upfront so it's clear.
While my first pack focused on battle and high-intensity cues, this one goes the opposite direction: slow, emotional, atmospheric. Designed for narrative RPGs, exploration and worldbuilding scenes, Souls-likes, dark fantasy and Norse-themed projects. Also works well for cutscenes, trailers and tabletop sessions that need a more reflective or melancholic mood.
Feedback is still very welcome, especially from devs who worked or use royalty-free music regularly. If there's a mood or category you'd like to see covered next, let me know.
