Free or not, inspired or not, you shouldn't be so lazy as to 100% rip off graphics from another game.  There are clearly 1:1 rip off sprites of Stardew Valley here (the log, ore, coal textures come to mind immediately).  I'm not down for supporting that.  If you are passionate enough to make this game, you should be passionate enough to make it your own.  Please fix.

There are also several graphics used in this that are from the RPG Maker default graphics, of which are only licensed for use with RPG Maker games.

maybe HopFrog will change the graphics of the stuff you guys mentioned in a later update? it is still a demo after all and things could get replaced. I agree on the part where if they were passionate enough for their game they should make their own sprites though  striked it cause current me realizes how stupid younger is was lol

These are all placeholders. We tend to use placeholders for jam games. When you have 2 weeks to make a game, the final product can be a bit rough!


Final version has, of course, 100% original art assets.

Great job! That's good to hear.

that's nice to know :D

skip 325 days latr, still looks like placeholders on the "released" game on steam.
