Right on the store page, I noticed this screenshot with a ripped icon from Ragnarok Online? I assume (hope) that it was accidental, so... might wanna change the game's icon set to one that doesn't use rips from other games.

Er, it is? I don't play Ragnarok Online, so I wouldn't know, and the site I got the icons from didn't mention anything about that... Could you tell me which icon it is so I can change it?

The one in question is for the RO "Mastela Fruit" item. http://i.imgur.com/cg4mXJs.jpg

Did you happen to use the notorious "Big Icon Set"? That one uses rips from Fire Emblem, Ragnarok, and various artists, so you might want to look at an alternative set of icons if that's the case.

Thank you for notifiying us!

Sorry for the late reply; this week is a busy one for me. Anyway, my reaction to what you said is pretty much the same as the green dude from this animation: http://hail-nekoyasha.deviantart.com/art/StinkBag-22398199 Needless to say, I'm kinda freaking out. XD

Anyway, I do not know if the icon set I used is the notorious "Big Icon Set" or not, but here is the link to where I got them: http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/5095-object-character-sets/ Is this the "Big Icon Set"? If not, how many of these icons do you know are copyrighted? Like, I don't doubt what you're telling me is true, but I'd rather not go back and redo every single icon for my game unless they are ALL stolen from copyrighted material.

Either way, as soon as we find out which icons need to be replaced (which could mean all of them), then I will replace them with original or commissioned pixel artwork. And, again, thank you SO much for letting us know. :)

I get that it happens; a lot of people will upload 'resources' without telling people what the sources of the materials are, which is a shame. (I'd hope that if I was in a similar situation, someone would point it out to me.)

That isn't the set that I was specifically talking about, but it certainly does have a number of rips in there. In situations like that, it's best to err on the side of caution, in my opinion. The person said they didn't know where the majority of the work came from, which is a pretty big red flag.

If you haven't already had a look, there's a large list of icon resources on the official forums http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/27484-icons-and-balloons/ that might have some things you can use, uploaded by the actual artists. The last time I looked, a lot of them were free for commercial use.

You, my dear Marmalade, are a lifesaver. >w< Part of the reason I was freaking out was over where I would get new icons! I'll get onto replacing the icons accordingly.

Good luck with it! :3

Just uploaded a version of the game which gets rid of the majority of the icons I used, including the Ragnarok Online one. I'm working on updating the screenshots now. :D
