🛠️ How This Pack Was Made

The artwork is generated with AI tools, then every single background is reviewed and finished by hand in Photoshop - artifact repair, color correction, consistent framing and palette, transparency cutouts, correct sizing and clean file naming. Anything that doesn't meet the bar gets regenerated or fixed by hand.

💡 Notes

All backgrounds are delivered as complete, ready-to-use scenes in a unified art style - drop them straight into your project. Each scene features an open foreground area along the bottom, designed to provide clear space for character sprite placement and UI overlays without obscuring important visual elements. The open scenes keep that floor band level and unbroken across the middle of the frame, wide enough for three characters on each side at a natural size, and foreground objects stay low on purpose so nothing hides a face. Five tight interiors - cockpit, crew cabin, escape pod, habitat module and maintenance tunnel - are deliberately narrow rooms without that band; they are dialogue and cutscene scenes. 13 of the 50 backgrounds include a matching transparent foreground PNG. Laid over the scene it sits in FRONT of your character sprites, so a figure can walk into the picture from the left or right edge behind it. The image itself stays static; this is not a scrolling camera effect. The remaining 37 backgrounds are delivered as flat single-layer PNGs. The battleback folder holds the same scenes at 1000x740, the native battleback size of RPG Maker MV and MZ. Nothing in the artwork carries readable writing, so the scenes work in any language.
