very captive post!!
I find these hidden backgrounds confusing. Is there a list of what backgrounds are hidden somewhere? I didn’t know about this before this debate started and I’m not sure which ones I have. And why does Episode approve them? You should not do that if they are not okay to use. It would make it so much easier for us if you did that job correctly. Maybe the straff that does the aproving need to read up on this… just saying.
Unfortunately there’s no list (as well as I’m aware of), but if the background isn’t provided in the art catalog, and it’s clearly Episode made it’s most likelly a hidden asset.
None of us were aware it was this tabu.
I too have edited and shared backgrounds that I’ve had since before all this started, where many of them today probably counts as “hidden”, and they’ve all been approved. I have no plans on errasing any of them (not even sure which is which anymore) and change all my work/stories but will continue to use them untill someone straight out tells me otherwise.
That my friend is the right question. Why indeed?

If they approve them, it’s just a mistake - not intentional. A relatively small team doing that many images per week is bound to have things slip through the cracks.

@PoojaI is correct, you cannot share Episode or Episode edited backgrounds, for free or not. You just can’t do it. You can only use them for your personal use in your stories, but not share them with others.

OMG. I saw one account which takes money for backgrounds. For 2 Ko fis. Is it okay for them?
This depends. If the backgrounds/overlays don’t contain Episode assets then it’s fine. They selling their own created products.
If they DO contain Episode assets, they selling Episode products, which is illegal. You can file a ticket and report them.

Preach! Other games allow you to share edited assets of their game for free and only free like the sims for example. It really angers me that Episode is doing this.

Late to the party but i still have a question. Can i use a background from episode’s catalog in an artwork? If i’m not selling the artwork, and i’m just posting it for fun can i use the background from episode?
