Starsand Island, the charming new "carefree" take on Stardew Valley from Chinese developer Seed Sparkle Lab, is no longer available to purchase on Steam following its creators' use of "visual elements" from another game without permission.
Eagle-eyed fans noted that it had been taken off Valve's platform yesterday, with posts online circulating with questions regarding why it wasn't up on Steam anymore. Now, it seems we've got an answer from Seed Sparkle Lab itself.
In its announcement on the matter, the studio explains it's "due to an oversight during the planning phase," as "certain core visual elements from a classic title were used without proper authorization within our mini-game section."
