Kenney is awesome.

OpenGameArt.org (OGA) has a lot of libre/free assets (Kenney often posts on OGA):

Itch.io also has many CC0 and CC-BY licensed assets:

I forgot to mention that Kenney has a cult following. Reddit often labels him as "Asset Jesus" [0].

It looks like there's even a site dedicated to Asset Jesus [1].

Amazing that he's still going after all these years.

Please support him if you use his assets in your game prototypes!... Because by the time you ship a finished game, it will be too late, you'll be completely broke.

Thanks for the good advice. I’m not a game developer but I bought the big sprites pack because he’s been working on it for a lot of years and deserve some compensation.

Can I also recommend Kay Lousberg's work as well: https://kaylousberg.com/

Similar business model and usefulness. A lot of free and you can purchase via itch.

I've used both to prototype many games in Unreal and have bought all their assets.

https://quaternius.com/index.html also worth mentioning.

I bought that pack like 5 or 6 years anymore, I dont even remember. Insane value, even tho all assets are CC0 license, but the amount of work he puts in just made me like to support it. I still sometimes get emails about updates on the pack. One of the rare cases where I feel like did not pay enough for the amount of value.

I am not even a professional game dev, just dabble in it in my free time. But having so many cohesive art assets at your disposal makes it a lot of un.

Cool resource.

Took me a bit to find it, so for anyone curious:

"All game assets found on the asset page are public domain CC0 licensed..."

There is a small FAQ if you click Support at the page bottom.

[gardenerik → ericra]

It is also stated on every asset page :)

This is nice, will allow for some quick prototyping of game ideas without having to build assets first.

Lots of assets, can't thank you enough!

Thanks for sharing this website

What if you run these assets through a Stable Diffusion model (img2img) to generate something else?

[jsheard → Dwedit]

Then you too can join the ranks of people spamming asset stores with low quality AI generated material.

[TiredOfLife → Dwedit]

Nobody knows.

[mavamaarten → Dwedit]

You would get a generic result probably.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know of a website that uses LLMs to generate assets?
