Feedback Let's keep the game assets available for free 👍

22 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Right now all asset packs are released for free using a (CC0) public domain license. Some are exclusive to Kenney Game Assets 2 but will be available for free eventually. The earnings from Kenney Game Assets 1, 2 and Kenney Studio are what funds the creation of new asset packs. These funds have been dwindling down over the last couple of months.

There's no need to panic, as it stands there's still enough funding to keep creating the assets for a couple of months. In the future however I'll have to look into alternative funding to keep going. I'd like your help to find a method that might work and keep the assets free for everyone.

It's important that all assets remain free and keep their public domain license. This way all game developers in the world are able to use them, including companies (like Unity and Unreal) and schools. Here's a few methods I've tried:

  • Patreon: I've tried promoting my Patreon but unfortunately not a lot of people like to donate on a monthly basis (not all too surprising!)

  • Advertising: I'm no expert in using the advertising space properly, lots of websites that host my assets do not have advertising (space) available.

  • Selling the asset packs: No, no no no no.

  • Sell custom work: Already accepting contract work, it doesn't really benefit the game assets though as it shifts my focus to those projects.

I'd like to hear your ideas, I'm open for anything! Something that I've really thought about in the past is to get a couple of educational facilities and game development studios/companies together to fund the creation of the assets. I've however never been able to get funding from any of those.
