Game Assets For Open Source Games?

Posted by simoniker on from the nes-sprite-rips-not-counted dept.

Ron Harwood writes "As a developer of an open source game - and having zero artistic talent - I find one of the biggest challenges is finding graphics (and potentially sounds) that can be distributed freely. Are there any good repositories of game assets (tiles, sprites, 3D meshes, sounds, music, etc.) out there?"

  1. Have to plug my own project by MrAndrews · · Score: 4, Informative
    (You understand I can't pass up an opportunity like this to plug my own project. I'm sorry it's so self-serving)

    I've recently 'opened' the creative guts of my animated series (including concepts, technologies, artwork etc), and am in the process of releasing content bit by bit, and it so if you're interested, you can use and modify the stuff already up there at Dustrunners.com or request new assets in the games stream on the site.

    It's just getting rolling, but I'm sure there's something there that could help you...

    Is there a site that has the art and game ideas where the people are looking for programmers to make their game?
    Check out the forums at garagegames - there are heaps of people in there with great ideas just DYING for people like you.

    Don't give me "I can't draw" like you're proud of it or something.

    The last new programming language or algorythm you worked on took studying, right?

    visit Learn To Draw and surprise yourself!

    you might not end up with the mona lisa, but you'll finish up with something better than the nothing you have right now.

    When your game looks reasonable, there will be a better chance of attracting an "artist" to help you.
