What it is

OpenGameArt.org is a web-based library for freely licensed game-development assets. It serves free and open source game developers, with 2D art, 3D art, concept art, textures, music, sound effects, documents, and tutorials. Advanced search can filter by title, tags, submitter, art type, license, or sort order. Visitors can create and browse collections, and the community includes forums, comments, leaderboards, Discord, and IRC. Assets can be used in commercial projects when each asset’s license terms are followed. Licenses discussed include Creative Commons Attribution and Share Alike, GNU GPL, and other accepted licenses, whose conditions differ. If attribution instructions are missing, the FAQ recommends crediting the title, author, license, and asset URL. Contributors must upload usable assets; watermarked work and material without an available license are excluded. The site is free on the web.
