In their own words
Cocos Store
Cocos Store is a marketplace for developers using Cocos Creator, listing code, plugins, UI assets, applications, artwork, music, sound effects, tools, and other resources. The catalog includes free and paid items, with prices varying by listing; paid resources start at $1.99 one-time. Users can search and filter by category in the Dashboard Store or browse sections for recommendations, recent updates, and free and paid rankings. Listings show Creator version compatibility, and Creator 2.x and 3.x plugins are not directly compatible unless the developer supports both. Purchased resources can be downloaded through the Store built into Cocos Creator; the user guide specifies Creator version 2.3.4 or later for retrieving purchases and updates. Dashboard can add extensions and media to projects, create projects from source-code resources, or save tools locally. Cocos Creator combines an engine, resource management, scene editing, preview, and publishing for 2D and 3D development. The storefront page may prompt users to open CocosDashboard. Cocos identifies Xiamen Yaji as its company and lists Xiamen and Beijing as its headquarters.
Kenney Assets
Kenney Assets is a downloadable library of game-development materials, including 2D sprites, 3D models, UI elements, audio, fonts, pixel art, and textures. Individual packs are free to download, while the Kenney Game Assets All-in-1 bundle is a one-time purchase at a minimum price of 19.95 USD. The bundle lists more than 60,000 assets, including over 1,200 sound effects and music loops, plus bitmap and vector fonts. Asset packs use a CC0 public-domain license, which permits commercial projects without requiring attribution. Listed formats include PNG, SVG, OBJ, FBX, GLTF, and OGG, described as compatible with all game engines. An optional launcher for Windows and Linux includes tools for tile extraction and combination, converting files and images, PNG compression, audio processing, and store-thumbnail creation. New packs are added frequently, and updates are free for existing bundle owners. Kenney does not support importing assets into specific game engines, directing users instead to its knowledge base or the engine's documentation and community.
