Cocos Store vs Quaternius

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.

Quaternius is a web catalog of game assets for personal, educational, and commercial projects. Its asset types include 3D models, animations, textures, source files, characters, environments, props, weapons, vehicles, and game kits, with packs covering characters, nature, animated assets, buildings, and vehicles. The QAL license is perpetual and royalty-free, allowing users to use, modify, and incorporate assets without attribution. It does not allow the assets themselves to be resold or redistributed as standalone files, packs, stock files, or templates. The Ultimate Animated Animal Pack contains 12 animals, each with more than 12 unique animations, in FBX, OBJ, glTF, and Blend formats. Models can be edited in Blender, and textures commonly use atlases. Free downloads cost nothing; paid Patreon tiers start at $10 a month.
