FanRealms vs Kenney Assets

FanRealms is a web marketplace and community for indie game creators, built with Godot creators in mind but open to everyone. Members can join free and browse or download assets at no cost. Listings can include sprites, tilesets, shaders, plugins, UI kits, fonts, animations, 3D models, music, sound effects, templates, and complete projects for any engine. Creators upload asset packs for sale, choose a platform fee from 1% to 5% per sale, and pay no monthly or listing fees; the default fee is 5%. Stripe handles payment processing, with a stated fee of about 2.9% + 30¢, and Stripe Connect sends creator earnings automatically to a bank. FanRealms also lists indie games, jobs and gigs for developers, artists, and designers, plus a forum and devlogs. Creators retain ownership and can delete listings. Digital products are usually final sale, though broken or inaccurately described items may receive case-by-case refunds. Payments are secured by Stripe.

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.
