In their own words
Game Asset Tool
Game Asset Tool scans a game folder or supported file, then extracts assets detected for its engine. It is a free Windows tool for collecting, previewing and diagnosing assets from visual novels and indie games, with batch extraction available. Built-in workflows cover RPG Maker, Ren’Py, NWJS, Electron, Unity, Godot, KiriKiri, WOLF RPG, TyranoScript, Java/JAR, HTML, QSP and Android APK recovery. Experimental or recovery workflows extend to Unreal PAK, Flash SWF, RAGS, GameMaker data.win, SRPG Studio, Pixel Game Maker MV, SPAK and some unknown formats. Results appear in a searchable gallery with filters, grouping, thumbnail presets and a resizable preview. The tool can create HTML reports that summarize extraction, diagnostics, skipped items, a health snapshot and performance notes. It handles images, video, audio, meshes and loose media, including OBJ models and PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP and TLG5 textures. The maker says extraction works offline and the tool has no telemetry; BepInEx downloads need internet access. Encrypted Godot PCK archives need a valid key, and some protected formats are not fully extracted.
OpenKh
OpenKH brings together technical documentation, tools, code libraries, and modding support for the Kingdom Hearts series. Its documentation covers games and remasters, shared assets, tools, and the OpenKH Game Engine. The Mod Manager installs and manages mods for supported PC ports and PS2 versions of several games. Mods can come from GitHub repositories or archive files, and collections can group assets for multiple titles. Panacea lets users switch mods on and off without overwriting original game files. The guide lists Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Re:Chain of Memories, Birth by Sleep, and Dream Drop Distance as legacy-class games, and says PC releases from Epic Games Store and Steam are supported. OpenKH also includes an Image Viewer for common and Kingdom Hearts-specific formats, including IMD, IMZ, and Birth by Sleep font ARC files; it exports images, while import functions are in development. The engine has basic Kingdom Hearts II support on Windows, Linux, and macOS, including Raspberry Pi. Tools require the.NET 8.0 Runtime. The engine requires the user's original Kingdom Hearts II PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 4 copy. OpenKH is free; the listed plan is free.
