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.
