Asset Resources for Making Computer Games
If you don’t have the time or skills to create your own game assets - such as sprites, backgrounds, tiles and sounds, there are a number of websites where you can download game assets for free from.
Here is a list of websites that we recommend:
- https://opengameart.org/
- https://www.kenney.nl/
- https://itch.io/game-assets/free
- https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/
If you want an asset pack to work with while you follow our 2D Shooter Game Design Series - feel free to download the following zip folder that has enough sprites to get you started.
