Kenney Assets in Sceneri
Given the nature of the licensing we have meticulously prepared Kenney assets to be available for all creators within the Sceneri platform. Taking into account scaling as well as other providers and styling we first import the content into Blender and then fix any issues that may exist within the package before compiling and importing into a Sceneri project.
Along with the 3D assets in these projects, Kenney provides numerous assets to develop any type of game you want. While reading the blog, you may have seen some of the 2D imagery used within our “How-to” series to illustrate basic game mechanics.
Beyond our commonly used assets, resources for any type of development can be found at the following links:
- 3D Assets: Everything you can imagine for a simplistic game can be found, whether you are creating an endless runner, rolling ball, racing, or platformer. They have you covered.
- 2D Assets: A good example of a repurposed 2D asset is the Cubely sample, with its geometry remodeled to fit the 3D world of Cubely.
- UI Elements: Nested within the search, you can hone in on specific UI elements for a HUD, in-game dialogue, or full menu elements to polish your game.
- Audio: Ranging from menu interactions, footsteps, and ambient music jingles, you will find a full selection for any type of game you wish to produce.
Licensing
By default, Kenney is CC0 (Creative Commons Zero), which is a public domain dedication that waives all copyright and related or neighboring rights to their work. This means that anyone can use their work in any way they want, without asking permission from Kenney. Overall, CC0 licensing is a powerful tool that can be used to make game development more accessible and creative. That being said, it is always good to give credit and support the creators!
Here are some of the benefits of using CC0 licensing in game development:
- Freedom: It makes your game assets more accessible to other developers.
- Remixing: It allows other developers to modify your game assets to create new and exciting content.
- Fast-tracking: It can help to promote the growth of the game development community.
