Often, a developer comes up with an idea for a game, but lacks the art resources. Oddly, not everyone is an artist. But, that doesn’t have to stop you. For this post, I’ll show one resource that I found useful in my own apps.

The site is: Kenney.nl.

There are also some sound effects and musical cues available on the page. Many of the assets are available for free, but there are several packs of assets that can be purchased for a relatively small fee. If you are have ideas for a project, but you are struggling to create the art for it, this is a good place to start. The art isn’t always perfect, but it is a good start and if your idea is solid then the art will work well enough to get your project out the door. I also know of some people that use the art to prototype their games so they can get things working while someone is creating the art they plan to use.

The best part about these assets – the license doesn’t require a charge or even credit for any usage – even commercial. For a small indie developer that alone makes it worth looking at.
