When using free game assets, crediting the artists is an important way to acknowledge their work and respect their licensing terms. Here’s how you can credit artists for free game assets:

Game Credits Sequence: Include a credits section in your game that lists all the asset sources and creators. This is a common practice and shows appreciation for the artists’ contributions1.
Code Comments and Documentation: When integrating assets into your game’s code, add comments that attribute the original creators. This is especially helpful for assets that require modification or integration with other code1.
Game Website and Social Media: Prominently mention the creators and sources on your game’s website, social media, or any promotional material. This gives visibility to the artists and can also serve as a form of promotion for them1.
Direct Contact: If possible, contact the asset creators to confirm their preferred name and format for attribution. This ensures that you are crediting them in the way they wish to be recognized1.

Remember, the specific way to credit can vary depending on the license of the assets. Always check the licensing details for each asset you use. Some may require specific wording or formats for attribution, while others might not require attribution at all. If in doubt, it’s best to reach out to the creator for clarification. Respecting these terms not only honors the creators’ work but also protects you from potential legal issues. Happy developing!
