What a good game credit says

A credit tells players who made an asset and lets them find it. Creative Commons recommends naming four things: the title, the author, the source and the license, with a link to the license. This tool writes all four for every asset, and adds a note when you changed the asset.

Licenses in the list

CC0 needs no credit, but naming the author is kind and helps others find the work. CC BY 3.0 and 4.0 need a credit with the license, and a note if you changed the asset. CC BY-SA also needs your changed version of that asset to be shared under the same license. OGA-BY 3.0 from OpenGameArt is close to CC BY. MIT is for code and asks you to include its copyright and license text. CC BY-NC and CC BY-NC-SA do not allow commercial use, so the tool warns you. For anything else, pick Custom and type the license yourself.

Where to put the credits

Put the credits screen text in your game's credits or about screen. Ship CREDITS.txt next to your game files, and put CREDITS.md in your repository or on your store page. If an asset page asks for a credit in a certain form, follow that page.

Can I use non-commercial (NC) assets in a paid game?

Not without separate permission from the author. CC BY-NC and CC BY-NC-SA allow only non-commercial use. A paid game, a game with ads or in-app purchases, or a demo of a paid game is usually treated as commercial. Ask the author or replace the asset.

Is the Game Credits Generator free?

Yes. Every license, the credits screen text, CREDITS.txt and CREDITS.md are free, with no account and no limit.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Your list is kept in this browser with local storage, and the files are made on your device.

Game Credits Generator is a free browser tool for indie game developers. Game credits generator: list assets with author, source and license (CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA, OGA-BY, MIT) and get a credits screen, CREDITS.txt and CREDITS.md.

Add every asset you used: its name, the author, where you got it and its license. The tool writes the credits text for your in-game credits screen, a CREDITS.txt and a CREDITS.md, grouped by art, music, sound, fonts and code. Pick a non-commercial license and it warns you before you ship a paid game with it. Everything stays in this browser.
