Creating a game is a massive undertaking, and for developers, sourcing the right assets can often be one of the most daunting challenges. From vibrant 2D art to immersive audio, assets are the foundation of every game project, helping developers bring their visions to life. But when it comes to licensing assets, things can get tricky—many marketplaces offer tiered licenses that require paying extra for commercial usage, inflating costs.
At
GameDev Market, we believe in keeping things simple. With a single-tier licensing model that includes
commercial usage rights upfront, we’re making it easier (and more affordable) for developers to build the games they dream of. Here’s why our approach stands out, and why more than
28,000 assets on our platform offer incredible value to game developers around the world.
Say Goodbye to Tiered Licenses
One of the biggest pain points for developers using some asset marketplaces is tiered licensing. Often, you’ll find that an asset is priced affordably—until you look closer and realise that the license you purchased doesn’t cover commercial use. Need those rights to monetise your game? Prepare to pay an additional fee, which in some cases, could be a significant increase.
At GameDev Market, every asset you purchase comes with
commercial usage rights by default.
Whether you’re prototyping your first project, preparing an indie game for release, or adding polish to a AAA title, the license you get covers it all. There’s no need to worry about hidden costs or upgrading your license later. The price you see is the only price you pay.
A World of Assets at Your Fingertips
Affordability isn’t the only reason developers love GameDev Market. Our marketplace boasts a library of over
28,000 assets, offering a diverse range of creative resources. Need beautifully designed
2D sprites or atmospheric
3D environments? Or maybe you’re searching for the perfect
soundtrack or impactful
sound effects? We’ve got you covered.
Having access to such a variety of assets allows developers to focus on what matters most—gameplay and innovation—while saving time on creating every visual, audio, or UI element from scratch. The breadth of resources available means you’re more likely to find the exact assets you need to match your creative vision.
Making Game Development Accessible
The GDM licensing model is designed with indie developers, hobbyists, and smaller studios in mind. For those working with smaller budgets, paying for a single-tier license that includes full commercial rights can make a world of difference. But affordability isn’t just for beginners—larger studios managing multiple projects can also save significantly by sourcing assets through our store.
