Sprite Shelf: game assets with the fine print attached
A curated directory of indie game asset shops, organized by format and marked with commercial-use guidance.
Field notes
Sprite Shelf organizes game-making resources by production category, from sprites and tilesets to shaders, music, and fonts. Its distinctive layer is the licensing metadata attached to each entry: the visible examples distinguish free CC0 material, commercial use with no stated credit requirement, and commercial use that requires credit. The opening set includes 0x72, Kenney, Einflys, and Elthen's Pixel Art Shop, giving the directory a concrete starting inventory rather than only an empty taxonomy.
