Free sprite packs

Free for any use (CC0)

The sounds are released under CC0 1.0: use them in any project, commercial or not, change them and share them, without asking and without crediting anyone.

Using them in your game

Use WAV in Unity, in any audio editor and for short sounds in Godot; OGG for Godot's ambient loops and for browser games; and MP3 as a fallback for browsers. The ambient sounds, Force field and Portal are loops: set them to loop in your engine and they repeat without a gap.

Questions

Can I use these sound effects in a commercial game?

Yes. Every sound is released under CC0 1.0, so you can use it in commercial or personal games, videos, streams and apps, change it, and share or sell what you make with it. You can also pass the files on as they are.

Do I have to credit SpritePilot?

No. Credit is welcome but never required, in the game, its store page or anywhere else.

Which format should I use: WAV, OGG or MP3?

WAV is lossless, 16 bit at 48 kHz: use it for editing, in Unity, and for short sounds in Godot. OGG is much smaller: use it for the ambient loops in Godot and in browser games. MP3 plays everywhere and works as a fallback in browsers. For loops, use WAV or OGG: MP3 files carry a little silent padding that can make a loop skip.

How do I make the ambient sounds loop?

Turn looping on in your engine. In Godot, select the OGG file, tick Loop in the Import dock and press Reimport. In Unity, tick Loop on the Audio Source. In Phaser, play the sound with loop set to true. The files are cut to repeat without a gap or a click.
