How do you provide credits for assets?

Question

If you are using assets that require credits, how would you provide those credits? Would a link be sufficient enough? And would you put the credits in like a credits screen or somewhere else?

Answer 1

Depends on the license! CC0 licensees don’t require it, and if it’s another license that does like CC4, they generally provide some guidelines. If none are provided it’s a good idea to name what was provided, the name or website of who provided it, and a link if possible.

Thank you! Would I put all this information ins a credits scene or somewhere else like a text file?

It needs to be somewhere that players of your game can see it, so a credits screen or splash screen would be appropriate. Just putting it in a text file probably wouldn't fulfill the license agreement if attribution is required.

Answer 2

I'm thinking about having a page in the main menu that has all the credit to the third party assets

I think that's what I'll do as well

Answer 3

I am going to make a credits button on my main menu and take it to a scrolling page of text with all the credits
