How can I make an asset package for Godot?

fantasy-haven

Hi! I have already created several asset packages, but so far only for Unity3D. Now I would like to make them available for Godot, but unfortunately I don't know how yet.

What exactly would I have to do if I want to offer my package on a site like Itch.io?

With best regards, Fatasy Haven

Welcome to the forums @"Fantasy Haven"!

Godot doesn't have bundled packages like the UnityPackage file used in Unity. Instead, most assets are just the source files zipped and uploaded, so they can be uncompressed and then placed into a Godot project directly. The Godot editor can also unzip projects that have been put into zips as well.

So I think all you would need to do is take the assets you want to offer in a package and zip them, then upload them to Itch.IO! :smile:

if you separated your asset types in different folders in the zip file would be nice. I mean like sounds, fx, enemies, textures, etc into different folders it would be easier to us and understand than one huge un organized folder.

What kind of assets? If they are just art/sound, then you can simply use folders or zips to contain the files (such as PNG images or MP3 sound effects) and allow Godot users to import themselves. This would be the most portable thing (and also, users on other less popular engines could also download your work).
