# Credits

Every third-party asset pack used or bundled during development, credited
regardless of whether its licence requires it. Some of them do not require it —
they are here because the work deserves it.

**This file is not the only place credit appears.** Two of the packs are CC BY
4.0, which asks for attribution "in any reasonable manner", and a markdown file
in a source repository is not reasonable for someone who downloaded a build. The
game carries the same list on its own credits screen (Settings → Credits), built
from `src/core/credits.gd`; `tests/unit/test_credits.gd` asserts the two agree.

## In the game

**16x16 DungeonTileset II** — [0x72 (Robert Norenberg)](https://0x72.itch.io/dungeontileset-ii)
Terrain, player, enemies and boss sprites.
[CC0 1.0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) — public domain.
*Credit not required.*

**Complete UI Essential Pack** — [Crusenho Agus Hennihuno](https://crusenho.itch.io/complete-ui-essential-pack)
Buttons, panels, bars and inventory slots. Used unmodified; a subset of the
pack's individual sprites is committed under `assets/sprites/ui/`.
[CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

Bullet sprites. Custom licence; *credit encouraged, not required.*
Not distributed with this repository — see below.

Impact effect artwork. Custom licence; *credit encouraged, not required.*
Not distributed with this repository — see below.

## Present during development, not used in the game

Kept in the untracked `assetpacks/considering_dont_use_yet/` and referenced by
nothing. Credited for completeness.

**RF Catacombs v1.0** — Szadi art. Public domain per the pack's bundled
`public-license.txt`: free for personal or commercial use, credit appreciated
but not required, no reselling of the pack itself.

**Tiny RPG Character Asset Pack 02** and **neo_zero** (v1.0 and 3.0 demo) —
creators not recorded in the packs themselves. If either is ever used, record
the source and terms here first.

## Why two packs are not in this repository

Both bdragon1727 packs forbid redistribution, in **every** tier:

> Free tier: "You cannot do: Resell / redistribute this asset."
>
> Paid tier: "You can NOT re-distribute the file, no matter how much you modify
> it you can use it but not share or re-sell it."

A public repository distributes what it contains, so those files live in the
untracked `assets/local/`. The game falls back to generated placeholders
without them. See [docs/ASSETS.md](docs/ASSETS.md).
