Getting new assets from the Marketplace

Note: an updated version of this tutorial is here http://gamefroot.com/purchasing-asset-packs-from-the-marketplace/

Every game has to have assets! These are the images, animations, characters, terrain, items, buttons, sound effects, music, and scripts that are used to build your game. You can create your own assets, or you can grab an asset pack from the Marketplace. Most of them are free, and they can be used to quickly make a game. Here’s how:

To get new assets, click on the Marketplace tab in the sidebar.

You’ll see there are heaps of packs to choose from, and their prices are displayed above the pack name. Click on a pack to see what’s inside it.

If you like the assets in this pack, click Purchase. If it’s a free pack you will instantly gain access to the assets, but if the pack has a price you’ll be asked to purchase it.

To start using these newly acquired assets in your game, open the My Resources panel and tick the pack.

This will add it to the sidebar and make all those assets available to use in your game. You’ll need to close the My Resources panel by clicking the Close button in the top-right corner, and then the assets from that pack will be displayed in the sidebar.
