Create games, write interactive stories, and build animations!

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:
We’ve been working on a new and improved version of Gamefroot for the past few months, and it’s finally ready to unveil. Gamefroot 2.1 is a quite a change from the older version of Gamefroot.
This new version boasts a brand new HTML5 game engine, a new visual coding editor powered by Google Blockly, and an improved user interface. We’ve taken the emphasis away from forcing our users to make platform games – now you can make any kind of game you want, as long as you create or choose the assets and scripts you need. Gamefroot is now a blank slate, awaiting your command.
New features include:

We’ve spent the past few days putting together the free game assets from Glitch and adding them to the Gamefroot Marketplace. The massively multiplayer game “Glitch” shutdown in 2012, and the developers have since released the game art for free. Thank you Tiny Speck for all these great assets!
Tiny Speck, Inc., the game’s developer, has relinquished its ownership of copyright over these 10,000+ assets in the hopes that they help others in their creative endeavours and build on Glitch’s legacy of simple fun, creativity and an appreciation for the preposterous. Go and make beautiful things.
You can find scenic backgrounds, tools, resources, collectibles, food, toys, furniture, and characters from Glitch all on the Gamefroot Marketplace for free.
We hope you guys can make some interesting games using this excellent resource.
Go and make beautiful games!
