No.

In before nogame "devs" tell you to stop using unity altogether.

Treat them like "extras". Use them to pad out the spots where you don't expect your player to look. Don't make them the main feature of any part of your world.

Stop using unity altogether.

They're fine as test assets, although once the game develops more you really should make your own assets. Kinda like >>15410998 says. They're more for experimentation if anything.

implying the nigger gamer cattle downloading your shitware can tell if it's an asset store skin

> is it okay to use garbage if I'm making garbage?

Each element of a game to be designed by you yourself is a chance for you to pour your creative energy into it and to make something that's unique to your vision of the game and that's also simply an expression of your unique sense of creativity. When you use pre-made assets in a game, that's less of the game that's been made to reflect your actual personal creative vision and energy.

Also, don't make fucking asset flip shovelware, you dummy. What are you, a pajeet?

I don't know much about Unity or asset licenses but I thought Unity Chan was free to use in any project without licensing

When you're first learning how to use it and then almost never again

If it fits into the game, why not? Would be just stupid to take the time to make something similiar on your own when it already exists.

Fucking Nodevs around here don't know how to save time is the most important aspect of game-development.

There is literally nothing wrong with asset flipping.

I've got nothing against indie devs buying some generic assets like rocks or household appliances, since there probably won't be much difference in quality, but if all the art is bought then it's going to look bad because they lose a sense of consistency. Asset flips are a totally different devil, where both the content and the code of the game is taken from the store, slapped together, then sold for a profit without any consideration.

Yeah it's a shame that normalfags have no self-respect.

You need to create an equal amount or more assets to the free assets you use. Better if it was all original but if it can cut down on cost, make sure you put more effort in other areas. Buying assets is not a be-all replacement for work, just the tedious kind.

Yeah, use Godot instead, what are you waiting for :^)

If graphics are basically an extra, a GUI frontend on a roguelike, for instance.

I'm sure as Hell not playing your game, Pajeet

>>15410933

it's all about how you use them. marlow briggs and lost soul aside both heavily utilize premade assets
