Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone
by Eric Matyas · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 01/10/2017 (12:10 pm) · 187 replies
Hi everyone,
I've been building a library of images that you are welcome to freely use in your projects. They are all original...all my own work. I think a lot of them could be made into cool textures for games. All I ask is to be attributed as indicated on my homepage:
http://soundimage.org/
The images are on my "TXR" pages.
I'm adding new ones all the time, so be sure to check back often. I sincerely hope that some of them are useful. Any and all constructive feedback is welcome and always appreciated. :-)
All the best,
Eric

I hope everyone is safe and healthy. If you have kids (or know someone who does) here's a brand new free resource that I hope is helpful. It's a website for my video learning series, âDuneâs Island.â Within it you can freely access all the episodes, support documentaries and tie-in curriculum (like vocabulary, math problems, writing prompts and more.)In the coming weeks Iâll be expanding the site with all kinds of cool activities and more documentaries so please be sure to bookmark it.

Free looping video clips are on the way that youâll be able to use in games, for website backgrounds, Zoom backgrounds and all kinds of other things.
Hereâs an example of how I used one as a background for my other website:
https://www.dunesisland.org/episodes
I think it really brings the page to life in a way that static images just canât.
Anyhow, Iâll be opening those pages soon. Stay tuned.
