# DESIGN.md · Kenney game assets (Tiny Dungeon) (GP-007)

> Written for AI coding agents. Values marked **OFFICIAL** come from the documented source named below; values marked **ESTIMATED** were measured by us from our own screenshots and are approximate. Never treat ESTIMATED values as official brand tokens.

## Overview
- Type: Game Asset Library · Category: K. Gaming and Pixel Art
- Platforms: Web
- Color theme: Monochrome light · Layout pattern: Split hero · Mood: Friendly, tidy, generous
- License / terms: CC0 1.0 (public domain) for all assets on Kenney’s asset pages; attribution not required; the Kenney logo is reserved

Large free library of 2D, 3D, UI, pixel and audio game assets released as CC0. Tiny Dungeon (shown here) is 130 16×16 pixel tiles for roguelikes; our scene is built from it.

### Analysis (ours)
Our capture of the Tiny Dungeon page on kenney.nl: light gray page, tags and metadata (category, tile size 16×16, 130 files, licence CC0) on the left, a big preview sheet on the right, and a single Download button. Strength: every fact you need (size, count, licence) sits next to the download. Risk: none on licence; just keep packs in one visual family (Kenney’s ‘Tiny’ packs share a look).

### Best practices (ours)
- Use CC0 Kenney packs when you need art you can ship anywhere with zero paperwork; credit ‘Kenney’ if you want, never the logo (OFFICIAL, https://kenney.nl/support).
- Keep the License.txt from the zip in your project for provenance (OURS; the Tiny Dungeon zip includes one).
- Scale 16×16 tiles by whole numbers (3×, 4×) with image-rendering:pixelated; the packed tilemap uses 27 colours, so adding colours breaks the look (ESTIMATED, our count).
- Mix packs from the same Kenney series (e.g. ‘Tiny’) so tile size and outline style match (OURS).

### Deep analysis
Values marked OFFICIAL come from the cited official page, README, licence file or package metadata, fetched 2026-10-24 (UTC+8). ESTIMATED values were measured by us that day (CSS file sizes from unpkg, class and colour counts, contrast ratios). OURS is our interpretation, not legal advice.

#### Licence (OFFICIAL) · source: https://kenney.nl/support
- ‘All game assets on the asset pages are public domain licensed (CC0). You’re free to use them, even in commercial projects.’
- ‘Attribution is not required … mentioning “Kenney”. Do not use our logo.’
- Tiny Dungeon License.txt: CC0, created 05-07-2022, ‘free to use in personal, educational and commercial projects’.

#### Tiny Dungeon facts (OFFICIAL) · source: https://kenney.nl/assets/tiny-dungeon
- Tags rpg, roguelike, dungeon, sewer, pixel; category 2D · Tiny; tile size 16 × 16; 130 files; version 1.0, released 2022.

- tilemap_packed.png is 192 × 176 px (12 × 11 tiles) using 27 colours (our count); Tiles/ holds 132 PNGs in our download.

#### Pitfalls and lessons (OURS) · source: https://kenney.nl/assets
- CC0 means no strings, but it also means anyone can use the same tiles: customise palette or add your own hero sprites to stand out.

- Attribution: Not required; ‘Kenney’ if you credit; don’t use the Kenney logo
- Redistribution: Yes (CC0)
