Share any assets you make freely available in the comments. Art, Sound, Music, etc.
Remember: If you use 3rd party Audio or Graphics, or assets you’ve made prior to the event, you’re asked to opt-out of the respective categories (i.e. Audio, Graphics). That way, it’s more fair to people creating original assets during the event. You can opt-out by clicking the “opt-opt” checkboxes when you submit your game. *NEW*
Don’t Forget: The “Compo” is a from-scratch event. Assets found here are JAM ONLY!
Oh, and I’ve got a BIG surprise for you.
Featured Exclusive Audio for the Jam
Robert del Naja of the band MASSIVE ATTACK has generously contributed an entire CD of unreleased music for you to use in your Jam games.
10 Tracks, with full stems for the musically inclined. Perfect for remixing, mastering, and butchering to your hearts content (real-time mixing in game anyone?). If that’s not your deal, I’ve provided a RAW mixdown of each track (NOTE: I AM NOT A PRO), 10 WAV files ready to be encoded in your favourite compressed format (OGG, MP3, AAC, FLAC?).
The music is provided under the terms of the Creative Commons ‘NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International‘ license. That means you’re free to do whatever, as long as give credit, and what you make is free (i.e. non commercial).
A huge huge thank you to Robert del Naja and Andrew Melchior for making this possible.
Downloads
Music (a raw mix of each): FLAC (195 MB), WAV (350 MB)
Music Stems (each song broken down in to tracks): WAV (2.1 GB)
Extras (Wallpapers!)
Robert del Naja has also kindly provided some photographs of his graffiti work. I’ve prepared some 1920×1200 wallpapers of them here:
For those with screens of enormous DPI, you can grab higher res here: 1987, 1988, 1989.
Looking for More? Here are Ludum Dare 30’s Assets:

Could you also link to the previous LD’s post on free game assets (that aren’t necessarily made by the community)? And if there’s gonna be some post about Ludum deals, they could be kept here too.
IMO a megapost about freely/cheaply available swag is better than scattered posts that get lost in the blog somewhere. Easier to find and update one compilation for future LDs too.
FREE AUDIO ASSETS
Guys, to show my support for the indie game dev. community I decided to create a page on my site with over 80 commercial quality music and SFX files that are available for download for free. Put those babies to good use!
Enjoy!!!

PROCEDURAL INPUT TOOL
Record game actions, then play them back! Great for making clones of the player or having allies who mimic you.

Pixel assets
You can use anything from here: https://github.com/shvelo/robot-story
I’m not good at drawing but maybe it can be useful.

A bunch of tracks that I have made as practice and have no use for. Go nuts. Feedback is also appreciated.
Sos music is free for everyone to use! No credit required! Let me know if you can’t download something!
There are a couple of drummy chippy tunes and a lot of instrumental atmospheric goodness for your art games on later pages! Check it out!

I’m no expert, but feel free to use any of my tracks.
Just drop a comment in on SoundCloud if you do, as I’m curious to see if anyone will use them.
Credit in your entry would be appreciated.
Thanks, and happy coding!

And 3 tutorials as well:

Curious: In the past, owned drum loops and sound sample libraries were allowed to be used to make soundtracks for the compo? Or did I misunderstand that? If it was allowed, before, is it still allowed now?
A curated list of some great Unity assets for anyone planning to make a Unity game for Ludum Dare. I’m also looking for additions to the list, so feel free to submit pull request or issue and I’ll check it out.

Great asset ! Thanks to Ludum Dare and Robert del Naja ! I listen all of it and most of tracks sound great for a game !
I’m downloading the stems and I’ll take a look inside to be ready in 3 days if needed. 😉
All 10 tracks are amazing and really suitable for games. Thank you Rob!!! and all involved
This is amazing. Thank you very much, we’ll put this on a good use and mix
So if we just use these as samples, and mix them in interesting ways that set it enough a part from the original, does that count as an original work and useable for the compo as long as we do it within the 48?
I’d say yes, as it would be no different than other sampling, but whether sampling is a creative process is a neverending discussion offcourse.
The updated rules have some good examples on how to think of derivative art. I think that would answer your question.
Ohhh, updated rules, nice. Much better to whoever touched them up.
And from what I’m thinking about then yes it will be ok. But who is to say that I’ll use them anyways.
That’s amazing! Almost makes me want to enter the jam. Almost :p
Real time interactions and deep deep audio….. nice werk 😀 😀 😀
You guys are all awesome!!! <3 <3 <3
Perfect, something to listen to at the coffee shop instead of ruddy Christmas music.
