It is worth noting that the asset description says this music will cause a Youtube copyright strike. If you use this music in your game and a player uploads a gameplay video to Youtube they will get flagged for using copyrighted music.

I new to this, after purchase, how to download the music out? Must install unity engine?

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes.

  1. Either open an existing project or create a new one in Unity Hub
  2. Open menu Window > Package Manager
  3. Select My Assets in the drop down in top left corner
  4. If you don't have many assets it will be shown, otherwise use the search function in the upper right corner
  5. Select the asset in the left panel
  6. Press Download button and wait
  7. Now press the Import button and wait
  8. Ensure everything is selected in the new dialog and press the new Import button - and wait

The music is now imported into your project.
As part of the import process, the downloaded .unitypackage is unpacked into its individual .wav files.
You can now use them inside Unity or go hunt for them in your file system.
You'll find them in a Project tab under Assets > Discovery Cinematic Music Pack

Far as I remember, the standard Unity Store license doesn't limit assets to be used only with Unity.

And thanks for all the posts. I love hoarding assets even if I will never use them. :D

I believe you are correct.

But worth noticing the comment from patrickmaher (https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/gXM5E/free-gamedev-materials/search?page=32#9P4k1Js), that you actively have to be whitelisted to use e.g. the music for a trailer on YouTube - and this will not apply to 3rd party.

And I do also hoard assets - for that day in the future when I start making games :)

Are you asking about the "POLYGON Battle Royale - Low Poly 3D Art by Synty" package ?

You'll also have to use Unity to download and extract the files.

The assets are packed in Unity format (.prefab and .mat). Probably a format GameGuru can't recognize.

However Synty does also supply the source model files in FBX format, and textures as PNG.
But they don't seem to be "connected" (the models don't have textures). You'll have to do this manually.

Unity does however have a FBX Exporter package that might help exporting the prefabs as FBX and with texture.

A general approach can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdpCcEBFWs

You have to use the reply function under the comment you are talking about, otherwise no one knows which specific thing you are talking about. Or at least write the title of the thing you are talking about.

You've made multiple threads before and have replied to users so surely you know how to reply to someone, not just type a whole new comment where no one can link to what you are referring to.

If you mean the itch.io sounds, it's a yes, if you mean the unity deal for the assets, it's a no unless you download and convert them, and I don't think unity's license allows you to use it in a different engine(nor do other engines do this), so I'd say no. You could of course go against the license, but you'd still have to convert the formats to the ones gameguru uses, which will be a pain. So yes, but no.
