Also covered: a free modular cave kit from Kenney, PBR material bundles, a now-free VectorGen real-time procedural vector field generator from JangaFX, the open-sourced source code for the game Unturned on GitHub, and the Carbon game engine (powering Eve Online) open-sourced by Fenris Creations under mostly MIT licenses. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is the source code for the game Unturned available for free? Yes, Smartly Dressed Games has made the Unturned source code and project files freely available on GitHub as a Unity project, allowing developers to build new features or total conversions of the game using the released codebase. _Track open-sourced game projects like Unturned as they surface on daily.dev._ ### What is Carbon, the game engine used by EVE Online? Carbon is the game engine framework behind EVE Online and EVE Frontier, open-sourced by Fenris Creations (formerly CCP Games). It is a collection of frameworks rather than a single engine, including Trinity for rendering, Destiny for simulation and physics, Core as the backend, a Scheduler component, and an IO networking layer refined over 23 years. Most components are MIT licensed, with Core under the Python license. _Developers exploring proven multiplayer architecture can follow open source engine releases like Carbon on daily.dev._ ### Is Jangaffx's Vector Gen software now free to use? Yes, Jangaffx removed the licensing from Vector Gen and made it available at no cost, following a right-to-repair-inspired philosophy that software should live on even after a company stops actively selling it. Vector Gen is a real-time procedural vector field generator for VFX artists, letting users import objects to compute particle flows, create turbulence, and build node-based mathematical and artistic particle motion. _VFX artists weighing free versus paid procedural tools can follow releases like Vector Gen on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#unity](https://daily.dev/tags/unity), [#unreal-engine](https://daily.dev/tags/unreal-engine), [#godot](https://daily.dev/tags/godot) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/july-free-game-assets---vfx-software---source-code-more--a0lemmmrg) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"July FREE Game Assets - VFX Software - Source Code & More!","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/july-free-game-assets---vfx-software---source-code-more--a0lemmmrg","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/july-free-game-assets---vfx-software---source-code-more--a0lemmmrg"},"datePublished":"2026-07-14T14:20:49.486Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:31:42.517Z","description":"A roundup of free game development assets and tools available in July, including three Unreal Engine assets (a stylized medieval village, animated tree...","image":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NCR2DQ9Haaw/sddefault.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NCR2DQ9Haaw/sddefault.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Gamefromscratch","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Gamefromscratch","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--EcPfFcSs--/f_auto/v1724391677/logos/gamefromscratch","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/gamefromscratch"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/july-free-game-assets---vfx-software---source-code-more--a0lemmmrg","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"open-source,game-development,unity,unreal-engine,godot","timeRequired":"PT9M","video":{"@type":"VideoObject","name":"July FREE Game Assets - VFX Software - Source Code & More!","description":"A roundup of free game development assets and tools available in July, including three Unreal Engine assets (a stylized medieval village, animated tree...","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NCR2DQ9Haaw/sddefault.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-07-14T14:20:49.486Z","duration":"PT9M","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/A0lEMmmRG","embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/NCR2DQ9Haaw"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Gamefromscratch","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/gamefromscratch"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"July FREE Game Assets - VFX Software - Source Code & More!"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/july-free-game-assets---vfx-software---source-code-more--a0lemmmrg#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is the source code for the game Unturned available for free?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, Smartly Dressed Games has made the Unturned source code and project files freely available on GitHub as a Unity project, allowing developers to build new features or total conversions of the game using the released codebase.
