Open source - Unity asset store

Seen a lot of people posting about using the Unity Asset store in this jam,..
However, it does NOT allow for redistributing of assets (which is what you do when you show your open source in this way).
Can we get some clarity on this please, and on the open source side of things in general.

For example,.. can I remove certain assets from my source that are free and downloadable, but not to redistribute, and share a link of where these assets can be taken from?

That should be just fine.

how will i delete that?

If you have to delete certain assets from the game before submission whats the point of adding them int he first place?

The game will still have all the free assets from the asset store, but the open source information will have a text file with links to the erased free assets. Your code and everything else will still be available to be seen in your open source.

The whole erasing free assets thing confuses me. Is there a guide i can follow. This is my first Jam

I still need to try this, haven't done this in years. In theory, after you have created your final game. Go to where your game is stored in "Unity Games".  Find your game and make a copy. Open the copy, it will look something like this:

Open the "Assets" file and find all the free assets from the Asset store and delete them.

Remember to create a text file with links to the free assets and add it to this file, zip it up and upload it for the game jam.

Hope this will work.

Won't doing that break the game if it depends on parts of the assets. Also thats nice as to how easy it is

No, because you made a copy of the game, the copied file will become your open source file. You are uploading two different files, one is the game file with the free assets and the other is the open source file with the deleted assets.

The created game file with free assets looks like this:


You cannot see the asset file.
