CC-BY requires crediting the creator, linking to the license, and noting if you changed the asset. Put this in an in-game credits screen or menu, and keep it in any README or game page description too – there is no single mandated format, just that credit must be reasonably visible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CC-BY (and CC-BY 4.0 specifically) requires that you give the creator appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if you modified the asset per creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0<\/a>. There is no mandated on-screen format, so an in-game credits screen, a pause-menu “credits” entry, or the store\/portal description all satisfy it as long as the credit is reasonably easy for a player to find. If you are building the game with an AI coding agent, Playgama MCP<\/strong> lets your agent create the game, upload builds, and publish a sandbox directly from tools like Cursor or VS Code.<\/p>\n
