<p>It&#8217;s not just about sounds (<em>apparently there are over 1,000 original sounds and music created by Eric</em>) that you are allowed to use completely free in your games so long as you give him attribution but textures too. That&#8217;s a real bargain.</p>
<p>The texture shown was originally a 2048 x 2048 pixel graphic that I reduced in size for here. It came from, and there are a lot of other seamless metal textures on <a title="Link to seamless metal textures" href="https://soundimage.org/txr-metal-seamless/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this page</a>.</p>
