In my previous post, I was undecided on which tools I plan to use. This is mainly due to the fact that I was in the middle of attempting to shift towards open source as much as possible, and I’m not done getting everything worked out yet. Therefore, after some fiddling around, here are the tools I will use:

• Windows Vista / Ubuntu Linux Karmic
• Visual Studio 2008 (Windows) / Netbeans IDE (Linux)
• Ogre3D for graphics
• OpenAL for audio (if there was any)
• Photoshop (Winodws) / Gimp (Linux) for images
• Sfxr for sound effects
• Blender for 3D models
• mIRC (Windows) / xChat (Linux)
• My phone for taking photos
• ChronoLapse for timelapse screenshots

I think that about covers it. As you can see, I might end up switching back and forth between Windows and Linux, but I hope I can get things working on both of them soon enough.

[Edit] I forgot to mention, as I said in the last post I will be using this framework as a base for my game…. [/Edit]
