Hello everyone! I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE  the weeks before each dare. Why? Because I get to learn about all these new programs and tools! I have compiled a list of some tools. Some are popular, and some not so much. Do you want to know the best part? They are all 100% FREE!!! Isn’t that great? There is one problem though… I just got the idea to compile this list, so I’m lacking a bunch of programs :(. So if you know / have made any free tools that would be useful to the development of games, please feel free to comment them! So, here it is:
