Hey everyone, I decided to make a list of some websites and programs that will help you develop your games. Feel free to add to the list. i hope this helps some of you.
Dafont.com- This is where people can download a number of fonts for free. A catchy font and title can make all the difference and this website always updates with spiffy new fonts.
whatthefont.com- Seen a font in use and want to know what it is? Upload it to this website and they will try and match it up to find you the correct font.
GIMP- This is a FREE art program that is like adobe photoshop. It's a very capable program and there are a number of tutorials on youtube to help you create your artwork (or you can hire an artist). This program is a raster based.
INKSCAPE- This is another FREE art program that is more like adobe illustrator. This program is Vector based and will allow you to resize your images to whatever you want.
Adobe products- people can now subscribe to adobe (I do and it runs me $50 a month) and you gain access to ALL their products.
Pixen- Pixen is a pixel art editor designed for working with low-resolution raster art, such as those 8-bit sprites found in old-school video games.
Blender- This one may be a bit advanced. It is a 3D creation for everyone, free to use for any purpose.
iPad apps- If you have an iPad to use there are a number of different programs that will allow you to create artwork right on the iPad itself. A simple search in the iOS store will yield TONS of results and make sure you read the reviews for the best ones.
GarageBand- Garageband on your own MAC computer has a number of different sound effects that can be used in your games. There are a lot of dings and chimes to help you out with your projects.
Audacity- FREE music program that you can import sounds and music to and it will export your audio files to the right format.
Well- these are the ones off the top of my head that I have used before. If anyone wants to share some programs or secrets that they use, feel free to list them here. I hope this helps some of you!
