From Reddit:
I'm compiling a list of "pocketknives" for game developers, in that they're tools (not just resources) that:

  1. do One Thing Well
  2. are portable, as in, permissive license, exports usable data, and fits in any workflow.
  3. are free web apps, so there's no cost, no download time, and no cross-platform issues.
After reading the comments, I've loosened the 'web app' criteria, (marked with an asterisk) as long as they're still free & cross-platform. And as great as downloadable tools like Audacity & Blender are, I'd like to keep the spotlight on the lesser-known gems.
[HR][/HR]Here's what we've got so far:
Art


Audio

Data

Design

Production

Programming

Resources (Not really "tools", but they're still quick one-stop websites.)

[HR][/HR]Surely I've missed a few. If you know of a good "gamedev pocketknife", leave it in the comments, and I'll update the list above! (and credit you for the suggestion) Or, if you want to request a type of tool, I'll add it to the list below. Don't worry about being too specific!
Does anyone know of free web apps for:

Thank you NaNoW. This will be very helpful. I just hope I don't lose motivation like I frequently do with my projects : P

Thank you for providing these great materials! When I started learning game programming, I had a lot of trouble choosing images, controlling the interface with js, css, html... and everything becomes easier with what you share! Thanks!

Thanks! It is very good question. I think that good recourses affects in the most way because quality of the team = quality of the final product. Just look on the game industry - latest example is Cyberpunk 2077 - developers are good guys but because of missunderstanding of PR team and testers game was broken and company almost went bunkrupt. Game industry takes a very big part of IT and they can not only be used for entertainment but also to teach people. Just look on the Minecraft - is is studied in a schools now!

A software development service should be flexible and adaptable to your needs. You should also consider the size of your project. A good software development service should be able to accommodate your requirements. They should have a good track record for successful project completion. They should have an experienced team with experience in a particular domain. It should be able to communicate well with their clients. If the software does not, they will have problems. They should be able to communicate with you.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
