List of Game Development tools

[Jackdaw]

This is is going to be the start of a list of useful links to various game level, graphics, modelling, music, audio and font tools and editors. If anyone adds some gems, then they will be added to this post, so people don't have to go through every post.

NOTE: Many of these sites linked here, have not been fully checked or validated for what contents they offer, and possibly in the future they may also be broken. Anyone using the links within these files should remain vigilant to protect themselves from malicious software and sites through the use of internet security software and good judgement by not falling prey to sites that require the specific entry of personal information. The accuracy of the descriptions may also not be correct, and should be in many cases considered a work-in-progress. If they don't appear to be what is advertised, or look suspicious. Then PM an administrator so they can be removed, or updated with the correct information.
So use these links and any associated software from these sites at your own risk!

All the links have been merged into a new github repository for ease of maintenance. You can find the new list here with lots more added and descriptions. Do not submit pull requests, or emails about the repository. Anything related should be posted in this forums topic.

https://www.tinkercad.com/ (Online and free)

Absolute belting 3D CAD shenanigans, Maplet-like setup style of modelling...

I mostly use this for 3D printing, but have managed to get the models into AGK.

I also modelled, printed out and then forged a few spare parts for Nissan (Well, Fire Maintenance Services, the company I worked for) when I worked in the plant!

Highly recommended and rather fun as well!
