The tools I use for Game Development.

Today, I will talk about the tools I use for Game Development. Some more important than the others, of course. Lets start with the main ones:

  • Unity.
    A full featured game engine. My favorite in the market. Enamored by it ever since 2016 when I first started using it.
  • Visual Studio.
    A Code Editor included with the Unity installation. Basically where all the code goes.
  • Unity Hub.
    To keep an order with my projects and Unity versions installed. I usually keep all my projects updated to the latest Unity version tho.
  • Blender.
    For 3d modeling. Even tho, most of the 3d models I use are bought in the Unity Asset Store. I occasionally still do some 3D modeling/animating inside Blender.
  • Photoshop/GIMP.
    From texturing ingame well… textures. to make all the Marketing Art that is required for publishing the games in the stores like Steam and Google Play. Including and not limited to the Steam Game Capsules, Icon, etc.
  • Google Chrome.
    For a lot of stuff. It is a full featured Internet Browser. So, from looking for the Unity documentation. Searching for answers in Stackoverflow. Using some online tools, etc.
Online tools:
  • Social Media Websites.
    Facebook. Twitter. Reddit. Instagram. etc. Perfect for a little bit of marketing for the games. And a Social Media Presence.
  • Discord.
    A voice/text chat service that has become very important in today’s online presence. I have several discord server for several causes. Like for example a server for Zoryth Games. Invite here: <>
  • Youtube.
    For game trailers and development behind the scenes videos.
  • iPage/Blogger.
    For hosting the websites of my companies (zorythgames.com, elegantgirlgames.com), my personal(cmheaven.me) and my clan (sectionxiii.com). and also the blogs for them.
  • GitHub.
    For hosting the private repositories of my games’ project files. Basically the source code of my games.
  • Stackoverflow.com.
    Perfect for looking for answers to particular problems we, as programmers, face.
  • Unity Asset Store.
    A lot of very good time saving assets are there ready to be bought c:
Physical tools:
  • My computer.
    A very important part, used as the hub to access all other tools mentioned earlier.
  • My brain and body.
    Very important to take and execute all the decitions and development of the game :p
  • A Xbox One purple controller.
    To test the controller support if/when my games will have some sort of controller support.
