Going to start doing daily questions of the day here about misc game development topics. Probably also going to start some over in !game_design@programming.dev as well
For today heres a question about which tools & software you find essential
Houdini is pretty cool. I can make assets with it that I never would’ve had the patience to make by hand.
VSCode! I can use it for pretty much any project I’m working on, and I’ve customized it enough that it feels wrong to use anything else 😆
If you’d prefer to use it without Microsoft’s trackers, check out VSCodium.
RenderDoc for debugging graphics
Imgui for tool UI
I develop on linux, i use cmake for compileing, blender for assets
I just bought aseprite for creating sprites and it’s great
