hello, all! I know I've never submitted to this forum B4, but I got some goodies that independent programmers/game designers as well as those looking for new resources might want. I read an article on independent video game designers recently and they gave some links to FREE stuff ya'll might wanna check out:
3d modeling & animation:
Gmax
http:\\
www.discreet.com/products/gmax
Game engine:
Quake II GNU general public licence innovation without tools
http:\\idsoftware.com
Compiler:
GCC
http:\\
www.gcc.gnu.org
(all of the above in one package, still free...)
Blender
http:\\blender3d.org
image editing:
The GIMP
http:\\
www.gimp.org
I make no disclaimers about these products as to how they work, why they were named what they were named or any other thing as that. I just am passing on information of FREE stuff to people who appreciate stuff (especially FREE stuff) and if you happened to read the same atricle as me, then you know I didn't include the NOT FREE stuff that they listed. But if even 1 person uses these to make a game, then its good stuff...
