Hi there;
This is a quick list of programs and other stuff that is very usable for game programming which is offered up free of charge and free of royalties.
If you know a tool or other thing that is handy for game programmers, please don't hesitate to add it to this list. Nothing it hosted here, we only link to stuff.
Please note that some programs may be marked as 'Strong Copyleft'. This means that the license of that tool or product may require you to make the game you create free or to copy the license of the product you chose. The GPL is the most famous example of that. So I really recommend to check the licenses before using the stuff I link to.

Tricky Staff MemberPosted: Jun 13th 2013 | In general I am very happy about this site.
All sorts of images and all for free.
Uploading here strips your image of copyrights, so no problem and the site is very easy to looks things up in.
A few things to take in order though
1. There are photo’s depicting people. You MUST have signed permission of the depicted person to use such a photo.
2. Always keep in mind that since this site is an open community that some people may have uploaded stuff here of which the copyrights belonged to somebody else. Try to confirm it’s really PD or have a plan B ready in case somebody claims the copyright.
Other than that, this site is truly worth a visit. |
