10 Free Game Development Tools and Resources

Maybe you’re getting ready for Game Jolt’s upcoming game jam contest next week, or just looking to get into indie game development for the first time. Whatever your reason for seeking out free and easy-to-use game making tools, I’ve compiled a quick list here just for you!

Some of these programs require a basic understanding of programming to really be used to their fullest, while others don’t even ask for a single line of code. For things like art, music and other assets that can help bring your game to life, as well as additional resources like tutorials, I’ve put together a couple links at the bottom of the page. It’s never a bad time to learn a thing or two about game design!
