Free tools for Game Development & Collaboration

A friend and I plan on making a game together, and as we have no money, we are looking for free tools to use with Unity 5 Beta 14 (May change cause I don't have the serial number for Beta 16). We currently have the tools: 'MuseScore', 'Blender', and 'Fuse', which I purchased through Steam. Does anyone have any free tools that they would recommend for Amateur developers for Modelling, Audio, Animation and Collaboration, etc. Thanks, Fj.

 

For modelling I'd definitely recommend Blender, its a completely free 3D modelling tool that I found to be very good, there is a steep learning curve but there are so many online resources/tutorials on how to use blender. I am by no means an expert or even intermediate user of blender but for a free tool, it is simply amazing. It also has animation capabilities, however I can't comment on how good the said capabilities are as I've not used them, but if its on par with the rest of the tools available through blender then I dare say the animation side is just as good!

I saw this thread (http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/list-of-useful-game-designing-tools.275202/) earlier that has a load of free tools that you and your friend could benefit from. So I'd suggest taking a look into them

 

Is it different? I pre-ordered, but it's the same serial for me for Unity 4 and Unity 5 beta.

 

I was going to say the same thing. The serials don't change like that so the one you have should work.

Tools: For 3d at least, Blender is the big one. It seems that anybody who is going free for modelling is doing Blender.
2d: GIMP for raster and Inkscape for Vector
Music: there are a couple, but I think LMMS is one of the best.
Sounds: For editing, Audacity. For creation, you can use LMMS if you mess with things, but another way is sxfr and bxft, though those give more retro-ish sounds. Labchirp also exists, but though you have much more control, it is still retro sounding.

 

you may try dazStudio too it also free and you can make lot of character sprites with it

 

I think you can use dazStudio for creating animations, still images, and 2D sprites for games. If you want to use DAZ studio store 3D models in game then you need gamedev license.

Other free program for generating 3D models is make human but it isn't same level as Fuse.

 

Makehuman is nice too.
