Very nice collection!<p>I was recently starting to do a similar collection: <a href="https://github.com/albertz/Coding-Game-Intro" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;albertz&#x2F;Coding-Game-Intro</a><p>Although mine is more headed to become some game coding tutorials, probably C++ with SDL, Lua, or so. But that hasn&#x27;t even started yet.

Also: <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1rs1s1/what_are_some_awesome_game_dev_tools_weve_never/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;gamedev&#x2F;comments&#x2F;1rs1s1&#x2F;what_are_som...</a><p>Which I find to be more streamlined and focused on game development.

A couple more:<p>Particle Designer - <a href="http://particledesigner.71squared.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;particledesigner.71squared.com&#x2F;</a><p>Bitmap Font Generator - <a href="http://www.bmglyph.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bmglyph.com&#x2F;</a>

Great list! If you&#x27;re interested in rapid-prototyping a platform game, check out a game that I&#x27;m working on called Beta.<p>There&#x27;s a free trial download at www.betathegame.com

Could use a mention of jpct <a href="http://www.jpct.net/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jpct.net&#x2F;</a>

Are these all free or open source? Including the license for each tool would be useful.

It should have continue with the tradition and call it Awesome Games
