1) PLAYMAKER

I can't code so Playmaker is a Visual Scripting that you can code easier on Unity. Playmaker works good in Unity 2D or Unity3D.
The basics about Playmaker I learned from Mr. David Wehle (Creator from "The First Tree" and  "Home is Where One Starts..."), his online course "Game Dev Unlocked". It's a big investment to buy this online course but helped me a lot to learn to make a game and understand how it works in Playmaker and Unity. (You will also understand about Marketing and other things that all your questions will be answered if you buy the online course. It helped me a lot!)

There are other Visual Scripting but I prefer Playmaker because I heard a lot of  good games used Playmaker to make their game come true!

Bolt is a Visual Scripting too but I don't know much about it, like I said before why.

Playmaker is a good tool and many games used it to make their dream come true! (IF you will buy "Game Dev Unlocked", you will get an discount for Playmaker, awesome right?! If i knew about this, I wouldn't buy Playmaker before buying the online course.

2) ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

I couldn't make the game look better without Adobe Photoshop. I had to change all gameobjects in Unity3D. So that the textures looks good and match the colors with each other.
It was easy to use and easy to save the changed textures and import in Unity3D.

I got a Adobe Student plan so I had to pay every month: €19.34 with taxes.
The student plan I got from buying "Game Dev Unlocked" and you will get all the Adobe apps!!

3)  UNITY ASSET FREE: TERRAIN TOOLS SAMPLE ASSET PACK

Because of Mr. David Wehle (our Mentor in Game Dev Unlocked online course), he explained this asset tool so you can make different shapes of mountains with brushes. It was very easy and great tool to work in Unity3D.
I could make so many different mountains in my game and in every scene!

And the most important and amazing news is ... This asset is FREE!!

4) UNITY ASSET PAID: SIMPLE WAYPOINT SYSTEM 

This tool is very handy for people who can't code in Unity but want to make the objects move where you want. They explain in a small video on Unity Asset Store, how to use it. And it's true, it worked and it's easy to use!

I only used  this tool in my first game and I am using it in my 2d game again!

5)   NCH SOFTWARE

I bought this because when you have to convert from M4A to MP3 file, on  free websites:
- ZAMZAR:M4A to MP3 - Convert your M4A to MP3 for Free Online (zamzar.com)
- CLOUDCONVERT:M4A to MP3 | CloudConvert

You can only do a couple of times and after that you have to pay a lot!  And it takes a lot of time if you have low internet!

I paid this software so I can convert audio files how much I want without any network involved.
My internet connection is very low in this town  and having a big M4A file, will take longer to convert to MP3 or it will never convert at all!

So paying this is a smart investment and takes less time.

Why I need it? Well I need to make voice  recordings with my microphone Yeti and it's all M4A.
I can't use M4A files in Unity so I need to convert in WAV or MP3 files.

6)    ESOTERIC SOFTWARE 

This is a software where you can make your own drawings on photoshop in Spine to move.
So what I mean is: adding animations in 2D drawings!

It's a very easy tool to add 2D animations and I needed this in my game for my subtitle box with animations!
Otherwise my subtitle box will be too simple.

It's UI  and 2D images and of course Spine can add this in Unity too!

7) GIMP

GIMP is a FREE to download. Unlike Adobe Photoshop, for this you need to pay monthly fee!

I use GIMP for making my canvas smaller and it's easier than photoshop I guess.
When I had to add UI images in Unity3D,  the canvas was to big and you couldn't select the buttons because it interact with each other or you can only select 1 button.

So I had to make the canvas smaller for all UI images to not  interfere with each other!

8)  AUDACITY

I used this software for all my sounds for  the game objects in Unity3D. And this one is FREE too!

In "Game Dev Unlocked", Mr. David Wehle will explain how to use it and how to make the sounds more nicer and not to loud for your ears if you will wear headphones while playing the game.

I used this software for my first game and a lot of people liked the sounds because it was not to loud and sounded nice to the ears!

And I will use this again in all my games. Especially for the sounds only for game objects. Voices I will do with another software! That will be explained in the next chapter!

9) ADOBE AUDITION

In my 2nd game I will use Adobe Audition to make the voices different and better quality because of Voice Changer Accusonus.
It's easy to work with. You can find a guide that tells you how to install and work with it. You can also find some info about it on YT. Voice Changer is described at number 14.

10) UNITY3D GAME CREATOR & EDITOR

And of course, I need my first important tool of them all...Is Unity3D!
Without it, you can't make your game!

11) FIRST PERSON ALL-IN-ONE | DELETE |

I needed a first person camera for my game. I couldn't make one because I am still in newbie with Playmaker and Unity3D but there is a asset available that you can use in your 3D game.
It's a very easy tool to use in Unity3D  and good news again... it's FREE!

CORRECTION: I self made a first person controller for my game. Everything will be explained in this devlog .

12) ADOBE COLOR WHEEL

I needed some help with the colors to match perfectly. So I used Adobe Color Wheel to figure out which color to choose!
It's a very easy tool on the internet  and good news... FREE again!
