Tools of the trade

Game Engines

Once I would’ve placed Adobe Flash between these engines, but Adobe behaved so badly (with their customers – as I was – and with Flash in general) that now I simply shun for it, at least as a game engine.
There are obviously other engines, but Unity is the only one I use, so this list is quite short.

• Unity

Cool C#/C++ Libraries

• OpenCV (vision algorithms)
• OpenCVSharp (C# wrapper for OpenCV)

Unity-related stuff

A list of tools related to Unity.

Essential (at least for me) Plugins

• 2D Toolkit
• Easy Save 2
• HOTween (tweening engine)
• Smooth Moves (character animation)
• Scoreoid (score system which simply works with WWW calls)

Coding Environments/Tools

• Doxygen (for generating API docs)
• MonoDevelop
• Sublime Text (speedy text editor – needs some workaround to work with Unity, but is useful for quick edits and for DLLs)
• Symlinker (to quickly create sym links within Windows)
• Visual Studio
