Resources
In this page you'll find all kinds of stuff to help you create your own game. Always either Open Source or Freeware. If you think there's something missing, don't hesitate to suggest it!
I'm uploading some of the files myself as mirror, but, I can't guarantee they will be the latest version. You're encouraged to check the creator's website yourself!
Middlewares
- Construct (Open Source) - Great middleware for 2D games. Still in Beta, but the development is quite advanced.
- WinterMute Engine (Freeware, source available under LGPL) - Middleware for point-and-click adventures. Allows the use of 3D actors.
- AGS - Adventure Games Studio (Freeware, contains third-party components) - Powerful middleware for 3D accelerated 2D point-and-click adventures.
Game Engines
- Löve2D (Open Source) - Lua based 3D accelerated multi-platform 2D game engine. A personal favorite. It's still in Beta, but ready to use. Kudos for the unnecessary umlaut.
- flixel (Freeware) - ActionScript based framework for Flash games based on bitmaps/raster graphics.
- FlashPunk (Freeware) - Another ActionScript based framework for Flash games, also, based on raster graphics.
Modelling
- Blender (Open Source) - The Open Source 3D modelling tool. Very powerful, although a bit hard to learn, especially because of its particular interface. Intuitive once you get to know it.
Graphics Editing
- GIMP (Open Source) - One of the most powerful Open Source image editors, if not the most.
Game Art
- The RL Tiles (Public Domain) - Free 2D graphics for dungeon crawling games and roguelikes.
- TomeTik (Creative Commons) - TomeTik is a roguelike itself, based on ToME. Its art is free to download, modify and re-use in any kind of project.
- OpenGameArt.org (Different licenses, CC, GPL...) - Tons of free sprites, tiles, vector art and all kind of graphics, including 3D models.
Useful Websites
- Procedural Content Generation Wiki - Lots of information and ideas on procedural content generation.
This list will be growing over time, including more tools and resources.

Just announcing the creation of a new section on the blog, resources, containing (at the moment not much) information on Open Source and Freeware tools and, well, resources (such as graphics, sounds, etc) as well as some mirrors for these.... Read More
Small update: RL Tiles, TomeTik, OpenGameArt.org and the Procedural Content Generation Wiki.
flixel added!
Changed the downloads to 7z files. You can get 7zip here, or use WinRAR to uncompress them.
Cool! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing.
