A curated awesome-list of free software and free culture resources for game development, covering engines, assets, audio, graphics tools, and learning materials. It only includes free-licensed code and assets, and maintains a 'Wall of Shame' for non-free alternatives.

Use cases

  • find free game engines and libraries
  • find free game art and audio assets
  • learn game programming from tutorials and talks

  • you are teaching or learning game development on a budget

When to avoid
