Could somebody please fix the shot down formatting at the first entry?

While at it, i think this new upcoming modeler called Void World may be worth a mentioning. The current homepage is horrible, and it is not ready developed yet. But the software itself goes somewhere into the direction of Silo, with the benefit that this software here gets still developed.

You can grab the newest beta build in this thread here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74005

If you are developing a mobile 2D game i got one: Animate2D in google play. Five dollars. Maybe its too cheap. But i'm only looking to make back my summers rent and then some. There are more features i want to add so i'm hoping for the best (and then some) so i can finish what i started.

The app is intended for character animations. Scene compositing and after effects and physics coming soon as separate apps. But first thing is first.

Nice post!

You could also add the Anatomy - sprite animation tool.

The software is under $50 and essentially it is adapted for quick creating of game sprites and sprite sheets using 2D skeletal animation technique.

How did you analyse the popularity of the softwares?

strange...my post vanished

is amazing. used to cost £1000 but now it is free

also TVPaint on android is in beta....and free

first for Android: Spacedraw, http://www.scalisoft.com/. Seems quite usable for smaller projects (see the images). I think for iOS there's nothing usable yet.

There's a free version (no Ads!), and a pro version for $11.99 (currently only $2.99)

Photoshop CS2 is probably the best 2D image editing app used for game and just about anything 2D/3D industry and is now FREE

It has all the essential features, probably the best version there is for a long time. Although I use CS2, CS5 I don't use much extra feature from them, CS2 has about 90% of all you need really.

Actually CS2 is not free at all.

tl;dr:

Adobe discontinued it's authentication service for it, so they released an "unlocked" version. But still you're only allowed to use if if you have a CS2 license.

So without a valid license, this is effectively piracy.

I would probably cancel my CC subscription if this were true though ;)
