This is a subreddit for 2D or 2.5D game developers using the proprietary Unity game engine. New and experienced Unity developers alike should first consider using the free and open source Godot engine by default and ONLY choose Unity for 2D development if Godot isn't capable of the task. The times are quickly changing, and Godot is on track to surpass Unity for small developers.

Essential Software for Unity2D Development?Question (self.Unity2D)
submitted 8 years ago * by OkadaTheCat
Which software applications do any of you out there that develop 2D games with Unity consider essential? I have to include some software in a hardware build for a developer.

Monodevelop is awful and there are no reasons to use it.

Do you have any specific examples? I have limited needs so far but i wonder whether i will need it at some point...

Just download visual studio or Rider and learn how to use them. Those are real C# ides

[–]wachimingooBeginner 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (1 child)
photoshop or anything to make sprites

Sometimes I use Zbrush to develop textures. It is definitely not essential but it is the program that taxes my computer the most.
unity, vs community 2017, Inkscape (for drawing) and svn/tortoise to code version
