Is paint. net any good for making Game Assets?

There are tons of useful tools wich you don’t need to pay!

Probably the first path most developers take is GFX, so here are some softwares that were extremely helpful to me:

Photopea is an extremely helpful software pretty similar to Photoshop and it is completely free. You can save and open your works on PSD (wich is the format Photoshop uses). The only inconvenients I’ve found with this is that every time you save, it creates a new file and since it is web based, the bigger your project the laggier it becomes.

Paint.net is another excellent software used by many clothing designers. In my opinion, it is overrated, but it is helpful for the majority of people.

Gimp is very helpful and easy-to-learn for new artists. Is like an upgraded version of MS Paint.

Inkscape is one of the best alternatives if you want to create vectors (wich are mathematically calculed). Pretty useful for UI designers and artists.

Figma is another excellent option for UI designers. It is free for beginers and offers a lot of options and tools to create amazing and beatiful looking UI for your games.

Krita is a free and open source tool created by artists. It is mainly used to draw, but it might be also helpful ín other ways.

Vectr is a free graphics software used to create vector graphics easily and intuitively. It’s a simple yet powerful web and desktop cross-platform tool

Game UI Database is a website where you can find inspiration for your UI designs. You can filter by type, style and many other filters.

For UI designing, you also have Adobe XD which comes with a free starter plan and Lunacy which is similar to Adobe XD.

Personally, I use iconsdb for getting my icons. They’re always so clean and you can choose which type of file extension/file size/colour you’d like.

I would add Photoscape X to this list, literaly you can just make professional 2D images (like gui buttons and such) in minutes!

There are plenty other softwares like Pxlr X , Pxlr E and MS Paint wich are pretty useful too, but this are the ones that I found more helpful
