• EN A list of FOSS and Multiplatform tools and resources for Game Development.

• ES Una lista de herramientas y recursos libres y de código abierto multiplataforma para el desarrollo de videojuegos.

• EN Many resources on the web about game development are supported under privative software so many people don't have the money to pay licenses and prefer to use the software illegally, those privative software create dependency on the people, they began to believe that there is only a way to develop their work; using an unique software and operative system putting on theirselves "digtal handcuffs".

  I'm a software engineer and an artist. In my free time I mix those disciplines in game development, I "discovered" other way, a world beyond the privative software and paid licenses: The FOSS (Free and open source software), I want to share the resources and tools that can help people to see beyond.

• ES Muchos recursos en la web sobre el desarrollo de juegos son ejemplificados y ense;ados usando software privativo al final muchas personas no tienen el dinero para pagar licencias y prefieren usar el software ilegalmente, esos programas privativos crean dependencia en las personas por lo que comenzaron a creer que hay sólo un único camino para desarrollar su trabajo; utilizando un determinado software y un determinado sistema operativo poniéndose "esposas digitales".

  Soy un ingeniero de software y artista. En mi tiempo libre mezclo esas dos discplinas en el desarrollo de videojuegos que "descubrió" un camino alterno, un mundo más allá del software privativo: el software libre y de código abierto o FOSS en Inglés (Free and open Source Sofware). Quiero compartir los recursos y herramientas que pueden ayudar a las personas a ver más allá.

• EN You won't found here game engines such as Unity, Office suites such as WPS of google docs, etc. I talk about free as freedom, not "Is free, you must not pay anything", you can't see the source code from those sofware so you can't propose improvements, use it pr study the source code to learn and create similar software.

• ES No encontrás aquí motores de videojuegos como Unity, suites de oficina como WPS o google docs, etc. Hablo de libre en el sentido de libertad, no de "gratis, no tienes que pagar nada" ya que no puedes ver el código fuente de ese software y por lo tanto proponer mejoras, usar o estudiar el código para aprender a crear algo similar.
