Tools

Visual C# Express: C# is a simple, type-safe, object oriented, general-purpose programming language. Visual C# provides code-focused developers with powerful tools and language support to build rich, connected web and client applications on the .NET Framework.

XNA Framework: The XNA framework is a collection of libraries and objects that refines the C# language to make game development more efficient. It is especially effective to work with resources like graphics and sound.

Visual Studio 2005: Even though, all the game’s development will be done with XNA Framework and Visual C# Express (which is a standalone program), Visual Studio tools are employed to create the installer with its corresponding packages.

Visual SourceSafe: Visual SourceSafe is used for source control. Users check out and check in files that are a part of the project to avoid discrepancies. It also logs old versions of files.

Autodesk 3Ds Max: 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software helps design visualization professionals, game developers, and visual effects artists maximize their productivity by streamlining the process of working with complex scenes.

Blender: Blender is an additional 3D modeling software, which is also free program, to be used especially for its relatively easy handling and its high quality output.
