I'm having a hard time coming up with a good list of what sort of tools are needed for game development, and that would help me when I apply to these game development companies. I figured I'd drop in to get some ideas.
The completely obvious tool is a 2D or 3D map editor. But beyond that? Or even integrated in that (what does a good map editor need?).
I notice for a lot of tool development positions require knowledge with MEL. What sort of tools are developed for aiding in the development with MEL?
Anyway, any help would be great.
