I picked up this set of dev tools on humble bundle the other day, for 10$ you can get like 8+ useful seeming programs, and even if only 1 turns out to be really useful in the long run for me, having tools and such i can work with in addition to the free stuff out there like gimp and unity has opened up a few options for me, and one of my artists picked up the set as well so we can both work in spriter instead of the really expensive spine program we were planning on getting.
