Would something like Corel Painter be a viable option for making 2D backgrounds and characters? I think it would be cool to be able to paint a 2D background in watercolor, or paint a character in pastels or something to give a game a original look. I find it confusing researching online because I'm not sure if when people mention something like 'load it up in photoshop', if they mean illustrator, or a different adobe software. Just thought I would throw that in there.

I will be using Blender as well for 3D stuff. I'm trying to decide because if I need multiple software I don't think I can justify spending $50.00 a month, and I will probably just buy ProMotion. I am not interested in flash games and such. As far as making 2D games goes can a person get by with only illustrator for creating sketches and pixel art for a 2D game?Īnd is there any reason I would need any of the other adobe software for game creation? I just want to make 2D games in unity for PC at this point. But there are bunch of different software in the package. I have been looking at Adobe Photoshop for awhile.
