Undoubtably when using GameSalad, you will want to create some original game graphics. If you don’t have the time to learn the non-Mac-standard interface of the Gimp (free image editor) or don’t have the need or money for Photoshop, we suggest you check out Pixen, available for free from the Open Sword web site. Of course, if you find it useful, you should definitely support their donation-ware model!
