Game jams
A free PureRef alternative with game planning built in
PureRef is a much-loved reference viewer that lots of artists keep on top of their tools. Venom Board keeps that habit and adds what a game team needs next to its references.
- Pin on top, opacity and click-through, so the board floats over your engine or art app
- Task cards on the same canvas as your references, with estimates, priorities, statuses and dependencies
- Milestones, a Planner and a Timeline with the critical path to your next date
- Live team projects: everyone sees the same board, with cursors, comments and version history
- Free and open source, on Windows, macOS, Linux and in the browser
PureRef is a trademark of its owner. Venom Board isn't affiliated with it.
