I need a team tool for personal projects

I've used Basecamp professionally and I like it. Now I'm looking for something similar, but I'm not quite ready to plunk down 20-25€ per month on something I'm only using with a couple of other people, and very likely not ever making any money doing it. We're making games together and need to maintain momentum when working remotely.

Does anybody have any recommendations? It doesn't have to be a bespoke team tool if it can do multiple discussions, calendar, to-dos and (crucially) a wall type function which collates all the updates in one view.

I don't know, maybe even a private forum might work, but it seems like a major hassle to set one up and keep it hack-proof. I've ran a couple of SMF forums before (years ago) and, well, it's a pain.

I tried Freedcamp, but it was just nowhere smooth or intuitive enough. I could install something on my own server if it came to that, but rather wouldn't as I'm not a wizard with all them databases and whatnot.

What about GitHub or one of its analogs that allow free private projects?
You get the repository, sure, but there's also issue tracking and, I believe, forums etc.

I just saw an article yesterday about a guy that used GitHub to manage all of his maintenance and renovation tasks and projects for his house using GitHub.

Trello

Trello and github are good suggestions, although github isn't free for private.

Give asana a look as well.

Came here to suggest that. They have a semi-decent iOS app now as well but I haven't dug too deep into it yet.

I was going to check out Asana next, definitely will now that it's getting recommendations. I like Trello for just my own stuff, but I'm not so keen on it in collaborations.
