When creating games, Unity is my preferred game engine and Visual stuido as my IDE. All of my projects are written in C#.
These are the progams I use to create 2D assets for games. Gimp, being essentially the free version of photoshop, offers a wide range of tools for a variety of situations. Where as Aseprite, I use mostly for creating and animating sprites.
For 3D assets, blender is my go to. I usually produce simple low-poly objects, but they're clear and consistent in the worlds they exisit in.
On a Surface tablet with a stylus, I use Autodesk's Sketchbook. The vast majority of my digital art that isn't pixel art was made using this.
For digitally created SFX, usually retro-style projects, I use BXFR. And for music in all projects, its Bosca Ceoil.
