I dont know if you care or not :D But i tell you.

Software: - Game Dev: Unity 2018.2 (and Rider) - Design: Aseprite mostly (Photoshop if i need some high res images) - Sound: Bfxr / Famitracker - Music: Famitracker / boscaceoil (or LMMS) - Concept: Notepad++

Also i create a Folder Struct everytime where there is a "inspiration" folder. That folder contains screenshots or something that i inspirate from other games or other pixel art styles for example :)

If time runs too fast up and you need music - opengameart.org is your friend. Look for the public domain assets but be fair and opt-out audio.

So i wish you all the best :D
