For web development I use either my Windows PC or my MacBook Pro, depending on whether I'm at home.
For music and podcast production, I mainly use an iMac in the studio or my MacBook at home.
Coding & Development
Firewatch was developed with the Unity engine, which is a pretty full-service game development environment.
We use Perforce for version control.
Design
I also end up using Photoshop just about every day for some reason or another, because that is the way of the world.
Media
For music composition and production I use Logic Pro exclusively, which is why I only use Macs for music.
That's also the software I use to edit all our podcasts, although lately I've been using Adobe Audition for various post-processing such as noise reduction before bringing the files into Logic for editing.
Storage
Across all projects and disciplines, I use Dropbox obsessively.
Other
I work for a video game studio called Campo Santo, and we recently released our first game, Firewatch.
