Hey there! I'm Athaalaa Altaf Hafidz. I am a scholar studying abroad in Singapore from Indonesia who likes to create and tinker with computers, usually.
I'm mainly a game developer and web developer, but I
also like to make other things like desktop apps, and robots.
I'm still constantly learning and trying new things!
↓ psst, scroll down! ↓
Since little, I've always liked making things, from making things with cardboard, to tinkering with computers and electronics. Even making ROBLOX games!
Around the age of 10-12, I've started learning programming more seriously. I started off with game devleopment and web development, and also did some desktop programming.
At the same time, I also explored other creative media such as videography and others. Programming still remained as my main thing.
During these times, I learnt and experimented with Unity game development and web development mostly.
Created and published my first major game project. A 2D pixel art arcade shooter game.
The original Unity project for simpliCity, "Sandbox Game", was created. This is a major project that I'm still working on!
