Hey, I'm Zaul.

Crafting Responsive Gameplay & Custom Controllers

For me, making games is mostly about feel. I like the little things that make a game satisfying the way a character moves, how an action responds, a tiny animation, a sound effect, or that extra bit of juice that makes you want to do it again. I spend a lot of time prototyping and testing, sometimes throwing away an idea completely just to try something else. I enjoy that process of messing around, asking “what if I tried this?”, and slowly finding the thing that makes a game feel right. A lot of my time in game development is honestly just experimenting, researching, and trying things I’ve never done before.

That mindset also goes beyond games. Whether I’m building a website, making music, or working on some random side project, I like learning by actually doing and experimenting with things. I don’t really want to stop at “it works” I want to see how far I can push an idea, what I can improve, and what new things I can learn along the way. Learning, experimenting, breaking things, and trying again is probably the biggest part of how I like to create.

Composing Soundtracks & Game SFX

Music and audio give gameplay its emotional pacing. I compose original synth ambience and design sound effects that synchronize with in-game actions and UI cues.

Game Programming Education & PKL Instruction

Mentored more than 100 students through PKL technical teaching activities. I designed curriculum teaching core game programming loops, 2D vector mathematics, character movement mechanics, and signal-based scene structures using project-based learning.

Save Systems, Schemas & Cloud APIs

Strong background in data architecture for games and web tools—implementing JSON save/load systems, SQLite/MySQL relational schemas for inventories and stats, and connecting Godot to Google Apps Script cloud endpoints.
