It's me!

Look! It's me!

Hi! I'm Raven, but most folks call me Tofi,

I'm non-binary and go by They/Them pronouns!

I come from northern NSW, I grew up on a little farm and then moved down to Sydney to make games! I grew interested in code as I studied game art, and I'm often halfway through a little coding or art project. I've made lots of little things for curiosity's sake like 2D collision libraries, modular shader systems, proceduraly animated characters, and player movement systems. I love setting little challenges for myself, and while I don't always succeed, I learn every time!I have a passion for the art of making games, and I hope one day to tell a few stories of my own through it!
