About Me

Turki Alshaalan

I'm an IT student at Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University with over 1 year of experience in Unity and C# programming. My focus lies in creating engaging 3D gameplay systems, intelligent AI behaviors, and challenging puzzle mechanics.

I work with Blender for 3D modeling and asset creation, allowing me to bring my game concepts to life from prototype to polished experience. I'm passionate about game feel, immersion, and creating memorable player experiences.

As a collaborative team member, I've contributed to various game projects, combining technical skills with creative problem-solving to deliver engaging interactive experiences.
