Profile

My name is Toby Lofas, and I am a hobbyist programmer, game developer (developer is a bit overkill honestly), and musician.

WORK

Programming/IT

I have made many small games and prototypes over the 10 years I have been programming, some of which you can find in the ‘Games’ tab (or by clicking here).

I can also make websites, making both this one (obviously), and the website for a local village charity – which can be found at whvh.org.uk - using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.

Music

I started making music in 2018 and, after trialing it, quickly purchased FL Studio. I primarily use Xfer Serum to make the sounds in my music, but often utilize third-party and built in VSTs (and far too many Parametric EQ 2s)

I have made many custom presets and patches for Serum and other VSTs. All of my music features sounds created entirely by me using Serum.

Alongside the music, I also make all of the associated artworks. The song & album covers for all of my music are created in GIMP using royalty free images sourced from across the internet, or from photos I have personally taken.

Some of the music I have created can be found on the 'Music' tab, or by clicking here.
