Games have been a part of Zakia Habul’s life for as long as she can remember, but what’s always stood out about her is her approach and attitude toward game development and game audio. She is a freelance video game composer with 9+ years of experience creating original music for games and interactive projects with the goal of making every soundtrack feel memorable, intentional, and tied to the world it belongs to and as a multifaceted designer that excels in a multitude of different scenarios as is needed. Zakia composes across a wide range of genres, including orchestral, modern chiptune, classical, and funk, and she loves shaping her sound around a game’s tone, pacing, and identity. She has experience across multiple DAWs, but she primarily works in FL Studio, and she’s comfortable collaborating in team environments as a Composer / Sound Designer throughout the development process. She is the owner of Ludilo Studios, a freelance for-hire multimedia music composition studio that’s built with smaller indie developers in mind and offers reduced rates without sacrificing quality, while also publishing its own games on the side. As a freelance hire, she has composed original soundtracks for indie-led titles including Are You Prepared To Date A Needy Goddess?? and KNOCK-OUT ARCADE. Her soundtracks have a distinct, one-of-a-kind style that’s been described as calling to mind artists such as Alias Conrad Coldwood, Toby Fox, Nathan Hanover, and C418, while still staying uniquely her own. She has also explored film composition in a smaller capacity, expanding her range in emotionally driven, story-focused writing. Alongside her work in music, Zakia is also a recent graduate from the University of Advancing Technology, bringing hands-on experience as a designer with strengths in rapid brainstorming and scope management. She enjoys creating systems and worlds that are outside of the box and unique while still staying realistic in a development sense, and she has experience contributing through level design, system design, dialogue writing, and task management in collaborative team settings.…Games have been a part of Zakia Habul’s life for as long as she can remember, but what’s always stood out about her is her approach and attitude toward game development and game audio.
