Psyche Verge is a first-person platform puzzle game with a Si-Fi theme. In this game, you play as a robot awakening in a deserted space station. Explore various rooms and cabins, learn the rules and physical laws of this environment, and uncover the story and setting behind your mysterious surroundings.
Role : Independent Project
Techniques involved:
Unreal, OOP programming, blueprint, 3D modeling, UV, texture, lighting, etc.
I made this game to practice my game development skills in Unreal Engine, including 3D modeling, texture creation, and lighting. In the aspect of game design, I aimed to enhance my proficiency in level design, puzzle design, interactive learning experience design, and environmental storytelling.
Keyboard Olympics is a local 2-player battle game played with the keyboard. 2 players will fight against each other through a number of different sports games, on a single keyboard. Be careful of your in-game strategies, as well as the battle in the real physical world! Play the game and enjoy a hilarious and chaotic vibe with your friends.
Role : Artist, Programmer (Team of 3)
Techniques involved:
Unity, C#, Github, 3ds Max, Particle System, Shader
Keyboard Olympics is developed by an amazing team of 3. Haotian Chen is our lead programmer, who has a solid coding skill, and is in charge of most of the codes in the game. Blaer Zhang is our main designer, who came up with the idea of "OK, let's make a keyboard". He designed most of the gameplay and sports in the game. David Fang is the main artist, who polished the prototype and added a layer of flavor to the game, with colors, materials, scene building and particle effects.
Github plays an important role in our development. We successfully practiced collaborative design and development as well as version control via Github through this project.

Techniques involved:
Unity, C#, Github, Trello, Miro
The Call is a 2-weeks walking simulator project in a team of 3. Working with Devinne and Alyssa, two designers who come from different backgrounds from mine, was a particularly valuable experience to me.
Our communication was key to this process. We practiced collaborative design, group brainstorming, ideation, and joint development, while being clear, concise, and open to each other's suggestions, ensuring that every decision was made with the project's best interest in mind.
The Call (Nature's Call) is a walking simulator about hiking. Not only about hiking back to nature, but also about hiking spiritually back to our inner heart.
Card Souls 3 is a card version of Dark Souls. Use "clicks" to do all the actions, attack, dodge, use Estus Flask, and try to beat the "Iudex Gundyr Card" !
Role : Independent Project
Techniques involved:
Unity, C#, Github, Photoshop, Audition
As a Soul game fan, I enjoy the "Soul" experience very much. So I tried to analyze the formal aspects in Soul games, break down the elements and actions that make the Soul experience so captivating.
This intention leads to the creation of this game, I believe that I've been able to replicate, to a certain extent, the feel and experience of the Gundyr boss fight. This includes aspects such as the rhythm of defeating Gundyr, various nuances actions, the mastering curve (able to get more and more HP of Gundyr as you replay more and more times), the "greedy" moment (when Gundyr only has a few HP but you died), and the low health outplay as well.
Singleton Warrior is an abstract adventure game. You will play the warrior who has multiple avatars. and try to reach the realm of Matt the Singleton Demon and beat him by singleton yourself.
Role : Independent Project
Techniques involved:
Unity, C#, Github
Singleton Warrior is a project I used to practice coding in Unity with C#. During the learning process I find it very interesting to put all my discrete codes and functions together and make a game upon it. So this project is it! I also try to play with some concepts in coding and present them in an interesting way in this game, with some level design incorporated as well.
Light City is a visual novel about a short "Sword and Magic" adventure story in Victoria era.
Role : Independent Project
Techniques involved:
Unity, C#
light city is an attempt of mine at making a visual novel. The game is made from scratch, I code the entire system of text printing, image fade in, and button logic myself.

PROTOTYPE
In Jungle Simulator, I want to deliver my experience when the first time I played League of Legend and played Jungle, in which I was killed several times by the jungle creeps...(They are just too strong for a first-timer...) I also learned a lot about the animation system in Unreal through this project.
Made with : Unreal 5

Moments is a game about sharing photos. Through the given cards as prompts and rules as structures, players share with each other their photos as well as the moments behind.
Moments is not just one game. It’s a deck of cards for different gameplays. We currently developed 4 different sets of rules for different styles of play : SYNC, STORY, CONNECTION and READ.
Role : Game Designer, Developer (Team of 3)
Moments was originally designed in a team of 5. After the initial prototype was done, 3 of us, including myself, decided to keep developing it into a commercial product. After several iterations, we got attention from a massive market publisher, we are now keep developing it and try to bring it to the players.
Monkey Accountant is a reinforcement engine-building board game for 2-4 players.
