I’m a master student in Computer Science in game development, Viterbi School of Engineering, Unviersity of Southern California. Before coming to USC, I worked with Meituan at Beijing as a frontend developer. I received my B.E. in Digital Media Technology from Hangzhou Dianzi University in 2020. I believe creative ideas and logical thinking are wisely melted together to make work that stands out.
Selected Work
MEITUAN YOUXUAN is a mobile application serving for community group-buy and I worked as a frontend developer in the team. As a new retail model it has become popular these years in China. It was a challenging job since of the huge production iterations. However, I learned plenty of skills that cannot be earned in school. To be honest, I now miss those times when I slove series of technical issues with my colleagues.
Through Time - Card Game
Through Time is a social game about time periods where you demonstrate knowledge about the world and yourself to make it to the end of your journey.
As the leading artisit in the team, I designed all the graphics. The whole art of the game follows minimalist style, using outlines, high contrast, simple color schemes and geometric objects. What we want to convey to the players are the concepts of past, present and future, along with the thinkings about time and change.
LIGHT UP THE EARTH is a 3D single-player FPS game run on iOS mobile devices. It takes inspiration from a classical flash game called GOLD MINER but we move it to the universe! As the leader of this project, I was mainly responsible for the core mechanic design, development, and the GUI of level scenes. More information can be found on our project website.
Hedge Hug is a work-in-progress 2D narrative-driven adventure PC/MAC game that explores low self-esteem and social anxiety issues through interactive narrative-driven mini-games and emotional gameplay moments. The story is told through the lens of a caring and sensitive hedgehog – Emma. Emma is a ceramic artist who struggles to love and trust herself, but slowly gains resilience from a supportive friend, self-care, and mindfulness practices over the course of the game.
UI & Posters - Graphic Design
If there is no professional artist in the team, usually I will be responsible for the design of all art materials. I am particularly good at 2D design with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, no matter it is traditional graphic design like posters, photo post-processing, typesetting, or UI design.
