DEVELOPER LOG

My journey in game design

Hi, I am Yuchen Hu, a game designer and artist. My work moves between game design, game art, research, AI-assisted workflows, and playable systems that turn observations into interaction.

Game Design and DevelopmentGame ArtEnvironmental Narrative

My path has moved from community and research work into game design, game art, AI-assisted production, and open-world interaction. I care about the moment when an insight becomes a system, and a system becomes something players can feel.
