Hi, I'm Yan Zhang
Thank you for stopping by my website. I'm currently living and working in Frisco, Texas at Gearbox Software.
I enjoy exploring various ideas via quick prototyping. I also love cooperating with other disciplines to build cool ideas from drafts to polished gameplay. I'm committed to making good games that will be remembered even though years have passed.
I believe games are a powerful way to explore and express deep feelings and thoughts in a human’s mind. It can be beautiful and impressive beyond understanding and explanation, just like novels, music, and paintings, but more vivid.
Factoids beyond game development:
-
I have an energetic doggie, Ein. We are working on a dog sport called barn hunt.
-
My doggie makes me an outdoor person. And my current plan is to get all stamps on the national park passport.
-
I can sing, seriously. Have won a prize in the undergraduate singer match.
-
Surprisingly find I'm good at swimming. Now I'm working on the butterfly stroke.
