Sidan Fan

Game Designer

Now a new journey awaits. After studying at Northeastern University for 2 years, I acquired a better understanding of game design as well as programming in Unity, VFX design, 2D Art, Animation, and even shaders.

I am going to work as a combat designer at Tencent Games. Hopefully, I can learn more there.
