Yanyan Chen — Game Developver Portfolio
About
I am a co-founder and indie game developer based in Boston, wearing multiple hats across game design, gameplay programming, UI/UX implementation, and QA, with 3 years of experience in game development.
My journey in game development began during my first year of college. In 2022, I co-founded an indie studio, and we launched our first game, AI Warzone: Call of Survivors, inspired by childhood classic games Battle City and Contra, which was released on the App Store and Google Play in 2023. Since then, we've developed three additional commercial games and are currently working on our fifth title, Survivor TD.
My expertise covers a variety of genres and platforms, including PC, consoles, and mobile, with practical experience in designing for diverse interfaces.
Here, you can explore the game projects I've contributed to, along with some interesting personal and school projects.
