Hi, I'm i0gan. Nice to meet you! I'm a game developer based in China. I graduated from CUIT (Chengdu University of Information Technology) back in 2023. I've been working on game projects ever since.
Talking about your dream
聊自己的理想
1 2 3
My dream is to make the most fun casual zombie game in the world. It's called "My Zombuddy" — you basically team up with zombies instead of fighting them. I'm really passionate about it. It's something I've been building for a while now.
Hometown
聊家乡

I'm originally from Anshun, Guizhou — it's a city in southwest China. It's known for its beautiful scenery and the Huangguoshu Waterfall. I moved to Chengdu for university and kind of stayed in the game dev world after that.
2. Talking About Hobbies 聊爱好
Breaking / Street Dance
聊街舞
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
I'm really into Breaking — you know, breakdancing. I've been practicing for a while. It's a great way to stay active. Do you dance at all?
A: What do you do in your free time? B: I do Breaking mostly. It's like a mix of dance and acrobatics. A: That sounds awesome! How long have you been doing it? B: A few years now. Still learning new moves.
Motorcycles
聊摩托
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
I ride motorcycles. My current bike is a Zhang Xue 500RR — it's a Chinese sport bike. There's nothing quite like hitting the open road on a bike. Do you ride?
A: Is that your motorcycle outside? B: Yeah! It's a 500cc sport bike. I love riding on weekends. A: Isn't it dangerous? B: Haha, you just have to ride smart. Gear up, stay alert.
Car Drifting
聊漂移
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
I'm also into car drifting. I drive a BMW E90 with a 1JZ swap. It's a Japanese engine in a German car — sounds crazy but it works beautifully. Have you ever been to a drift event?
A: You're into drifting? Like Fast and Furious style? B: Ha, kind of! I've got an E90 set up for it. It's so much fun on a track. A: I had no idea you were a car guy too. B: Cars, bikes, games — I like anything with speed, honestly.
Gaming
聊游戏
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I play a lot of games — NFS, Steam single-player games, and LoL: Wild Rift on mobile. I also work in game development, so games are basically my life haha.
A: What games are you playing lately? B: Been grinding Wild Rift on mobile. Also playing some story games on Steam. A: What kind of story games? B: Open world RPGs mostly. I like games with good world-building.
A: You work in games AND play games all day? B: Pretty much! It's hard to switch off, honestly.
Roller Skating
聊轮滑
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
I also do roller skating. It's similar to Breaking in some ways — balance, flow, rhythm. It's a lot of fun once you get past the falling stage haha.
A: You skate too? B: Yeah! Inline skating. It's my chill activity when I don't feel like dancing. A: How do you even have time for all these hobbies? B: I just squeeze them in wherever I can. Life's too short not to.

I work as a game developer. I've worked on some pretty big titles — like Conqueror's Blade, Pokémon UNITE, and Wuthering Waves. Right now I'm focusing on my own indie project.

聊独立开发
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
On the side, I'm building my own game — a zombie survival game with a twist. It's called My Zombuddy. Instead of killing zombies, you befriend them. I'm handling most of the development myself, which is intense but rewarding.
A: Do you have any personal projects? B: Yeah, I'm making an indie game in my spare time. A: What's it about? B: You play as a human who makes friends with zombies. Kind of wholesome, actually. A: That sounds really original! B: Thanks! I hope it turns out the way I imagine it.

A: What's your personality like? B: I'm an ENFP — pretty outgoing, lots of ideas, a bit chaotic maybe haha. A: ENFP? That's the "Campaigner" right? B: Yeah exactly.
