WHO ARE YOU

Hi! I'm Tri Nguyen, a game designer with 3+ years of design experience! I've worked on multiple titles, from robots to indie games to mobile games, and I love solving problems within projects that push the creative boundaries of video games. My love lies with complex combat systems that have my brain firing off on all cylinders. I write design analyses here, and make design videos here!
