Hi, I’m Tao. Welcome to my website.
I’m a game design leader in the F2P games industry, focused on systems, economy, progression, and monetization design.
I design game frameworks that connect gameplay, player motivation, resource flow, and long-term business goals. My work focuses on building systems that support retention and monetization while keeping the player experience fair, readable, and sustainable.
On this website, you can explore my portfolio cases and simplified game loop and system-structure maps created for portfolio discussion, based on publicly released products and my own design experience experience. You can also visit my Game Blog, where I share shorter design insights, case observations, technical notes, and my perspective on F2P game systems.

As Lead Game Designer, I owned the system framework, in-game economy, and monetization design for this title.

I led the early game design, setting the overall direction, structure, combat strategy, and core numbers, and helped the team deliver the initial demo for approval.
