Game designer / Gameplay developer
I’m Yibo, a Game Design, Development & Innovation master’s student at Duke. I create playable systems, readable levels, and interactive stories in Unity and Unreal Engine.
Seeking Summer 2027 internships · Durham, NCFour games. Four different strengths.
Explore a connected tower, earn traversal abilities, and decide when to spend the Spirit that powers both movement and survival.
Tilt to build momentum, counter-tilt to brake, lift to jump, and turn the crank to reshape a route through floating roads.
Change size. Change the solution. Body mass becomes the rule behind movement, machinery, and a connected sequence of spatial puzzles.
A road incident becomes a frozen scene to explore. Investigate its cause, choose whom to rescue, and carry the consequences into the next encounter.
How I work
I work across gameplay and level design, prototyping, scripting, and implementation. These four projects connect systems depth, physical interaction, spatial puzzles, and narrative investigation to playable experiences.
My broader experience includes interactive prototyping at Showonder, tracked-hand VR, software projects, photography, and filmmaking. Each case study separates my contribution from third-party and AI-assisted assets.
VR, software, research, film, photography, and community projects — beyond the four featured games.
Tracked-glove locomotion, climbing, combat, and puzzle interactions across three progressively layered VR levels.
