Marcus Tan Zhi Rong

Game Designer in Singapore

​

Hello! I'm Marcus, a Game Designer based in Singapore who loves to create and experience innovative ideas.

​

As an avid video gamer, I have always wondered why most games are similar in terms of gameplay and user experience, which will get boring over time. This inspired me to study game design and join the industry in hopes of changing the way games are now, to make them more interesting and fun.

​

Besides playing video games, I enjoy playing sports such as Pool (cue sports), Badminton and Bowling. In addition, I like to exercise about twice or thrice a week to keep fit and get the energy going until the day ends.
