I\u2019m Abhishek Ambre. I am a Game Designer, and I love making games!! I\u2019m currently pursuing my Master\u2019s degree at the Entertainment Technology Center, Carnegie Mellon University.\u00a0From a young age, I&#8217;ve been drawn into the wondrous world of video games, science fiction and history! I see the world through a gamer&#8217;s eyes. I have played numerous games since my childhood. Over the years I have tried to take the experience to a higher level.\u00a0I started off playing games casually and moved to playing them professionally over a variety of tournaments then moving on to organizing the tournaments and finally I moved to developing games. Through this journey, I have seen different aspects of a game and how it affects the people who play them.\u00a0One thing I realized and was amazed by, is the amount of thought and effort put behind making a simple game mechanic. With a passion for games, and love for design, I began analyzing the games I played in detail. This was the beginning of my journey in the field of game design.\u00a0I strongly believe that the key to delivering the most epic experiences through games lie within each discipline involved \u2013 be it art, programming, or customer support.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Yiheng Zhu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-70 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/ikelos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Zhu-Yiheng-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Zhu, Yiheng\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\":lr\" class=\"ii gt m152952c6cd397b93 adP adO\">\n<div id=\":lq\" class=\"a3s\">\n<p>Born and raised in Guangzhou, China, Yiheng Zhu has been seriously interested in computer graphics and storytelling.
