CHEAH SZE VERN
Game Programmer, Unity Developer
ABOUT ME
22 year old game development graduate from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Fiction and stories have always been two things that inspire curiosity in me, and this budding interest would
eventually bloom into my love for the world of video games. Game programming and game writing have since
become my passion, hoping to one day play a part in creating a work that would mean something to both
myself and perhaps someone else.
Outside of work, I’m more of a reserved person and find comfort in the mundanities of everyday life, often in
the company of games, movies, or any other forms of fiction, especially the grounded and personal ones that
speak to the heart, rather than to the mind.

FAVOURITE GAMES
LIFE IS STRANGE
One of my first ventures into the world of story-driven games, and what a journey it has been ever since. A deeply grounded story mixed with themes of human connection, relatable issues, and supernatural elements, all weaved into a compelling experience that'll never be the same as that very first time.
