Lao Liu Makes Games

I’m Lao Liu, an indie game developer who plays games and makes them. I’m the creator of Pulucat and the developer of Travelling Home: Ever After.

On this channel, I break down the levels, systems, and design decisions behind great games to understand why they are fun. I also document the real process of building an indie game—from design and art to production and release.

I’m also a practitioner of AI-assisted game development. I share how AI tools are actually used in the production of a Steam game, including their costs, limitations, and boundaries: what they can accelerate, and which creative decisions still need a human developer.
