Bio
Xu Xiaojun
Renaud is a master of game design, a leader and a great mentor, who clearly understands the intricacy of balancing the many meaningful player choices. Renaud has a clear vision of the game he wants to create while genuinely listens to the team and adapts his design. He also has a deep understanding of the technical aspects of game production, and is always providing constructive advice to designers as well as programmers. I have learned a huge amount from Renaud, and it is most fortunate in my career to be able to work with such a rare talent.
