Ken Wong｜《纪念碑谷》设计师

介绍一下你自己和所做的工作。

我是 Ken Wong，ustwo games 的主设计师。《纪念碑谷》（Monument Valley）是我们的作品之一，我们的虚拟现实游戏《遗忘边际》（Land’s End）最近也发布了。

你都在使用哪些硬件？

苹果的 MacBook Pro。

软件呢？

基本上我所有的游戏设计和绘画工作都通过 Unity 和 Photoshop 完成。在家和工作时我都会用 MacBook。听音乐我现在只用 Spotify，我不是很在乎我是否「拥有」音乐。我喜欢 Spotify 的全平台同步功能。

我有个 iPhone 6s。我用 Pocket Casts 听播客，Feedly 订阅 RSS，Twitterrific 刷推。照片处理用 VSCO Cam，文件同步用 Dropbox。我也有个 iPad Air 2，主要用来看 Netflix 和打游戏（比如《炉石传说》）。

总体来说，我喜欢苹果的生态环境。虽然会有一些限制，但它们不会影响我的工作流。我也不怎么用苹果的一些高级功能比如 iCloud，我喜欢简单。

你最理想的工作环境是什么？

有站立办公桌。安静的地方。

（现在我用的站立办公桌是定制的。没什么特别的。）

你平时获得工作灵感的方式有哪些？

好的设计师在哪儿都能获得灵感。

推荐一件生活中的利器给大家。

一个搅拌机。我每天早上会用它来做水果奶昔。很好用。它特别适合做一人份的水果奶昔，而且挺便宜的。

Who are you, and what do you do?

My name is Ken Wong. I’m a lead designer at ustwo games. We made an award-winning mobile game called Monument Valley and we have a VR game coming out soon called Land’s End.

What hardware do you use?

Apple MacBook Pro.

And what software?

As I mentioned, almost all my games and illustration work is done in either Unity or Photoshop. I use MacBooks both at home and at work. For music listening, I only use Spotify now, I don’t care about ‘owning’ music. I love that Spotify syncs on all my devices.

I have an iPhone 6s. I use Pocket Casts for podcasts, Feedly for RSS news, and Twitterrific for Twitter. I use VSCO Cam for photoediting, and Dropbox for file syncing. I have an iPad Air 2, which I mostly use for Netflix, and games like Hearthstone.

Overall, I quite like being based around the Apple ecosystem. There are limitations, but they generally don’t affect my workflow. I also don’t make much use of some of Apple’s more advanced features like iCloud, I like to keep things simple.

What is your ideal work environment?

Standing desk. Quiet.

(Now I’am using a custom made standing desk. Nothing fancy.)

Where does your work inspiration come from?

A good designer finds inspiration in anything and everything.

Recommend a useful tool for daily life.

A blender. I’ve been having a smoothie every day for breakfast. It’s been good. It’s great for making smoothies for one person, and it’s pretty cheap.
