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.
