Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLinying Li is a narrative designer and art historian with 12 years of experience crafting world-building, scripts, and transmedia consistency for major Chinese game IPs, most recently as Senior Narrative Designer at NetEase Games on 大话西游2. She bridges creative and technical teams—planning art assets, coordinating tool upgrades, and mentoring junior designers—while also delivering localization and commercial design for live services. Trained in art history (MA, University of York) and marketing (BBA), she combines historical research and visual direction to produce culturally resonant game narratives and assets. Unexpectedly technical for a storyteller, she contributes to open-source Rust projects (poem, cargo, deno), fixing platform-specific bugs and improving backend stability. Based in Guangzhou, she blends academic rigor, production-grade narrative craft, and hands-on engineering fluency to ship polished, culturally aware game experiences.
