The Story of Indie Game Developers

独立游戏开发者的故事

「STEAM Breakfast Bites 原力早餐会」是 「She Rewires她原力」 社群所举办的一系列超级个体的共建互动活动。我们致力于通过原力满满的早餐会谈，促进新技术、创新思维和前沿实践的交流并和潜在超级个体一起孵化和共建项目。我们的目标是激发社群的自我领导力和借助集体智慧和创造力，推动共同构建和创新的进程。

STEAM Breakfast Bites is a series of collaborative and interactive events organized by the She Rewires community, focused on empowering super individuals. Through energizing breakfast talks, we aim to foster the exchange of new technologies, innovative thinking, and cutting-edge practices, while incubating and co-building projects with potential high achievers. Our goal is to inspire self-leadership within the community and drive collective innovation and co-creation by harnessing collective wisdom and creativity.

在原力早餐聚会上，我们不仅能够分享知识，还能激发灵感，共同探索科技、工程、艺术和数学（STEAM）领域的需求场景、实践路径、成功案例以及无限可能。同时希望可以吸引到有志于使命驱动的超级个体和项目得以被发现和孵化。

At the She Rewires Breakfast Bites Meetups, we not only share knowledge but also spark inspiration, exploring needs, practical approaches, success stories, and endless possibilities in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM). We also aim to attract mission-driven individuals and uncover and incubate promising projects.

Feel Free to join and participate in the topic discussion titled "The Story of Indie Game Developers."

赵源，本科毕业后的第一份工作是云计算后端工程师。由于个人兴趣爱好广泛，并且想要发挥自己的创作欲望，希望能够创作出完全属于自己的作品，她决定辞去工作，并与朋友共同创立了一喵游戏。她们从2019年开始陆续开发游戏，其中极简风格的解谜系列作品《隐匿按钮》受到了玩家的广泛好评。在2023年，她获得了英国志奋领奖学金，前往伦敦玛丽女王大学学习Computer Games专业。目前，她已回国，并继续投入到她们尚未完成的动物主角剧情解谜游戏《猫在家里》的开发工作中。

Zhao Yuan, She started her career as a backend engineer in cloud computing after earning her undergraduate degree. With a wide range of personal interests and a strong desire to express her creativity, she aspired to create something entirely her own. This led her to leave her job and co-found a game studio called Meowsoft. Since 2019, they have been developing games, and their minimalist-style puzzle series, "Hidden Buttons" has received widespread acclaim from players. In 2023, she was awarded the Chevening Scholarship to pursue an MSc in Computer Games at Queen Mary University of London. Currently, she has returned to China to continue working on their unfinished animal-themed narrative puzzle game, "Cat at Home."
