Kevin Liu
Chief Developer
Kevin was inspired by interviews with game developers about the process they go through when designing their games. He decided to establish his own game development team so that he could introduce his ideas to the video game industry. Thus Tangent was born, and Kevin continues to pursue this dream by spearheading game development at Tangent.
