I'm Legendary Little Pig.

I'm an engineer and a longtime gamer. I like figuring out what makes a game fun, then trying new technology to build things people can play or use.

I make small games, indie projects and software tools, exploring how one person can create with AI. This site holds my work, development logs, workflows and lessons learned, along with games and technology that catch my attention. My cat makes an occasional appearance, too.

This site is for people making small games, indie projects and developer tools. Start with the work and development cases, then compare your ideas with the game highlights.

Daily research starts at 07:00 and 19:00 Beijing time and is published when complete. Games and development notes are updated as projects progress. Weekly reports are still being prepared; none are public yet.

I also welcome conversations about collaborating on games, tools and research.
