About Me
Hello!
I am Cansu, a game designer and a game artist who has a passion for games and animation. I like to convey this passion by creating characters and stories for games. My goal is to create games that will bring joy to people and make their day a bit better. To accomplish this I am improving myself every day.
When I am not making games, you can find me playing them. I like playing games on my lil' old PC and Switch. If not with those, I am most likely playing board games with my friends.
My other hobbies include making airclay sculptures, playing the ukulele (poorly) and hanging out with animal friends.
