Schedar

I’m Mert Kazancılar, a game designer and co‑founder of Five Punch Studio in İzmir, Turkey. I’m currently completing my B.A. in Psychology at Celal Bayar University, and I draw on my studies of player behavior and motivation to inform every design choice. At Five Punch, I lead the creation of core gameplay mechanics, map out level progression, and guide our UI/UX decisions—working hand‑in‑hand with artists, programmers, and producers to craft intuitive, memorable experiences. I love sharing insights and sparking conversations around player engagement and interface best practices, and I’m always eager to learn from and contribute to the wider game development community.
