Valis Teoh

Valis Teoh (they/he) is a queer Malaysian game designer of both the tabletop and video game variety who loves exploring the fantastical in the mundane, and bringing them to life through the creative abilities they wield.

As an illustrator, they adore color and atmosphere, telling a story through mood rich pieces. As a writer and designer, he has a fondness of themes of grief and queerness, which is featured in both of his prominent works: Starlight, a tabletop roleplaying game about rediscovering who you are and finding home, and Passage, their final year project in university that tells a story about overcoming grief and loss in video game format.

As a TTRPG designer, worldbuilding is their bread and butter, and they strive to bring their cultural notes in their pursuits! You can check out his illustrative work on their portfolio here, and their games over at his itch.io!
