Yes. While the concepts are used by experienced teams, the method is simple and works for solo devs, students, and small teams too.

No. The technique works with any engine including custom ones. It’s about how you validate features and systems, not which tool you use.

No recording will be sent. This session is designed for live attendance so you can ask questions, get real-time insight, and see how to apply this to your project directly.

You’ll walk away with a clear 3 step method to validate your game idea, plus a free downloadable Tech Check Template to use on your next feature or project.

 Yes, totally free. If you find it valuable and want help applying the method to your current project, you’ll have the option to book a 1:1 call after the session.
