Who Is This For?

If you’re an indie dev or small team with a game that just isn’t connecting with players, this is for you.

💡

"We have lots of ideas, but players don’t ‘get’ the game yet."

"We’ve put in a lot of work, but it’s unclear which parts are really working." 

🧩

"Our mechanics feel disconnected, and we’re not sure how they fit together."

🎯

"Something feels off, but we can’t pinpoint why players aren’t hooked."

Your game deserves to be more than an idea. Let’s explore what makes it unique.

What Makes This Program Different?

Our 3 design pillars are crafted to help game creators like you turn ideas into experiences that truly connect with players:

01

Core Gameplay Validation

Define and test your game’s foundation through structured prototyping and playtesting. We help you quickly identify what’s fun, engaging, and worth building, before investing months of development.

02

Player-Centered Design Framework

Shape mechanics and features around real audience needs. Our framework leverages personas, playtest feedback, and iterative design loops to ensure your game resonates with the right players.

03

Vision-to-Feature Alignment

Bridge the gap between creative ambition and practical scope. We help you prioritize features that deliver on your vision while keeping development feasible, aligned, and investor-ready.

Turn vision into features players care about.

What Makes This Program Different?

We don’t just give you advice, we install momentum. Our approach is built around three core principles that help you regain control of your tech pipeline and build smarter, not harder.

01

Tools That Match Your Team

We don't just recommend tools, we help you choose, set up, and use the ones that actually fit your team size, workflow, and project stage. Most tech solutions are overkill or underbuilt. We focus on lean systems that your team can actually run without hand-holding or full-time specialists.

02

Systems Built to Catch Fire Before They Burn You

We help you install automation and alerts that catch problems early, reduce downtime, and speed up iteration. You shouldn't be discovering broken builds or missing assets during a demo. We give you eyes on the critical paths before things fall apart.

03

Tech That Serves the Whole Team

We make sure your technical systems support designers, producers, and artists, not just programmers. We remove bottlenecks that force your non-programmers to wait or guess.

Let’s Turn Your Tech From a Bottleneck Into a Boost.

What You’ll Get When You Book?

This call is about clarity, confidence, and momentum, not another pitch. You’ve already done the homework, now it’s time to make the next move smarter and easier. Here’s what you’ll walk away with when we talk:

🎯

Focused Tech Strategy Call

We'll dig into your current blockers, goals, and systems. Whether you're stuck in iteration hell, chasing down phantom bugs, or unsure what tech investment makes sense next. I’ll help you cut through the noise and focus on what moves the needle.
🎥

Call Recording with Key Takeaways

You’ll get a recording of the session so you (and your team) can revisit insights, priorities, and next steps, without scrambling to take notes.
🧭

Targeted Recommendations

No generic advice. You’ll get high-impact suggestions based on your tech stack, team size, and current stage, from automation and debugging to vertical slice support.
🛡️

No Pressure Guarantee

This is a value-first call. If we both see a fit, we can talk about working together, but that’s entirely your choice. You’ll leave with clarity either way.

What You’ll Walk Away With?

By the end of this program, your team won’t just be working hard, they’ll be working smart. We’ll help you cut through the noise, unblock your pipeline, and remove the recurring tech issues that slow everything down. You’ll leave with systems and strategies that scale with your game’s complexity, not collapse under it.
