game design consulting

let's improve your game?

I help studios identify problems, explore solutions, and improve their games through game design consulting. The work is tailored to each project's needs, from focused reviews to ongoing development support.

how can I help?

→ Game Feel & Gameplay

Analyzing game mechanics and interactions to identify opportunities to make the experience more satisfying, responsive, and fun.

→ onboarding & UX

improving how players learn, understand, and interact with the game's mechanics and systems.

→ Systems & Balance

Analyzing systems, progression, economy, balance, and interactions between mechanics.

→ General Game Design

A second opinion on design decisions, identifying problems, and suggesting ways to improve the player experience.

how does it work?

01. Initial conversation

We start by understanding the project, its stage of development, and the studio's main challenges. From there, we define where consulting can provide the most value.

02. Game analysis

I play and analyze the project to understand its mechanics, systems, and current player experience. The goal is to identify problems, opportunities, and areas that deserve closer attention.

03. Feedback & Documentation

I organize observations into feedback and improvement suggestions, using written and visual documentation to help the team understand, discuss, and implement ideas.

04. Follow-up

We discuss recommendations with the team and, depending on the engagement model, review implemented changes, assess new builds, and explore further opportunities for improvement.

how can we work together?

One-off consulting

For discussing specific issues, reviewing mechanics, or getting a second opinion on game design decisions.

Hourly packages

For a more structured game review, documented feedback, and work on the most important opportunities for improvement.

Ongoing consulting

For ongoing development support, discussing design decisions, and reviewing improvements over time.

The format, scope, and investment are agreed upon together, according to the project's needs.

studios & collaborations

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with different game studios, companies and projects.
