Hi everyone,
I’m looking to connect with indie developers, small teams, or solo Unreal builders who have a game idea, setting, prototype, or half-formed concept but need help turning it into a clear playable direction.
What I’m best at is not coding or asset creation. My strength is taking raw creative material and shaping it into something a team can actually build toward:
-
core gameplay loops
-
vertical slice structure
-
player fantasy
-
level/encounter flow
-
world-to-gameplay translation
-
faction and system logic
-
prototype scope control
-
“what does the player actually do?” design
I’m especially useful when a project has a cool world, premise, or mechanic but the playable shape is still fuzzy.
For example, I can help answer questions like:
-
What should the first playable prototype actually prove?
-
Where should the player start?
-
What is the smallest version of this idea that still feels like the real game?
-
What does the first level/encounter need to teach?
-
How do the world, enemies, systems, and player choices connect?
-
What should be cut, delayed, or protected from scope creep?
I work well in concept and pre-production stages, especially for teams that already have a programmer, Unreal generalist, or technical designer who can build the playable version. I can provide clear written design documents, vertical slice outlines, encounter concepts, world/system breakdowns, and prototype direction.
A simple example of what I do:
Give me a rough idea like “a co-op survival game about crossing a dangerous wilderness,” and I’ll help shape it into a focused prototype: who the players are, what the first playable space is, what danger pressures them, what choices matter, what the core loop is, and what a small team should build first.
I’m not here to claim I can do everything. I’m looking for the right fit: a team or developer who needs someone strong at creative structure, gameplay framing, world logic, and turning big ideas into buildable first steps.
If you have a project that feels interesting but unfocused, I’d be happy to talk and see if I can help clarify the playable direction.
Thanks for reading.
