IndieUXR - Player-Centric Game Research

Build Your Studio's Research Power.

Good game design shouldn't be a lottery. Too many projects suffer from decisions based on guesswork, internal politics, and chaotic feedback, leading to wasted time and money. My core philosophy is that understanding your players is the most effective way to de-risk your investment and build games that succeed commercially and creatively.

My goal isn't just to give you a single report. It's to partner with your studio to install a permanent, professional process for making smart, evidence-based decisions. We work together to build your team's capability, giving you the confidence and clarity to create a hit.

Building a Resilient Studio

My role is to serve as the architect of your studio's player-research process. I provide the expert blueprint and senior oversight to ensure you're building a successful game on a solid foundation, saving you from costly rebuilds down the line.

1. The Blueprint (Strategic Design)

Before you lay a single brick, we design the strategic blueprint. We define what success looks like and map out a clear, phase-by-phase plan to get there, ensuring every development effort serves the larger vision for the game.

2. Building Capability (Team Mentorship)

I work alongside your team, mentoring them on how to use the tools and techniques of player-centric design effectively. I don't just hand over a plan; I teach your crew how to build, making them a more capable and self-sufficient team.

3. Quality Inspection (Expert Review)

Before you commit resources to a major build, I provide the crucial quality inspection. Acting as a second pair of expert eyes, I review your plans and prototypes to catch foundational flaws before they become expensive problems.

4. The Masterclass (Team Workshops)

For teams seeking a concentrated dose of expertise, I offer tailored workshops and seminars. We'll develop a curriculum based on my published work to address your specific challenges in game design, reward systems, or games user research, rapidly leveling-up your team's skills.
