I will help plan and scope your indie game for success


About this gig
Need help planning your game before you start building?
A great game idea isn't enough. Many indie projects fail because they're too ambitious, poorly scoped, or lack a clear development plan.
I work as a Game Producer and Game Designer, and I'll help you evaluate your project before you invest months of development. Whether you're a solo developer, student, or small indie team, I'll provide practical advice based on real production experience.
During the consultation, we can cover topics such as:
- Reviewing your game idea
- Feature prioritization
- Project scope and feasibility
- Production planning
- Milestone planning
- Timeline estimation
- Development risks
- Team workflows
- Game Design Document (GDD) feedback
Every project is different, so the consultation will be tailored to your needs.
This gig is ideal for:
- Solo developers
- Indie studios
- Students
- First-time game founders
- Teams preparing to start production
If you're unsure whether your game is realistic or simply want an experienced producer's opinion before moving forward, I'd be happy to help.
Feel free to message me before placing an order if you have any questions.

FAQ
Who is this consultation for?
This consultation is ideal for solo developers, indie studios, students, and first-time founders who want expert feedback before or during development. Whether you're validating an idea, planning production, or solving development challenges, I'll tailor the session to your project.
What can you help me with?
I can help with game planning, feature prioritization, project scope, milestone planning, production risks, development roadmaps, team workflows, Game Design Documents (GDDs), and general production strategy. Every consultation is tailored to your needs.
What is NOT included?
This gig does not include programming, code reviews, bug fixing, art creation, animation, or implementation work. My role is to provide production and game design guidance, helping you make informed development decisions.
How does the consultation work?
After you place an order, send me a brief overview of your game, along with any relevant documents or questions. We'll schedule a Google Meet session at a mutually convenient time, and I'll prepare beforehand to provide focused, actionable feedback.
Can you review my Game Design Document?
Absolutely. If you already have a GDD, roadmap, pitch deck, or production plan, I can review it and provide detailed feedback during the consultation or as a Gig Extra.
My game is only an idea. Can I still book this gig?
Yes! In fact, this is often the best time to seek advice. Planning your scope, features, and production approach early can save significant time and reduce costly mistakes later in development.
