Game Design Consulting & Testing

10

10 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Jul 28, 2016

I will read over your rules, game design document, or whatever material you would like me to read, and provide commentary on the mechanics, graphic design, clarity, balance, and "fun factor".

I do board games, card games, role playing games, and video games.

I also have a bi-weekly board game design group that I can bring your game to and get feedback on a blind playtest. You will have to provide the materials for this request, but we love doing it!

Training & Qualifications

I am a hardcore gamer and hobbyist game designer. I have created many games, have an active game prototyping group, and work with a few friends through our gaming company (OPifex Entertainment, LLC).

Availability & Preferences

Weeknights and most weekends.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Ryan Wilson

Ryan is a super-nerd. All of his hobbies revolve around gaming, and he loves the steampunk, fantasy, and cybertech genres the most. He'll geek out about pretty much everything he can get his hands on;... the further it is from reality, the better. Of course, he is a down-to-earth guy when he needs to be. His software job at Blue Medora keeps him busy during the day, ensuring all of your IT infrastructure is healthy and running efficiently! When out of the office, Ryan enjoys playing and designing board games, card games, video games, and tabletop role-playing games (RPGs). He has designed dozens of games (though none actually produced as-of-yet), and is currently working to create his first RPG book, "Hostargo". If you're interested in Ryan's game design ramblings, check out his blog: http://mysteriouslever.blogspot.com/ His beautiful wife Gabby came up with the rocking blog name. Ryan is terrible at naming things. At this point, if you're still reading, you must be deeply interested in Ryan's life story. And, because Simbi is telling me I need 1400 characters, I suppose this is the last sprint. Ryan is Canadian, but has lived in the US since he was six years old. He grew up in Louisiana, then moved out to Connecticut for a couple of years before landing in Michigan (his dad got moved around for work a bunch). He went to school in the UP of Michigan, at Michigan Technological University, and then moved to Grand Rapids where he lives happily with his wife Gabby.show more
