Good ideas.
Thoughtful support.

Make the pieces
work together.

Work with Luke Richards to sharpen your game’s core design, systems, player experience and creative direction.

From focused feedback on a prototype to a closer look at scope, structure or narrative, the aim is clear, useful advice grounded in development reality.

Stronger teams.
Better decisions.

Tailored game-development training for studios, creative teams and institutions. Work with an existing team or commission a cohort around the skills you need to develop.

Teaching, practical briefs and senior review can cover design foundations, scope, production, narrative, cross-discipline communication and finishing. Tools, delivery format and specialists are agreed for each engagement.

Previous professional training includes work delivered through Mastered. Talks, workshops and guest lectures can also be shaped for your audience.
