I try my best to make quality products.
If you have something worthwhile going on and you think I could help, or want me to run the show, let me know. Consulting preferred. I have the most expertise in balancing and designing competitive games. I balanced Puzzle Fighter HD, Kongregate's CCG, my own three card games, and Street Fighter. I designed all the card games from the ground up.
I've learned that not many developers really understand the market of competitive games, so that's where I can help. That said, I also like pointless, wacky small games as much as the next guy. Even though I'm seen as a hardcore player, I want to make things as easy as possible for the poor new player, and I would enjoy exploring new kinds of games and game mechanics.
Enjoy the site.
