As a dedicated gamer since childhood, I long for the days when games were truly captivating and enjoyable. It's disheartening to see so many multi-billion dollar companies prioritize profit over innovation, stifling the creativity that once made the industry so vibrant. I firmly believe that prioritizing fun over profit is the key to creating truly great games.
My passion lies in crafting exceptional games, and I'm deeply committed to sharing my knowledge and experience with others. Thanks to my time with Big Red Planet, I've gained valuable insights and skills that I'm eager to pass on to others in the industry.

"Richard has been extremely helpful in the development of Erenshor and specifically in its marketing strategies. Richard actively looks for new ways to expose the game to would-be fans and works tirelessly to ensure that the project gets the attention that we all feel it deserves.
From setting up and managing a discord community, to building press-kits and drafting press releases, Richard has brought more value to the Burgee Media team than we could have imagined.
Richard not only sets aside ample time each week to dedicate to the project, to consult on its design, and to give feedback on his many hours of playtesting, but he's also always willing to jump on a call to discuss things in person and answer questions in real time.
For a new indie dev trying to make his place in the market, or for a seasoned veteran who just never could get a grasp (or had a desire to HAVE a grasp) on marketing, Richard is a resource that can solve a lot of problems you never knew you had."

"If you're an indie game developer seeking a mentor, advisor, and unmatched support in the industry, I wholeheartedly recommend Richard. I can confidently say that his knowledge and experience in the field of video games are simply great.
I was pleasantly surprised by the way he guided me through the industry's basics, providing me with a clear and concise understanding of the essential elements I needed to grasp.
His ability to offer ideas and effective techniques on how to pitch and market my game. He taught me the art of pitching and how to effectively communicate the essence and unique value proposition of my game to potential investors and publishers. His advice and strategies helped me refine my approach and stand out from the crowd."
