I Can Help

Over the past 20 years I've been a game developer, producer, and publisher. And while I don't have ALL the answers, I can provide a lot of context for you and your team.

⚠️
If you have a publishing offer(s) on the table, I cannot tell you which is the best deal but I can provide context to help with your decision.

I am not a lawyer and cannot provide legal advice but may have insight into why certain clauses might have been included in an offer.

All conversations will be treated as private and confidential - but an MNDA can be provided prior to scheduling a call if you'd like.

If you have questions about any of the services below 👇 before booking, please don't hesitate to reach out! The 3 best ways to get ahold of me, in order of preference are:

  1. 📬 Email: sean [at] baconandgames.com
  2. 🟣 Discord: Find me @baconandgames (server coming soon)
  3. 🐦 Twitter DMs @baconandgames

Services

☎️ General Call ($50/$100)

Have questions about your project, finding a publisher, or the industry at large? Use this call to address your questions and concerns.

💜
If your team is super indie and truly cannot afford to enlist my services, I set aside a few free slots a month for teams like yours. We all need a little extra help from time to time. Those can be booked here.

📼 Gameplay Feedback Video ($200)

I will record myself playing your game for an hour and narrate my inner monologue as I play, so you can see/hear why I'm making the choices I am or what your game is signaling to players.

I will be looking at your game from the perspective of a player, a game developer, and a publisher so you can catch snags and find opportunities from all angles. This comes with a 60 minute follow up call to talk through what I encountered. The video will be delivered privately no less than 48 hours prior to our call.

You will be prompted to fill out a form with relevant information at checkout.

⚠️
If you are working with a publisher, I would like to be respectful of their relationship with you. Please make sure they're OK with outside opinions and be prepared to provide extra context for my feedback. I DO NOT wish to come between you and your publisher.

👨‍💻 Pitch Deck Review ($250)

If you're preparing a pitch deck for publishers and would like feedback before sending it out, this call is for you.

We'll have a 60 minute call to address your questions, review your deck, and cover what to expect from the pitch process. No less than 48 hours in advance of our call, I will add comments to your Google Slides pitch deck (make a copy!)

Before booking this, consider reviewing my free video series on pitching to publishers first. You will be prompted to fill out a form with relevant information at checkout.


🗓️ Production and Team Management Session ($250)

If your team is struggling to scope your project, build a timeline for launch, or get back on track we'll use this call to review your resources, goals, and assemble a plan to get your game back on track.

When you book, you'll fill out some questions to help me prepare and then we'll have a 90 minute call to work on getting you unstuck.

⚠️
If you are currently working with a publisher, I cannot offer these services to you unless done so at the request of your publisher.
