CONSULTING FOR
INDIE GAME DEVELOPERS

Stuart Denman

Skip the expensive trial-and-error and move directly toward what actually works.

Contact me and let’s talk about your project. I'm always happy to offer free mentorship and then for anything more in-depth, I offer paid consulting at indie-friendly rates.

As the creator of the award-winning puzzle game Tiny Bubbles, winner of 15 industry awards with 3 million+ downloads, I have a 30+ year history of turning ideas into hits. I've also founded three game studios. Let me help make your game a success on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC, Mac, Linux, Steam, iOS, and Android.
