Secret of Games

The Secret of Games

Hi, I’m Tj’ièn. I’m on a mission to unlock the secrets of games. Specifically what makes them so incredibly fun?

I also help people in the games industry. I offer coaching, mentorship, strategic advice and I guide start-ups, established businesses, game development veterans, newcomers and students.

I’m a naturally optimistic person, I see challenges instead of roadblocks. I’m pragmatic and solution focused. I listen and empathize to try to understand the situation before I try to help. I have a hard time accepting the status quo, which is probably one reason I love the game industry.

I really love the game industry, it is filled with people who care deeply about creating something wonderful and positive. I love this industry as it still holds many secrets and the perfect game formula has yet to be discovered. There’s no industry that shares their learnings – good or bad – so openly with their colleagues and competitors.

Creating a game is a journey, an adventure with so many things to discover. With a history in game design, game production and creative leadership I have the experience that allows you and your team to take shortcuts, cross the dangerous ravines of doubt and soar to launch and beyond confidently. For years I kept my hands dirty as game director at Story Giant Games, and now I’m rediscovering game making as a solo developed.  

Do you feel stuck in your position? Want to change course? Did you find success but are unable to repeat it? Have you been iterating for many times without making any progress? Is initial momentum and enthusiasm slipping away together with the faith of the project? Is the team lapsing in despair and low on energy?

Who knows, maybe together we can unlock the secret of your game…
