Production and QA Consulting for indie studios

I've spent two decades in games. I've shipped over a dozen titles from indies to MMOs and built QA processes that teams actually follow. Now I'm helping indie studios ship cleaner.

What I Do

The test pass is just the first step. If we're a good fit, I also do longer-term work:

QA Process Design

Testing processes your team will actually follow. Test plans, bug tracking workflows, regression systems. Built for how you actually work.

Production Support

Sprint planning, pipeline fixes, cross-discipline coordination. Getting your artists, programmers, and designers moving in the same direction.

Jira Setup

Atlassian certified Jira configurations for teams from 5 to 50+ people. Workflows that make sense, boards that don't suck.

Who I Am

Tester/Producer

I've been in game dev since 2007, working my way up from community volunteer to leading teams at studios like Cryptic, Trion Worlds, and Aeria Games. I've shipped over a dozen titles, mostly MMOs where everything breaks in creative new ways.

After the industry downturn in 2024, I founded Risbin Games LLC to provide QA and Production consulting for indie studios. I spent most of 2025 working with a small indie studio to help them ship their first game. Now I'm looking for my next challenge.
