HI, I'M LANCE
GAME PRODUCER · INDIE FOCUSED
A decade at The Coalition, Unity, and Ubisoft. Now: indie. You've got funding and vision, but production structure often lags behind. I bring AAA process to indie scale, so your investment turns into a shipped game.
Ready to scale?
SERVICES
PRODUCTION
Milestone tracking, scheduling, risk management, and team coordination from pre-production to launch. I've shipped at The Coalition, Unity, and Ubisoft, and I know how to scale it for indie teams.
KICKSTARTER
Campaign strategy, timeline planning, marketing execution, and backer communication. I'm running one now.
SYSTEMS
Jira setup, prioritization frameworks, and documentation systems tailored to indie teams. Buy the template or hire me to build it.
PARTNERSHIPS
Rev share and retainer arrangements for studios that need a producer but can't hire full-time.
Not sure what you need? Let's figure it out.
PROJECTS
What am I working on now?
KAMIQUEST: ENTER THE IMAGYNASIUM
A whimsical 3D platformer where you play as Sabbath, an energetic dalmatian exploring the ever-shifting Imagynasium, a living castle full of quirky spirits and surreal worlds. Managing scope, timeline, and go-to-market for a small global team.
