Willem Delventhal

Hello intrepid game developer! I have been expecting you. I'm Willem Delventhal, and some people call me the Wizard of Joy.I am a game designer specializing in games-adjacent projects that make the world a better place. I am well versed in iterative design, rapid prototyping, Unity and Unreal game development and much more. I dream of a new golden age in the game industry, and the entire world.I aspire to be a modern day Gandalf, urging young heroes to step out their door into grand adventures. I have a goal of helping 10,000 people build games. So far I've helped well over 2,000!I work on many things. Currently I am a Game Designer at Paradox Tectonic, where I am designing content for a hyper moddable life-sim. I also run my own venture called the Indie Game Academy, which is a gamified online school for game developers.I am fascinated by the application of games in unusual circumstances. My experimentations include scientific games for cats, AR enabled board games, gamified hearing health and all sorts of other odds and ends.I am always open to talking to good people, especially those who need direction. If you are building something you think makes the world a better place, or if you just need some advice, I am available. The crownless again shall be king.
