I’m a games producer: I plan the work, keep your team and publisher aligned, and lead delivery from brief to launch. With 10+ years shipping across VR, console, PC and mobile, I take projects from contract to vertical slice and through certification and first-party pipelines, with milestones on time and within budget. On Thief VR, licensor review went from two weeks to three days.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow

Maze Theory · Lead Producer · 2023 to 2024

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow

Pitch to vertical slice for a much-loved franchise, brought back in VR.

Full story

Quest, PS VR2 and Steam, published by Vertigo Games with Eidos-Montréal, shipped December 2025.

What I did: led 30+ developers and five department leads from pitch through contract to vertical slice. Set vision pillars with the directors, rebuilt the level design pipeline, embedded licensor reviews in milestone planning, and set up outsourcing with Eastern European partners.

Outcome: milestones on time and on budget. Licensor review cut from two weeks to three days. Feature completion up 15%. Outsourcing 30% cheaper at the same quality.

Led the PC version of Xbox’s flagship racing sim.

Full story

Godus

22cans · Head of Production · 2019 to 2020

Legacy, Godus and The Trail

Three titles at once, 40 developers.

Full story

What I did: re-scoped Legacy with a route to soft launch, introduced OKRs and cross-functional strike teams, ran live ops for Godus and user acquisition for The Trail on A/B testing and data.

Outcome: Legacy reached soft launch. Budgets of about £2M ran leaner through reused tooling and renegotiated vendor contracts. Two internal promotions.

Andrej Savcic

About

Hi, I'm Andrej.

Over a decade shipping across VR, console, PC and mobile, at Sumo Digital, Maze Theory, 22cans, PRELOADED and UNIT9. I came into production through IT infrastructure, including projects for Google, and a computer science degree, so I plan around what the build actually takes. My background in anthropology helps teams understand the why behind their work, not just the what.

Through my studio LudoSpark I run production training for studios and games R&D for clients including Greenpeace. I'm based in Bucharest and work in English, Romanian and Italian.

Most production work happens in the gap between what the plan says and what the build actually is. That gap is where my effort goes.

Are you an indie team or a studio / publisher?

Founding clients: I’m taking three founding clients this year, on terms that suit both of us. Ask on the free 20-minute call.

When to bring me in

Most studios call at one of these moments.

  1. A publisher asked to see a vertical slice.
  2. You’ve signed a publisher deal and the first milestone has a date.
  3. Licensor approvals need to fit your milestone plan.
  4. You’re bringing in outsourcing, co-dev or a porting partner.
  5. Your team is growing and the plan needs to grow with it.
  6. Launch, ports and certification are on the calendar.

A producer sits in your publisher meeting and owns your milestone.

Start with an assessment. Keep me on if it helps.

Every engagement starts with an assessment. If you keep me on, its fee comes off the first invoice. Not the right fit after the kick-off call? You get a full refund.

Publishers: I assess a developer’s build, plan and team before you sign.

I play your build, read your plan, schedule, budget and pitch, and interview your leads. You get a written report: where you really are, the five biggest risks, what to cut, and a plan to your next milestone. Plus a 90-minute call. Full refund if it’s not the right fit after the kick-off call.

How it works

How an engagement runs.

Start with a free 20-minute call, then:

  1. DiscoverKick-off call, outcomes agreed, access shared.Kick-off call. We agree three outcomes, and you share the build, plan, schedule, budget, any publisher or licensor agreements, and time with your leads. Everything stays under NDA, and I work in your tools: Jira, Confluence, spreadsheets or whatever you already use.
  2. AssessI play, read and interview your leads.I play the build, read every document and interview your leads, then map the plan against the build, the budget and the runway.
  3. RecommendA written report and a walkthrough call.You get a written report and a 90-minute walkthrough call. Each finding has an owner, a recommendation and the decision you need to make. You choose what to act on, and creative direction stays with your team.
  4. Support · optionalOngoing help, with a handover at the end.I stay on as Producer on call or Embedded producer, with a steady rhythm of sessions and a monthly review. Everything lives in your tools, so your team owns it when we finish.

The first three steps are the two-week project assessment. You keep the report whatever you decide next.

Success, written down

In the first call we write down three outcomes for your project, in your terms. For example: “Milestone 3 accepted by the publisher on 14 March”, “Scope fits the remaining runway”, “Port passes certification on first submission”. Every report and review checks progress against them.

Once I’m on the team

  • A steady rhythm

    Live sessions in fixed weekly slots, a short written status note every week, and a risk register your whole team can see.

  • A monthly review

    Once a month we check progress against the outcomes we agreed. You decide whether to continue, adjust the plan or move to a smaller one.

  • A clean handover

    Every plan, process and document lives in your tools from day one, so your team owns it when the engagement ends.

FAQ

Common questions.

How do we measure whether this worked?

Against the three outcomes we agree at the start. Each monthly review shows where each one stands, in plain numbers and dates.

Will you sign our NDA?

Yes, before I see anything. I can also send my own if you’d rather.

Do you replace our producer?

Producer on call works alongside your producer as senior backup. Embedded producer fills the role when you don’t have one. Either way, your team keeps ownership of the plan.

Do you work with publishers?

Yes. Publishers use the project assessment to get an outside view of a developer’s build, plan and team before they sign, and I can act as the producer on a funded external team.

Can you talk to our publisher or licensor?

Yes. I can join milestone reviews and approval meetings, and prepare the reporting they expect.

How does working across time zones work?

Calls are booked in slots that suit Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific, and written updates keep everyone informed between calls.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, two. If it’s not the right fit after the kick-off call, you get a full refund. And if I don’t deliver the report and the walkthrough as described, you get your money back.

How does payment work?

Half on signing and half when the report is ready. The walkthrough call and the written report follow the second payment. The fee comes off your first invoice if you keep me on.
