Patrick is terrific! I’ve known Patrick since 2019. He is very experienced on an international level and successful in the complete games business: from User Psychology, to Game Design, Game Analysis, Blockchain, Web3 and NFTs. His knowledge, which he conveys in a target group-oriented way, has always supported me in my work and has already led to successes in the short term. Patrick is always up to date with new developments and follows a holistic approach. I can highly recommend working with Patrick.

I am happy and thankful to have had his support for this successful project. A big thanks to him. Besides this concrete support Patrick was a great partner to kick around ideas and discuss best practices. A great guy to be around.

Daniel Ny
Indie Developer
Earlier this week I had the pleasure to attend a Masterclass with the topic “Success Factors of Games & The Power of Play” led by Patrick Rose. As a Indie developer working on my first bigger project the information and experience shared by Patrick was invaluable and I’m super happy we got this now when we still have time to make changes in the game but also include this when planning our marketing strategy.
Professionally, this was probably the most valuable and interesting eight hours I’ve had this year.
