- I won’t be making your game for you – your game is yours to make your way.
- My goal is to provide honest advice, expert critiques, and specific homework for you to do before our next call.
- Refund policy: no refunds. I’ll be as flexible as I can in ensuring you get 12 sessions throughout the year.
- Any unused sessions will expire December 31, 2025.
- Can’t make it one month? Reschedule it and double up the next month. Life happens – I’m here for you.
Chris Backe has been my accountability coach for the past 9 months (and counting) through monthly digital 1-on-1 sessions. I can confidently say he is an exceptional and knowledgeable accountability coach. Chris has a remarkable ability to quickly identify potential next steps based on your current progress while empowering you to explore and implement what you feel is most effective. Each meeting concludes with a straightforward action plan, which we revisit in our subsequent sessions to ensure you’re on track. The value you gain from this experience is directly proportional to the effort you invest, so I encourage you to fully commit. If you’re looking to navigate this industry, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris as your guide.

Chris Backe, accountability coach extraordinaire, has helped to propel me along the path to publication for my next design. Each month during 2024, Chris reviewed my progress, provided insightful feedback and resources, challenged me to excel, and redirected me when I went off track. His assistance has been so vital that I decided to enlist in the program again in 2025. With the continuing check-ins, I am confident I will be in a position to get my design onto gamers’ tables next year!

Previous clients and testimonials
“We just hired Chris Backe to consult with us before we start pitching our game to publishers and it was a big help. Chris gave us a lot of helpful advice on focusing our materials more toward what publishers actually want to see. I just wanted to give him a shout out. Highly recommended!”
“…your meeting was extremely insightful and proved to give me tons of helpful pointers making my journey as a developer much more clear. I feel like I dodged bullets and got refined direction from you!”
“Chris has a wide breadth of game knowledge and an excellent eye for quality game mechanics. He was very comprehensive with me on the feedback he gave. He’s extremely easy to work with and I was glad I got a chance to have help me on my game.”
“I think direction was the real value. Actions I can take, are always more helpful than ideas. “Define the high level look of the game-play, and focus on creating a polishing introduction scenario experience.” In my situation, with where my head was at before, that advice was incredibly helpful.”
Chris Backe helped us develop our game Mⱥhr during the past year and it is fair to say that without his expertise we would not have brought the game to the state it is in: fully developed, playtested and ready for production. Would we recommend Chris to other game designers? Hell yeah! And we will hire him again for our next project.
