Louis Van Dyke
I’m a freelance and consulting producer with over a decade of experience making games and helping others to do the same. I’ve worked with studios in Australia and internationally, shipping games across PC, console, mobile, VR, and even a live-service online open-world RPG.
This year, I’ve been striking out on my own, building something sustainable in the indie space with support from the Screen Queensland Games Residency.
With a love of working with creative, multidisciplinary teams, I strive to bring kindness to the games I create and to the process of making them.
Game Development Rituals: The Producer’s Spellbook
TG Lightning Talks @ Queensland Games Festival 2025
Every team has its rituals - standups, task boards, inside jokes. Intentional or accidental, these rituals have invisible power. They shape not just how we work, but what we make. In this lightning talk, I’ll explore how the rhythms of production can be wielded like magic to influence and empower team culture, creativity, and decision-making. Come steal a few spells - or rethink the ones you’re already casting.
