Welcome to Barrel Band Games
Dip into the reserve and Let your game thrive.
Some of What I Do…
Project Mangement
& Consulting
Having trouble seeing the path ahead to the final stop? Not sure you have what you need to make it to the end? I can help you sort through the problems in your development, clear the road blocks in your path, and give you the structure & tools needed to get your game back on track.
PR Planning &
Support
Sometimes the hardest part of making a game is figuring out how to talk about it. I can help you nail down the messaging around your title and figure out your game’s actual hook. More importantly, I can help you plan out when and how, setting out a PR plan to help your game make the noise it needs.
Copy Writing &
Editing
Lack a way with words? Need some help drafting a press release, fleshing out a Steam page, or just cleaning up the text in your game overall? Well I can craft captivating copy for you that matches your tone and your game to a tee, or polish up what you’ve already written to a mirror sheen.
Trailer & Video
Production
Chances are that the first sight someone will see of your game is the trailer, and a good one helps ensure it won’t be the last they see of it. I can cut together evocative trailers, teasers, and promotional videos for your title that catch people’s eyes and cleanly get your game’s hook across.

"I’ve really appreciated working with Matt. He keeps track of everything, has his ducks in a row, and he’s a straight shooter, which makes working with him easy.
In the early stages, he was a big help with getting our systems in place, including our email setup, CRM, SOPs, press blasts, and key distribution. He also helped us find the right tools and organize pieces that would have taken me much longer to do on my own.
It really helped to have someone come in and lift some of the weight on my end, and there’s a reason why I wanted help from him. As soon as I knew he was available, I snatched him up immediately.”

Words from those who’ve worked with me…
“I worked with Matt for six years, and what I miss most is being able to bring him a problem and get back a perspective I hadn’t considered, usually a very valuable one as he’d suggest solutions that never would’ve occurred to me. I can run a little high-stress, and he had a way of reassuring me that never felt like placating. There was always real information behind it.
What I valued most was how he communicated. He saw the whole organization, not just his own department, so he’d pass along things someone else in his role might not have thought mattered. He had a natural ability to see my job from my point of view and tell me what would help.
He’s also just a really good person, a former colleague who became a friend for life. Anyone hiring him is lucky to get his experience and his guidance. He’ll tell you the hard truths, but he’ll already have a realistic path forward in mind for you and the quiet confidence that things are going to be okay. I have no doubt he’ll be personally invested in every client’s success, and I can’t wait to see what Barrel Band Games does.”
