Hey, I'm Bryan.

I make tools and games for indie devs.

PlayScout finds the YouTubers and streamers who'd actually play your game. ComposerScout helps you find the composers, artists, voice actors and other creators to make it. And on the side I'm making my own game, No Soliciting. It's all built in public, so come follow along.

Find the YouTubers and streamers who already play games like yours, including the small ones you'd never find yourself. Paste your Steam link, get a ranked shortlist based on what they actually post, and see the top 10 free. Then track who you pitched, who wrote back and who needs a follow up. Made by an indie dev, for indie devs.

Higher worlds together

Maevyra exists to help small creators get seen, from the indie dev looking for players to the artist or composer looking for their first game.

I'm Bryan, and I build every piece of it myself, in public. Labs makes the tools, Studios makes the games, and the devlog shows how it's going.
