MAKING AN IMPACT!
Hi, I'm Barry, an Independent Gamer who wants to make an Impact to Developers and Gamers across the world. I have over a decade of experience creating content and collaborating with Game Developers and Publishers of all sizes, from Indie to AAA. I believed that the industry needed someone who could bring Developers, Publishers and PR companies together. I did this with an independant showcase called 'Impact Direct', which has featured Grant Kirkhope, David Wise, Doug Cockle, Ubisoft and more. With Impact Direct, I constantly develop relationships with exisiting and new contacts and I hope to continue these relationships. This is where we come to 'Impact Game Labs' which offers various services such as Quality Assurance, Game Evaluation and more. Please don't hestitate to contact me if you are in need of my services.
