“The depth of any story is proportionate to the protagonist’s commitment to their goal, the complexity of the problem, and the grace of the solution.” 

– Steve House

Scree Games is an independent game studio. It is owned and operated by Dave Leary (me!), a game designer and producer with over 25 years of experience. I’m also one-half of the hosting team on the “Player, Too!” podcast, which features insider takes and interviews with game developers.

This website is also the home of the Scree Games blog, where I write about the game industry and my time working in it, along with design analysis and thoughts about games I like. I advocate for issues of concern to developers, including eliminating crunch, good project planning, building strong employee-focused labor organizations, and promoting genuine profit participation. 

The content on the podcast and blog reflects my own personal opinions and experiences. It does not reflect the positions or opinions of my employers or clients – past, present, or future.

Scree Games is available for consulting engagements in 2026.
