The Inspiracy

Freelance Game Design and Production Expertise Picture Welcome to The Inspiracy, the source of expert game design services provided by Noah Falstein, and selected designers and developers in my personal network. I began making games professionally in 1980, and was one of the first 10 employees at Lucasfilm Games (now LucasArts Entertainment), The 3DO Company, and Dreamworks Interactive. I served as the first elected chairman of the IGDA, was the game design columnist for Game Developer Magazine for 6 years, and work as a designer, producer and speaker for companies on every continent except Antarctica. A few of the many games I designed or co-designed: Sinistar, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Chaos Island, Hungry Red Planet, and The Cisco Mindshare Game. Currently I am an advisor for Akili Interactive Labs, XR Developers Conference, StoryUP and the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts. With experience in a very wide range of game genres and platforms, The Inspiracy has often helped both those new to the game industry get a project started, and experienced companies refine or complete particularly difficult projects. I've been adding game techniques and structure to commercial and educational titles for over 20 years, and am a leader in the emerging Neurogaming field. Services include the following, and much more: Create a design or demo on your game concept Figure out how to apply new tech to games Review your existing design or concept Speak or conduct a workshop on design Create a learning, training, or teaching game Add entertaining game concepts to your training Make health maintenance/rehab more enjoyable Teach your team how to make better games "I think Noah Falstein is one of the best designers I've ever met. He knows more about what makes games tick than anyone else." - Ron Gilbert, co-founder of Humongous Entertainment, Creator of The Secret of Monkey Island Please browse the pages on this site to see services rendered by The Inspiracy, more information on past entertainment and serious games, and contact information.
