Rick Davidson
Hi, I'm Rick, nice to meet you all.
I've been making video games for a living for more than 2 decades as a Game Designer, Producer, Creative Director, and Executive Producer, creating games for console, mobile, PC and Facebook. I founded an Indie game studio, called Inspirado Games, which was acquired in 2012 by Electronic Arts / PopCap. I also worked on cool IPs such as Mario, Transformers, Captain America and Mortal Kombat and created successful new IPs from scratch (such as "GardenMind" which was nominated for Canadian Game of the Year in the social / mobile category).
As a qualified Career Coach, I've helped thousands of people achieve their dream of making games for a living - both as Indie Game Developers and as valuable game industry employees.

Hi, I’m Gary – It’s a pleasure to meet you.
I’m a self-proclaimed nerd who absolutely loves video games, maths, science, and technology.
I studied Computing & IT with the Open University and was first introduced to GameDev.tv in 2017, when I enrolled on the “Complete Unity Developer” course. I wanted to get serious about making games and a few months later I was a Unity certified developer and now run my own indie game studio.
In my younger years, I worked as a professional musician and private guitar tutor and particularly enjoyed passing on my knowledge to others. So, when the opportunity arose to become a GameDev.tv instructor, I couldn’t pass up the chance to share my knowledge and passion with all of you!
