Welcome!

Hi, I'm Rick Naegele, a software engineer with 24 years of experience in the game industry and a portfolio of 26 shipped titles. My career spans diverse platforms and projects, from programming AAA games for major consoles like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, to creating toy games for LeapFrog devices, and developing video slot machines for casinos.

More recently, I've been coding software for pinball machines, tackling the unique challenge of synchronizing physical mechanisms with the unpredictable dynamics of the ball to create engaging, interactive gameplay. In addition to my professional work, I've pursued my passion for video game development as a co-founder of an independent game studio. One of our titles, launched on iOS, reached over 100,000 downloads.

I've had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most talented designers in the world of coin-operated games. My passion lies in crafting fun, compelling gameplay mechanics across any medium. This page showcases a selection of projects I've contributed to over the years.

If you have any questions or would like to connect, feel free to reach out.
