Welcome!

My name is Rick Naegele. I am a software engineer that has worked in the game industry for 21 years and have shipped 24 titles within that time. My experience has taken me from programming AAA games for major consoles like XBOX 360 and PS3, to toy games on Leap Frog hardware, to video slot machines for casinos.

Lately, I have been coding software for pinball machines. Pinball represents a unique challenge since you need to program physical mechanisms to interact with the ball and player in an engaging and fun way. I have also continued to pursue video game development in my spare time. I have co-founded an independent game studio that launched a game on iOS which was downloaded over 100,000 times on iTunes and was reviewed by Pocket Gamer.

Professionally, I have collaborated with many of the greatest game designers of coin operated games and I prefer working on creating fun gameplay mechanics of any type. This page represents many samples of the projects that I've contributed to over the years. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
