Hello.
My name's Owen McDonnell, director here at False Prism. I started this studio in 2024 after a decade of working in games with one goal: to help the industry make better games.
​
Throughout all this time I've been a technical game designer, working with both indie and AAA studios. I've developed systems, managed teams, and had a hand in numerous released titles. Most importantly through all this, I've learned what it means to make a game fun.
​
Now, over a decade after starting in games myself. I want to share all this knowledge. I want to help the next generation of designers make awesome things, do awesome stuff, and be awesome people. And, let's be real, I want to continue making awesome games as well.
Our Mission:
We're here to teach awesome people.
​
Making games rocks, but it's also challenging. Sure we can build up systems and have a playable experience, but what's the science behind making a game fun? Do games even need to be fun? We're going to break down games into the pieces you might not have even thought about. You'll understand how to engage players like you've never done before and open up your games to entirely new audiences. Guaranteed*.
*probably. idk what you know.
​
We're here to make sick games.
​​​
This is a game studio after all, of course we're getting in on the action! We'll be putting into practice everything we preach. Expect to hear from us down the line on what we've got going on behind the scenes.
​​
We're here to tell you all about it.
​
We'll keep you up to date on everything along the way. Let's improve the quality of games. Let's improve access to games. Let's push the industry to be as talented as possible across the board. By the time you're done hearing from us you'll need a new skull for that big brain of yours.
