Leszek Szczepański

I’m a freelance game developer and consultant with almost two decades of experience across mobile, AAA, and franchise-building work. I worked on franchises like CastlevaniaMetal GearWorms, Killzone and Horizon.

I run Leshy Interactive, a consultancy where I help studios with design, engineering, game direction, and production. My approach is rooted in meaningful choices and the belief that audio, visuals, and interactivity should work together to create something greater than the sum of their parts.

My goal is always to make games that are intellectually engaging, emotionally resonant, and impossible to put down.
