He showed great adaptability, adjusting smoothly to evolving requirements, all while maintaining a high professional standard.

I hired Yevgeny for script consulting and rewriting dialogues for the story-based game "Odyssey in the Dead Sea". Yevgeny went above and beyond throughout the writing process, contributing to the structure, plot, and game design. He is professional, works efficiently, is full of ideas, and has consistently done more than expected to help improve the game.

Yevgeny has a great combination of innovative ideas, narrative, and character design along with a technical skillset that allows him to be extremely versatile. He is open to feedback and I had a great time working with him on our RPG.
Yiftach Ringel
Banditos Studio, Founder & CTO
Yevgeny designed the narrative, levels, and some of the characters for our game. His excellent ideas and technical skills helped make the game interesting, engaging, and even funny for our players. He is open to feedback and discussion and doesn’t mind doing multiple iterations until he gets the job done right.
Anthony Williams III
Razor Edge Games, Writing Team Lead
Yevgeny's ability to lead instantly after joining the team shortly before the request was astounding to watch. He is creative, bright, and adaptable. A pleasure to have on the team! Anyone who has the opportunity to have him on their team is lucky but also well-equipped for any challenge.
Neema Ejercito
Razor Edge Games, Game Writer
Working with Yevgeny is one of the things I will miss most about Razor Edge. In the short amount of time I've worked with him, he skillfully managed his team, seemed to know how to build us up according to our strengths, and was more than helpful when it came to our weaknesses. He was excellent at keeping us on track and pushing us forward.

Yevgeny has completed the Game Narrative Design course and the Game Writer course at an Online school by Alla Dovhaliuk. He mastered the course program excellently, being one of the most proactive in the groups.
