II. Pitch your Game Presentation: Next week you will be giving a 3-5 minute presentation on your game. It is here where you will be distilling and packaging some of the main ideas. Who is your audience? Decide who the pitch is for: investors/technologists/players

Create slideshow (google slides) for your pitch. This is where you can include some of the art affiliated with your game.

Here is guide of what to include in your pitch!

  • Game Outline: Give an overview of what the game is, what it is trying to accomplish, and explain how it is going to face the challenges: Title/Genre/Premise/Gameplay/Platform
  • References / Competitors: Write about what other games are similar, what is borrowed from them, and what you are improving.
  • USP: Make a bullet list of what makes your game unique. Doesn’t have to be a long list, just around 3-4 points will suffice.
  • Core Mechanics: Explain what are the game mechanics, how they help the game achieve its goal, and how will they play out.
  • Metagame / Progression Systems: Explain why will players keep playing the game and how does this system connect with core gameplay and theme.
