Today we’re going to be going to 215 to investigate what is involved in a successful game pitch. Yesterday we generated the following questions:

• Know what appropriate tone to use when speaking would be (authoritative, confident, enthusiastic)
• Know strategies for delivering an effective tone
• Know your audience (who are you selling this to? What style of games do they produce? What games have they produced in the past? How big a studio are they? How many people do they employ?)
• Know what your game is about (story? Weather? Setting? Genre? Scifi? Fantasy? FPS? Strategy? Open world? Role playing?)
• What are the steps involved in making a game?
• What are the jobs involved in making a game? (voice acting, green screen work, …..)
• Who are your characters? Powers? Back story? Relationships? Appearance?
• What game is your game like?
• What makes your game special?
• What is appropriate body language for a presentation?
• What do you actually bring with you to present?

Working in partners, you are going to conduct research to find the answers to as many of these questions as possible.

We will be organizing our research using this project canvas:

You and your partner will choose a question to research, write your name on it, move it to the “Doing” column. Once you find your answers, you will attach your answers and move the note to the Done column.

We will be wrapping up at 10:35 to assess our next steps and reflect on the process. Reflection
