Pitch Deck 101 for Indies

on YouTube ↗01h 00m

" summary

Explains how to turn a game into a sellable pitch: one clear one‑line description, a demo or trailer, and a concrete ask and budget (with a suggested 20–30% contingency), plus milestoneed payment schedule and risk mitigations. Lists publisher deliverables—funding, marketing, distribution, QA, localization, project management—and when to outsource. Uses the three-minute rule for initial contact, shows competitor benchmarking and spreadsheet budgeting tools, and treats pitching as repeatable outreach (send many decks, expect ~30% replies).
