Standing out: How to pitch your game

on YouTube ↗59m

" summary

Covers concrete pitching requirements: include a budget breakdown and timeline, state the exact funding ask, and show a vertical slice playable (or secure prototype grants) because investors judge risk. Present a memorable comp—think beyond games—and apply the t-shirt test (could this IP be distilled to a simple visual?). Provide a leave‑behind deck with team credentials and prior credits, avoid over‑tailoring the project to please one publisher, expect rejections, and ask for actionable feedback rather than NDAs, which publishers usually decline.
