How to make a good games pitch
summary
Hundreds of pitches arrive each year so decks must hook within 30 seconds, be PDF, and stay compact (aim ~15 slides). Include an elevator pitch, clear basic info, core mechanics, market fit, and a production overview showing phases, team ramp (example 5/10/15/8), timeline and costs. Example numbers that convince: €1.5M budget and a 27‑month schedule with a 29.99 target price yielding a ~72k unit break‑even — show the math, visual references, and end with exactly what you want.
