Pitch Deck vs GDD
- Pitch deck = Short presentation
- GDD = Description based
A vertical slice is a short demo of polished gameplay. This is good for investors
Elevator pitch – First slice of pitch -> two sentence explanation
Narrative beats – Players want an interesting story but don’t want to listen to an interesting story, they want to interact
For our task, we were given a well known game and told to make a game loop for it. Mason and I were given Snake:

The rest of the class then had to guess what game we were given and they guessed correctly. Sophie pointed out that we hadn’t stated how big the area of the game was and therefore if there is a win state, if your character fills the whole map. In the google play version of the game, if your snake fills the whole screen you get a winning sound effect
