Me and Jess were given Tic Tac Toe<\/strong> and tasked to pitch its game loop to the class<\/strong> to see if we could explain it well enough that the class would be able to guess it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thankfully the class was able to guess that it was Tic Tac Toe\/Noughts and Crosses<\/strong>, but we made one big mistake in that we said ‘9×9’ grid instead of ‘3×3’, a silly mistake as we were thinking of a grid containing ‘9 sections’, but Sophie made a good example of how important it is to be accurate and very thorough at explaining things<\/strong>, especially if you’re pitching to your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, below is an example that Sophie made of how someone who didn’t already know Tic Tac Toe might interpret our game loop as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n She drew (what is meant to be) a 9×9 grid<\/strong>, which me and Jess already knew we got wrong, but also made a point that both her and the other player could both choose ‘O’ or both choose ‘X’<\/strong>, and that they could place shapes on the same section on the grid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was an incredibly valuable workshop in which I learnt how important it is to be very clear about your idea and intentions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary of Workshop:<\/span><\/strong> When pitching, start with elevator pitch, then gameplay loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summarising our Game Ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Using Miro<\/em>, the class made notes and mood boards of our core game loops<\/strong>, themes<\/strong>, elevator pitches<\/strong>, design pillars<\/strong>, tones<\/strong>, styles<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/lhlb1n25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2026\/10\/image-3-1024x514.png\")
