Pitch Deck vs GDD \u2014 Lecture Notes\uff1a<\/p>

Pitch Deck
Purpose
* To entice collaborators
* To acquire funding from publishers, investors, or executives
* To communicate the game\u2019s overall vibe
* To explain what it will take to make the game<\/p>

GDD
A GDD is a detailed design document that explains exactly how the game works.
Purpose
* To provide a detailed description of the game
* To help developers understand:
* What tasks they need to complete
* How long implementation may take
* To ensure everyone shares the same mental image of the game<\/p>

Key Difference
Pitch Deck sells the idea.\u2028GDD builds the game.<\/p>

GDD \u2014 Key Elements
Overview
* Elevator pitch
* Core concept<\/p>

Breakdown
* Gameplay
* Visual
* Level Design
* Narrative
* Audio
* Project Management<\/p>

Scope & Planning
* What can you scope down?
* What is the vertical slice \/ MVP?<\/p>

Overview Structure
1. Elevator Pitch
* One sentence describing what the game is<\/p>

2. Two-Sentence Explanation
* Sentence 1: What is the goal?
* Sentence 2: How does the player achieve it?<\/p>

3. Elaboration
* Characters
* Setting
* Levels
* Gameplay<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In Thursday’s class, I showed my GDD and gained some new suggestions and modifications:<\/p>\n

1. ” What is AURA? Why does it exist? Why don’t you just use words to narrate?”<\/p>\n

The following is my supplementary explanation of “AURA”:<\/p>\n

AURA is not a storyteller, but an emotional echo left by time. Its existence makes the world like a ‘perceptual space’, Because in the worldview of the world in loops:<\/p>\n

The time experiment failed and time no longer moved forward, but AURA is retaining the incomplete memory of the world: it remembers, but it is incomplete. It can perceive change, but it cannot really act. This is why it can only “dialogue, remind, resonate” and cannot repair the world for Steve.<\/p>\n

And from the perspective of player experience: AURA is “the world is talking to you”<\/p>\n

So I want players to feel that when AURA speaks, it is not “NPC talking to me” but that the city is responding to me in a low voice through the afterglow of time.<\/p>\n

2. Each round of Loop mood changes, but “Will the structure become too similar?”<\/p>\n

Therefore, I plan to clarify the stage changes of the Loop type in GDD, such as:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In this way, people can make it clear:<\/p>

Why don\u2019t you get tired for 3\u20135 hours?<\/p>

Every 20 minutes of Loop in \u201dWhat\u2018s different to expect\u201c<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
