Game Development Reference
In-Depth Information
Approach this task from a conceptual point of view. You don't need to put actual
graphics into this screenshot if you cannot afford an artist. Loot the Internet and use
image editing tools to assemble something that resembles and conveys the idea of
the look you want for your game.
On the other hand, the nicer the graphics of your designs and screenshots, the more
appealing your pitch document will be for your readers. If you are pitching for a po-
tential investor, find the best artist you can afford. Having a document with profes-
sional layout and top quality graphics says a lot about your team's abilities. Remem-
ber, there is no second chance to make a first impression!
Team/Designer resume
At the end of the document it is a nice touch to attach the resume of the team or the
designer who made the document.
Especially, if your team has shipped or otherwise released other products, it is the
best proof that the team is professional and reliable.
Otherwise, it is still a good way for the readers to get an idea of who the person be-
hind the game idea and the pitch document is.
We are done with this discussion on the pitch document and can now begin working
with the design of Lilypads!
