Week 2, Back-Blog
During Week 2, I proposed my pitch for BIFF IT, a game about hurting skate boarders.
I thought it would be a good game, because it uses comedy as the enjoyment experience, and utilizes a challenging skillset to accomplish the feat. I also love the open-environment of skateparks and so forth, makes it very sandbox-like. Almost like sim city where you're just trying to destroy the city. (makes me think of fire-starter from flcl)
Got the laughs and smiles from the audience.
Don't remember if it was this week or the one after, we voted on the games, and I didn't make it. Some feedback from a few students revealed that they didn't think it had replay value. Should have put more work into what the skillset is and how it grows further into the game you get. Still convinced it is a good idea, I just didn't pitch it properly. I think I ended with 30 seconds on the clock, I should have given more. So at least I learned a lot about pitching.
(this was a problem that cato corgi would go on to have with their pitch to industry professionals)
