Reflection
Overall, I am pleased with the feedback we got for our pitch from both Matt and Stephen Hey. If we were to take the game to market it gives us a lot of hope that we would be able to get our vision across to a board of industry professionals or publishers. I am happy with the feedback for the trailer, despite being made at the last second in 3 and a half hours.
Taking the feedback on board from Stephen Hey has prompted me to at least try and program in switch controls, the big issue here is that college PC’s don’t have access to Bluetooth and may not install drivers if we were to buy a 3rd party Bluetooth dongle. Owen does own a Bluetooth dongle so we are willing to try that but nevertheless, the controls for Joy-Cons will be added in to the game. In addition, really pleased with how he thinks our game looks at this stage in time, excellent from someone who’s been in industry for a number of years.
The pitch we made for Stephen Hey has given me a firmer understanding of marketing strategy when it comes to pitching, the way we adapted the pitch to be similar to a matchday programme and the way that Owen introduced the team as an announcer at a football match really set the tone for the pitch and from the moment the pitch was on screen with the fun font and vibrant colours, you just had a good feeling about it.
