"Based on the PocketGamer MasterClass 'Building A Pitch: From Concept To Document' (2021), a decade's worth of industry experience and numerous industry-level pitches for a variety of organisations including Mediatonic, Epic Games and GDC, this book will equip you with methodologies, best practices and insights around video game pitch design through a step-by-step process from initial conceptualisation and idea validation to communicating your pitches on paper clearly and effectively. In a day and age where video game development is more competitive than ever, the value and importance of "lightning in a bottle" pitches has never been higher: foundational visions capable of delivering video games that stand apart from the crowd as industry-renowned titles, generating immense critical or commercial success which (after the awe has abated) usually triggers the same internal question - "why didn't I think of that!?". This book will be of great interest to both seasoned and early-career game designers, students studying game design courses and start-up founders seeking investment"--
