Fantasy game pitching

[Music] hello everyone my name is Martinez bounce I'm the owner of Tamil hockey game publishing and we specialize in publishing hidden objects matched reading time management games and also doing business develops for FGL which is another mobile publisher hi everyone you might mistake me for Erica Ronon who's a narrative designer at house mark but she tragically couldn't make it so I am her evil twin sister Ivy because Avery loves narrative and ethics and I'm here because I love money [Laughter] apparently we have this one hi everyone my name is natasha Ruge and I'm CEO of snowfall we make Moomin mobile games that's pretty much what you might know me already for hi I'm Kathleen Evers I'm CEO of forevers games based in France

and doing publishing and distribution of PC titles I'm trying to entertain so I'm trying to sort of temp these people into doing something which I'm not we must agree now we are not going to hold them responsible for the words that come out of their mouth over the next 40 minutes in particular I'm going to ask them to do the impossible I'm going to try to get them to look at a screen grab and come up with a pitch randomly about what that game must be and you guys are gonna get to vote on what you think was the best explanation I will then tell you what the real game was he says hopefully the so if the slides come up I'm thinking is anyone heard of the Dragons Den or shark tank think of it like that but you're the guys with the votes there for the money I actually did think about calling it

he says waiting for the thing to work bump no nothing's working I love this I said that one ha different button no works I think I was gonna go with this but I don't think that quite worked so instead we came up with this hence the beer you guys get beer afterwards but only if you vote nicely it's not quite true but we'll believe that for now you'll get beer later anyway so without further ado here are the rules the rules are this I am gonna show a screen grab these lovely people are gonna give their own pictures of what they think the game is gonna be and then you go to vote that's easy when you vote I would like you to pay attention the following originality innovation do you think this game should be made there's a fourth one I didn't write down is it funny that helps don't be biased it's just sort of it's all in good taste all in good fun and if it isn't then we'll be taking the mickey anyway it's

not gonna be fun but beer helps it helps it's building a bit so this is our first screen grab I also volunteered to be the first one talking I'm looking at Marty because I just know I'll get to do it so this is our first game hopefully don't no one knows what it is nothing could you please give us your pitch for this game should be well obviously this is mantas murder it's about a young couple they are very much into first suiting and cosplaying and they are planning a romantic getaway however things are about to get dark because in this text-based narrative adventure game you plays the female character and what your lovely better half does not know is that you recently developed a strange obsession with cannibalism so you suggested to make costumes for preying mantises for your weekend getaway in camping and woods where your ultimate goal is obviously to eat him

and make love with him the mantis way you progress through the game by carefully choosing the right answers through dialogues and by showing love at carefully timed moments so the buttons on the rights they can indicate how your partner's feeling at that moment be too obvious and your boyfriend calls the police and game over reach the ends and you'll be rewarded but your boyfriend's permadeath and a full belly we may know to give us your pitch I like to walk around ladies gentlemen people who don't believe in binary gender structures I give you the game of the future love buck you know that what's been really selling these days is romance simulators dating simulators this can be bigger than Fifty Shades of

Grey but we know that you know a lot of people out there are perverts they will make a love to anything aliens dream daddies anything pigeons [ __ ] go to Japan anyway we have found an untapped market insects our marketing team who are all professionals and use hard science have figured out the boys like insects and girls like romance we cannot lose with this game you date insects you get to make your own insect you get to date the same species different species you have shy bucks you have brave bucks you have seedy bugs you have bedbugs everything is in this game and you have this wonderful state-of-the-art chatbot technology that allows them to answer you're flirting lines intelligently for a buck at least we're sure to pass the Turing test anytime soon anyway but what this is this is not just a game but it's the future of a platform because not

only will we sell all that customization new locations new bugs and whatever bugs are inherent feature in this game by the way we will also make it a platform for the dirtiest fanfic that this world has ever seen we will allow people to write their own scenarios will allow them to publish them and vote on them and we will expand not just on bugs but to everything you can be part of this future join love bug Wow no pressure Natasha do you want to go no [Laughter] and plus I'm still under impressions of those two because mine is completely different I don't know should I also smell waltz around maybe might be zero because oh my god yeah after two days of meetings alright so ladies and gentlemen what we have here in France is a completely new

survival game and this variable game is called stay strong and the stay strong is all about the issues of anxiety and existential crisis in the form of grasshopper and how the grasshoppers are dealing with their emotional and all other possible anxieties so in this game you're actually this can be considered for the educational game as well or even serious games with the therapy elements because actually through this game you are going to experience not just the how it feels to have whatever mental issues regarding the grasshoppers life because this is what it is surviving mentally the life of a grasshopper I wasn't sure what this meant is a grasshopper but yes so in this game you go through the all possible challenges of grasshoppers life

and try to maintain as in any other survival game genre to keep them well not get eaten or well and their own life thank you [Applause] okay I think I will do the same thing walking around is actually easier for me and yes this is actually a game called happy ever after I mean yeah don't they look so cutie I mean look at them it's all about love and all about how am I going to seduce my next boyfriend or how I'm going to survive with him because as you can see you have to reply to him he says okay it looks like a quiet place but it doesn't seem that it would be such a no nice and quiet journey actually the goal of the game is to have as much as love as you can so whenever

your your goal is reached you're going to move forward to the next levels going from the little first meeting date to the next level the engagement then perhaps why not a wedding and why not like a happy ever after game so yeah I mean you will be going into this very addictive love game because I mean pre mantises are so so inspiring for the love life of everybody else I mean this game will be a free-to-play obviously I mean actually they are so into each other that they just can't live one without another and so you have to go to the eventual marriage of the game where do you go to the separation or divorce that's up to you to decide so welcome to the happy ever after thank you very much so I'll try to summarize that I'm not trying to make it we have basically a

ton of cannibalistic kind of cannibalistic cosplay insect cosplay party we've got the love bug where we get to play we romance with Darius insect varieties but it's deliberately insect because guys like insects and girls like romance apparently give me summery give me serene it's all about survival survival it's all about survival you heard it here and then of course you've got the happy ever after part from the divorce let's have a vote who thinks it should be the the cosplaying cannibalism and that's quite as a strong start Love Bug who thinks they should be loved ugh oh not quite but close it should be the survival thing see no one wants happy we

have our first score tamati and what it was is a game called don't make love basically it's you're assuming the role of a praying mantis in a relationship and essentially it's a balancing dilemma between basically getting closer to the mate and not quite having sex because if you have sex game over so this is a real game it's on Steam there's a URL bottom there if you want to go play that game real game is this like a frustrated mantises game basically for mantises and you were gonna say there yeah I didn't know that's a real game sbrega these are all real games so now I'm I'm not even gonna try and describe that should stay with the same order Martin would you care to give me your summary obviously o/l stance is dead select a new trend

now I'm gonna stand over here cuz I'd like a disk welcome to the world as a hamster you see in this game you basically have a view like a hamster which is without without depth and without color and your eyesight is is often deceiving like are those actually fish floating above the desk is that a t-rex in the other room is the floor staring at me I mean look at that look behind the fish things that totally looks like eyes to me so try to make your way through this world without falling being eaten or being you know killed in other various interesting ways basically the life of a hamster in any sort of standard household this dungeon crawler offers about two hours of gameplay but since most people get sick after like five or ten minutes or something it offers a very good retention mechanism because you need at

least 30 days to make your way 30 days through vomiting through it the game is monetized by offering colorful 3d videos which will be implemented as a reward this video kind of as an eyesight relief so you know brilliance of just like I'm looking for a million dollars funding that's all thank you we all know what's the biggest game out there fortnight battle royale but my crack marketing team has figured out what's missing from all the battle royale games out there and it's dinosaurs welcome to Jurassic battlegrounds an asymmetric Balor Oriel team-based shooter where humans are agile can able to use tools and weapons and then there's dinosaurs that ran things with the teeth and claws and it's going to be awesome you're all stuck on this island and only the last person slash dinosaur surviving can claim the title of the king of

Jurassic battlegrounds and we're going to monetize this the way that we monetize everything which is like throw [ __ ] at the players that for them to customize by social status buy new classes buy everything we're going to go wait for all the bots words we're gonna go for eSports we're gonna go stream in flight and really we're gonna put Dino filters on Instagram and we're already contacting Spielberg to do something with the next Jurassic Park movie and of course we will put a billion modes in this game there's gonna be team solo deathmatch there's going to be capture the egg there's gonna be wrecks mania king of the jungle everything this game is the next [ __ ] also the art director recently saw Sin City that's that's what the art style is all about that's actually and

that says a lot that comes from me all right our next game to present here is a point-and-click adventure where you are playing as a colorblind protagonist and then as you're going through the game you are actually getting more and more color in your life or at least you think it is because it might be that you're losing your mind and you are starting to see all sorts of things because look at that and so yeah as a model it's premium at PC because god forbid someone else sees that this is your own time at home to play with and yeah share the love with your friends and share the point-and-click adventure psychedelic experience with your friends thank you thank you [Applause] okay guys I'd like to introduce you to the new dlc of overcooked it's

overlooked so so the guys were actually very very busy in prepping overcooked to since a success obviously of overcooked one so now they left the DLC jobs a bit to the new guys and they came up with this so yeah I mean dangerous newbies give them some time it'll be okay but yeah for this DLC it will be only 399 and that's okay so we have the life of a hamster as a drug dungeon crawler we have Jurassic battle royale eSports extravaganza we have a pointing click adventure for colorblind players or are you losing your mind and we have the new DLC for overcooked called overlooked so votes for life of the hamster hands up nice

oh not secure this time votes for Jurassic pepperonis sports all bit better but and do not know Segoe point-and-click adventure for colorblind players or are you going mad oh it's a strong contender currently in the lead or is it the new TLC overcooked overlooked I'm gonna have to do a revote so between pointing adventure for color line players pull you out of nappies and overlook it's so tight I'm gonna give it to why do you think adventure it's tight but I think just just right so now let's work out what that really was because obviously you know it's no way that it could be a basically surreal boxing quest with a duck that's a well it's a human with a duck head apparently literally this is this is the fight

scene that you've literally the most of surreal thing I've ever seen you are fighting your way through an evil corporations list of retribution I honestly I have no idea however you can get it on ps4 PS Vita it's on switch and it's on Steam so up with this really yeah I would seriously I know words so next up I'm Monty Oh beans all right all right next next up so III I actually have very violent themes I just realized because this is deathmatch insanity cell it's the main character like the guy who just walked through the red door over there you know you you basically have to try to survive as long as possible in this environment without going completely mad you know things like why

are the windows so [ __ ] high why is there an endless loop pianoman right there why is the food so high that you never can reach it why does the host guy looks like he's totally spaced out and what is he hosting and why are there floating beers or you talking about the game or me actually you know me but actually the biggest question in this game is is it still a bonsai tree if it's twice your own size and oh no I forgot the ultimate question how did the piano get in that room so how long will you last in this puzzle-platformer room escape game before going completely mad

so yeah it's it's a premium game and yeah because you know because because right exactly [Applause] my crack marketing team has figured out another untapped market and this is a completely new business model I have not seen use anywhere else so welcome to the world of fever pitch a humorous puzzle point-and-click adventure meant for game developers in this game you are playing Devon Mac dev a new indie developer who has a brilliant idea for game pitch but unfortunately on the day of the conference he has become very very sick and he's now stuck in a fever version of that conference and he must escape it to be able to deliver his pitch but that is just fluff or we're really interested

how are we gonna sell this to developers well we're gonna give it them for free and we're gonna get the money by selling sponsorships to all the people who always advertise in these [ __ ] conferences it will be done by none other than the gaming zone Banksy who we don't know but they will be able to put everything that they know about games game industry people and all that juicy gossip in the game so you want to play to see what they're saying about you and then sponsors and of course sponsors the better they pay the more closely interacting you have to interact with their products or items or booth in the game and as we can see in this already beautiful screenshot this is Pocket Gamer our connects clearly there's oscar clark with his hat there i don't want to spoil you this beautiful puzzle but intervals red and blue booth candy an uncooked piece of bacon and drunk are a Vulcan and trying to figure out a way to

outlive his Angry Birds Fame I will leave that to you figure out how and basically we will risk in this game for every conference there is out there and you will want to play whether you're at that conference or not and the sponsorship money will just keep rolling in this is fever pitch thank you [Applause] Natacha okay so this time we are having a narrative driven game in which our main protagonists this lovely fella with the fancy hat not actually got very very bad luck in business in the big city and then he suddenly got information that some of the far-far relatives who passed away left him horrible hotel in the Wild West or whatever it is some sort of Motel hotel thing establishment that he

actually inherited now and since he has nothing better to do and he's he thinks he is very good in business he is supposed to go and make a big success out of that Hotel in the Wild West so here in this game you are actually think about the soccer management meets hotel business in which you're first of all have to fix your whole establishment get rid of some bums that are still around but or employ them again it's up to you this is your you're the boss and also get more and more visitors to your hotel and keep the level up now with your previously good skills how you're gonna manage well that's all up to you premium PC slash console thank you so this time

we can welcome you into Oscars diner so Oscar here is obviously the manager of this lovely restaurant and he is taking care of all the empty bottles there's just one left Oscar can I share it with you please thank you so you are Oscar managing Oscars diner and whenever the clients come in you have to sit them down you have to make sure that they are going to give little how'd you call it a little coin to the guy I was playing on a Pai so that he can has his lunch he has to do some puzzling in order to get his spaghetti board into his on to his table because as you can see as you can see the little guy is not tall enough to get his spaghetti so yes it is some work and Oscar is not willing to help him not at all because he's not a great guy he's just sitting there a lousy manager of his own diners so this is actually a PC

a tablet game premium like $2.99 and obviously the studio is looking for funding and yeah so don't hesitate if there is like really really nice investors around because we do need the money and Oscar - thank you very much thank you we have deathmatch insanity cell we have fever pitch where you play in diamond dev that sponsored by insert company we have the horrible hotel manager and we have Oscars diner - so vote for deathmatch in Southie so it's a fewer it's good votes for fever pitch oh yes horrible hotel manager okay and Oscar's diner - do you know what I think the

winner is Jeff match insanity so now what was that that was Reginald does his Fang buy epic banana games it's a platformer where Reggie gather the scattered pages for his grandfather's final recipe I have no idea what that means except apparently involves cannibalism a creepin kuru and on oil curries I don't know what kuru is but again it's available on Steam please feel free to go look at it I'm sure it's amazing now this might be the penultimate one won't be the last I'm joining on because we're running out time so what we have our masterpiece here so Marty all right this one I promise you has nothing to do with death this time this is actually a kids game it's this bathroom tile sticker decoration Christian who doesn't have fond memories of like long bath

sessions as kids and with that I kept rubber duckie you know like a mountain of foam and of course the bathroom stickers you know like relive your youth through this relaxing decoration game earn more and and different kinds of sticker people as you play it longer and this game contains a little bit of a guilty pleasure too I mean we all know how bubbles in the bath bar create it uh-huh you see the farts timer over there use your fart bonus to unlock special stickers happy bath time all right as you know me I'm not afraid to jump on

a bandwagon when I see one and this time is no different either welcome to the next battle royale sensation taking place on dot IO Bart night it will take the world by a stinky storm in this we have spy party meets battle royale as several people disguise as an ordinary stickman until they fart try to fart on their opponents as much as possible gathering the biggest score that they can so you only become visible in your beautiful customized skin when you fart so you try to act normal until you have to let one rip and try to make it deadly so the only way that you get eliminated is that you get caught by the fart police so be careful when they move around and if you do get eliminated you joined the fart police and fart police gather they

push the players into a smaller and smaller room and then the last one breathing wins so you get to customize your outfit through paying you get to customize the sound of your fart through paying and of course we will do outreach program through the biggest influences and get Jake Paul get PewDiePie to do their own fart sounds and sell them for a limited time in our own store everything is a store asrama smile says this is fart night all right in this game we are having combo of retro platformer and endless runner as in the back story here we have our nerd protagonists who well in the city where he lives there is a increased crime and of course is every nerd he has his superhero figures to look upon and he

believes that he is the one who needs to fix all of that but now actually with this very very challenging outfit everyone thinks that he is the one who needs to be beaten down instead of the crime so therefore you have to actually beat double battles inside as the platform we are going for the mobile free to play with lots and lots of evil monetization and customization for your main character thank you [Applause] okay so as you all know a Nintendo switch nice content so welcome to 40 time party game actually with coop coop party game so called 40 time and the goal of the game is actually to far away the cops so you have to form with your team a really good alliance in order to
