Game Presentations for Friday – Alphabetical Order –

On Friday morning each Game will make a short presentation about their game. Google Slides might be the easiest way for you to organize yourselves. However if you want to make a website, google site, wix site, PDF, video,….. you decide.

Your presentation will include:

Name of your Game
Description & Overview of the Game
The core game mechanic
The inspiration for your game
Challenges you faced when creating your game (try to explain)
Feedback you received during playtesting
What you are happy about or what you learned/improved on
What’s next (If you continued to develop your game, what would you do) to bring it to market

You are encouraged to use screenshots, code examples, pics.
Pro Tip: Less words makes for better presentations!

It’s casual – just share what you learned!
