I’ve finally found a minute to write a quick something.

The idea was to combine a load of technology and make a game that could benefit from being played anywhere and that anywhere may benefit from it.

I am going to write more about my game development experiences than the technology involved, you can find out about the tech later.

So, back in December I received an email. Something along the lines of pitch an idea and get ten grand. So, as an animator with a few techie skills, I thought YES PLEASE.

So, I replied almost immediately.

There was a presentation telling us that out of the people in the room five would receive the money, I looked around did a quick head count and fancied the odds. Then I spoke to a couple of folks,

“Hiya, 25 years game development”,
“Hello, combined 40 years game development”,
“Hi, 10 titles”,
“What do they expect us to do for £10,000”.

Ok, so I was out of my depth, but I was there and I was positive so I thought I’d like to do these workshops if nothing else.

Another email arrives register for the workshops.

I thought I’d better do that right away, that way I may just have a chance of getting in.

Clicked on the link and I started filling in the form. Part of the way down it asked for an elevator pitch .

WHAT!!!!!

I wasn’t really thinking of a particular game idea, so I had to use something from my past, something I’d played with but never really explored seriously. At the same time I was thinking where is this going my precious idea that I’ve held close for years and years and never done anything with, but then the form was finished so I sent it anyway.

Wow, I thought about it a lot the opportunity to learn something about games with real games people.

I thought about a few ways to progress my idea and then the email came saying your in so be here on this date at this time.

No way, it’s actually going to happen
