On reflection…
Get in the Game gave us a unique opportunity to step away from contract work for a while and focus on our game proposal. Over the months we have really defined the project from a design and production point of view. We used the time to go away and concept an area of our game and produce artwork for this segment. After our final production meeting it was suggested we focus our efforts on our pitch and the accompanying PowerPoint for the final weeks of ‘pre-production’ and we were keen to act on this advice. We got some great one to one quality time with Matt Southern to help us sort the PowerPoint. 100s of slides and two ripomatics later we were ready to go.
Stepping in at the 11th hour, as I rested in my sick bed, Steve – Citrus Suite’s own Super Mario (a bit inappropriate considering the pitch was to Sony) – did the presentation and as the icing on the cake we showed a simple demo illustrating gameplay on the target hardware. Seeing that Sony are still talking to us I guess Steve stuck to the script!
It’s been great to be part of this process and I’m sure Get in the Game will go from strength to strength. Thanks for inviting us along.
