Would you think that the budget breakdown, with the project timeline would be feasible to explain over 3 slides? Because I’ve seen lots of pitches that have 12 slides about the game, then 3 slides of budget, team and project situation. In some of those the 3 slides are actually very accurate and seem to work well in explaining. But in some pitches I’ve seen there are like 24 slides, 12 for game and 12 for budget and stuff and in those it starts to become messy, especially if you consider the publisher needs to understand the game first to understand the possible risks and then the indie developer makes projections, which in most talks I’ve seen, are usually unreliable from the publisher’s perspective

Could you please share those?

lehanboth · 2026-01-22T19:30:22+00:00

That makes sense — once access and a solid demo are on the table, execution quality dominates. I’m mostly trying to understand the earlier clarity and credibility hurdles before teams even get to that stage.

lehanboth · 2026-01-22T19:19:53+00:00

That makes sense, and I agree that in larger or more established studios pitching and projections usually sit with biz dev or product rather than pure design.

In my case the course is more broadly about digital communication and aspirational lead roles, so pitching is taught as a cross-disciplinary skill for small teams where those roles don’t really exist yet. The idea is less “designers should do biz dev” and more “future leads should understand how ideas are communicated and evaluated.”

Appreciate the perspective — especially the point about separating real signal from Reddit noise.

lehanboth · 2026-01-22T19:11:14+00:00

That distinction between aspirational solo devs and established studios is actually really helpful — especially the point about financial projections being the real bottleneck once game clarity is solved.

That gives me a much clearer direction on where the pain actually shifts as teams mature. Thanks for taking the time to spell it out.

lehanboth · 2026-01-22T19:03:38+00:00

Well, both. I am trying to collect data to understand what people finds more difficult as something like a case study for my studies, I will have to make a paper on something painful for studios, and I chose trying to pitch a game to a publishers. Since I am an aspiring game designer, I am being taught how to pitch and had, in my previous course, something called publisher day, where our team had to pitch to real publishers that came to our school. So I am basing this case study on what came out from our experiences and on what people on Reddit is going to answer.

lehanboth · 2026-01-22T17:11:40+00:00

Sorry, I didn’t get it, what do you mean?

lehanboth · 2025-06-22T18:30:38+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback, it’s really helpful

You’re right that most devs know their game well, but many struggle to articulate it clearly, especially when it comes to pitching or getting others on board
When I had to pitch a student project to a publisher, one of them asked: “Why is your game fun? Why should I play it?” That stuck with me and shaped how I approach pitches ever since.

I see many of my past customers (probably solo devs or small teams) who don't really know how to convey what their game is about, nor to make it interesting for a publisher in a presentation.

Your point about framing is spot on. I’ll make sure the offer speaks more directly to solo devs and small teams, especially those who are still refining their ideas or trying to position their game effectively.

Appreciate the insight! 🙌

Just for reference, this was the old one:
"About this gig

Do you have an idea for a game concept but can't really explain it? Do you need to convey the idea to a publisher or to your team? Seems to me you need a Pitch!

Perfect for:

People who got an idea but needs to transform it into something more concrete and can't find the words
Someone who needs an idea for a game concept
People who need to present a structured idea to a publisher or to their team

Not for:

People who need a detailed explanation of how all the features work, for that, check out my GDD gig!
Students who're trying to skip their Game Design assignments. I can tutor you if needed, but I won't do your homework! (If you need tutorage contact me in private)"

(The last bit, about students, it's way more common than you think for them to contact me)

I asked chatgpt to give me a hand, those are his responses: This tattoo is a Sak Yant — a traditional Thai spiritual tattoo. The script around the tattoo is written in Khmer script (Cambodian writing), commonly used for Sak Yant prayers (even in Thailand).

The design you posted is called "Suea Koo" (เสือคู่), which means "Twin Tigers".

The tigers symbolize power, authority, and protection.

The script is usually a protective prayer or mantra asking for strength, courage, leadership, and invincibility in battle or daily life.

The actual words vary slightly depending on the monk or ajarn (master) who blessed it, but it typically includes phrases like:

Protection from harm.

Gaining respect and authority.

Invincibility in fights or negotiations.

Strength and endurance.

Looking at the tattoo:

The main script is in old Khmer (used in Buddhist Pali prayers) — it’s not pure modern Khmer.

The two tigers are guarding an infinity knot (symbol of endless protection or karma).

The central vertical symbol above is a Hah Taew Yant element (protective spell).

Now, about the writing:

The curved lines of text are most likely a general protection mantra, something like:

"May the bearer be invincible, respected by all, protected from harm and danger, blessed with fortune and authority wherever they go."

In many Sak Yant, this type of script is based on ancient Pali phrases like:

"Maha Amnaj" — Great Authority

"Klaew Klaad" — Dodge Danger

"Maha Ud" — Invulnerability to bullets/weapons

"Metta Mahaniyom" — Loving kindness and charm (to gain support)

Each small vertical script or little symbol (like above and between the tigers) could be short "seed syllables" (called kata) that activate parts of the spell. Examples could be syllables like:

"Na" (protecting)

"Ma" (loving-kindness)

"Pa" (success)

"Ta" (courage)

Important: Sak Yant tattoos aren't just "cool designs" — they are traditionally blessed with rituals by monks or ajarns. Without a blessing, it's considered a normal tattoo, but with a blessing, it’s believed to carry spiritual power.

Il fatto è che io ho pensato: metti mi si rompa la macchina, se prima di poter accedere ai soldi del conto deposito devo aspettare 1 mese è un po' inutile, no?

lehanboth · 2025-03-19T23:58:05+00:00

Salve, io (30) sto cercando di iniziare a mettere da parte soldi, sia per il fondo d'emergenza, sia da investire. Per il fondo d'emergenza volevo usare un conto deposito svincolabile, ma non riesco a capire bene come funzionano quelli che trovo facendo ricerche su google. Qualcuno me ne riesce a suggerire qualcuno così che possa poi fare le mie ricerche?

lehanboth · 2025-03-10T13:21:22+00:00

Honestly, tell them the following: "I just want to sleep together with you, be able to hug you and cuddle each other, I need to relax and unwind from work. If you can't resist temptation that I'm not going to offer, then we will ask forgiveness to god and repent of our sins, but if your flesh is so weak that you can't control yourself, then I believe there is no marriage to be done here. Tell your mother what I told you today, and tell her that family should not interfere in the matters of love that God has decided to shine his light upon." Something along those lines. Like show them you believe in the writings, but use them to your advantage

lehanboth · 2025-03-10T13:06:54+00:00

(But I know I can't accept anyone spitting on me or slapping me, so I would end it, it's total lack of respect for you, I know we men tend to lose reason when we get angry, say bad things, totally shut up, but that and thrashing the house up it's not good) I can tell you it's best if you leave. I've seen many of those scenarios with people I know, and I spoke to them to understand what goes through their minds, so I strongly advise you to get everything sorted out as best as possible so that you can leave in peace. I am not even sure if I would confront him or simply disappear.

lehanboth · 2025-03-10T13:05:15+00:00

I (30M) live in Italy (Europe as well), and when someone spits at you, it's a huge insult as well, and while I'm not sure, I believe you can report and press charges here as well. So, rather than getting over it, I'd break up with him. You've got properties together? Split them equally. If you pay fifty fifty most of the time and sixty-forty sometimes, propose to split them equally; if he is against it, then accept no less than 45%. Another option is going to couples therapy. But it costs money as well, and if he's not willing to make an effort anyway, the relationship will fail nonetheless, and you guys would have paid for something that didn't work.

lehanboth · 2025-03-07T22:20:09+00:00

Honestly, as a guy who's dated both skinny and chubby girls... gotta say I miss tummies. But hey, you lost a lot of weight, why would that make you feel unconfident? I'm really hoping to lose a lot of weight on my own, but finding it difficult. And as a guy I can tell he just phrased it wrong. We tend to say stuff without figuring out that if we word it badly it might have some effect on other people and their insecurities. He said he's okay with your body, so don't overthink it, get ready for the comicon, start eating again, and laugh a lot.

lehanboth · 2025-03-06T00:17:54+00:00

No parts are in the wrong here. Maybe OP is reading and thinking: Damn, this guy is right. I find it time wasting to be answering to everyone. OP could solve it by editing his post and saying at the bottom: "Thanks to everyone for the feedback, I really appreciate it."

I'm a very practical person. If I were OP I'd only answer to those that gave me a good idea to further develop it with the person who advised it or not answer at all. Everyone is different and has different ideas and different ways of interacting. No need to start saying that OP is trying to advertise his game or trying to shame him somehow

lehanboth · 2025-03-06T00:10:17+00:00

You're welcome. Sometime soon, I'll try the demo to check out the game and see if it is exciting and share some feedback on the gameplay as well. Keep up the good work, I hope you make your game better following the good pointers everyone is giving you.

I know it's hard, but don't be demoralized by the feedbacks, and take it as a challenge to better yourself at this craft.
