"...a single gameplay video or playable demo will do most of the talking for you. If you don't have one of those, consider waiting to pitch until you do."

How It Works
Submit Your Idea: Share your concept, comic or sketches and your vision for a companion video game. While direct collaboration with the artist who conceived the game idea is preferred, it is not mandatory.
Review Process: We evaluate submissions based on creativity, gameplay potential, and positive message.
Collaborate: If selected, we work closely with you to develop a playable prototype that stays true to your vision.
Promote Together: Once the prototype is complete, we help showcase your game to a wider audience.

What type of demo would you like?
Prototype Demo: focus on testing and refining gameplay mechanics. While they may lack final graphics or sound, these demos are vital for early-stage development, allowing developers to experiment with ideas and gather feedback on gameplay.
Vertical Slice Demo: fully polished segment of the game, showcasing core mechanics, graphics, and gameplay elements. Often used to attract investors and publishers by providing a clear vision of the final product.
Beta Demo: released to a select group of players for testing purposes. These demos are closer to the final version of the game and serve to identify bugs, balance gameplay, and make necessary adjustments based on user feedback. They play a critical role in building a community around the game and generating early interest.
