Thank you @gdocexpo.com organizers for allowing me to share a bit of my knowledge. It's always a pleasure to be part of the event <3

A pitch deck is NOT the game design document.

More visual elements, less text. Senior Producer, Biz Dev, and scout Ed Lago @edlago.dev shares insights and lessons learned after reviewing more than 200 game pitches. #GDoCExpo

Just imagine it.
It’s exactly the same tone of the west wing but everyone had to deal with Trump. All day.

Doug North Cook @dnorco.bsky.social · Aug 14

A day in the life drama set in the Trump White House - it’s called The Worst Wing.

I’ve been playing this at @antonhand.bsky.social ‘s suggestion. Very nice.
