We just posted a video that we made in Jan 2022 (edited by @nickverge.bsky.social) to pitch our studio+game to partners.
We found it to be a very useful thing to have!
A lot changed, but the gist stayed the same. We're sharing it in case it's useful for other devs to see!

We made this short video a few years ago that was SUPER useful for all sorts of pitching, and I'm excited to share it now.
As someone who sees hundred of pitches from the other side of this in my publisher life, I would love it if every dev made something like this.
Hope it's helpful to see!

Brandon does a lot for both videogames and his community, which - if you can afford it, reader - are pretty excellent reasons to support something, regardless of your interest in the thing itself. (Though I for one am very excited to play Demonschool!)
This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.
Demonschool: Is OUT. It's out. Finally it is out. We hope you enjoy it.
