Second Assignment - Presentation

ATEC 3352 SECOND ASSIGNMENT: CONCEPT DOCUMENT (a.k.a the “pitch” assignment) ***The Deliverable (D2)*** Part 1: Game Proposal: The “Elevator Pitch” one page summary of your idea (Not graded but required for concept approval – you did this already!) Part 2: Game Concept Document: The 8-10 page conceptual “Pitch Document” (80% of your D2 grade – due on March 25, and described in great detail to you already!)

REQUIRED ELEMENTS – 60% (There are 16 of them – each is worth 3.75 points. Some will be a sentence or two like “title” or “platform”, but many will require multiple paragraphs of explanation like “Story” or “Gameplay” similar to your D1. Tell me WHY each element is what it is!) MLA / APA FORMATTING – 20% (ZERO tolerance this time – do your citations properly! Each mistake is worth one point! Just 11 mistakes will drop you a letter grade! Buy that English major a pizza to edit your mistakes!)

***Presentation of the Deliverable (D2)*** The “Pitch”: The “Greenlight Meeting” presentation (Remaining 20% of your D2 grade – Presented in class on March 25 / April 1 / April 8) Presentation: An 8-10 minute conceptual “pitch” to the class. The point of the presentation is NOT to detail every aspect of your concept document or game, but to get us excited about your idea! You may not read your paper to us. You should use visual aids! PowerPoint or similar is recommended. You might think of this as a fleshed out presentation of “Part 1: Game Proposal” without going into the detail of “Part 2: Concept Document” A “Greenlight Meeting” is by definition the meeting in which it is decided to “green light” a project, (in the context of the movie, TV, and now Video Game businesses), and to formally approve production finance, thereby allowing the project to move forward from the development phase to pre-production and development. You must use this time to convince us to fund your project! PITCH PRESENTATION – 20% (Audiovisual presentation to the class on your assigned “Greenlight Meeting” presentation week) WARNING! LATE PAPERS ARE -10 POINTS! LATE PRESENTATIONS ARE ALSO -10 POINTS! A PERFECT PAPER TURNED IN LATE AND PRESENTED ON THE WRONG DAY IS AT -20 POINTS! SO… DON’T DO THAT!

NOTE: Once your brilliant idea is “green lit” you will be asked to write a formal design document to precisely detail your game’s working aspects in every way. This is what D3 is for so don’t go too overboard now or you will probably regret it!
