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!

Bluesky needs a bit of a culture shift
I'm noticing that engagement has kindof been cratering, but favs haven't. People will fav a post but not comment or repost it, I've noticed this with others as well.
If you like something, spread it! Try commenting to bump it or repost it eh?

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script
