Steel Media, the epic team behind Pocket Gamer, is bringing it’s BIG INDIE PITCH to Dundee on November 30.
The event offers developers the opportunity to pitch their game ideas to a panel of experts (and what experts – see below…)
A speed dating format, gives each developer four minutes with each panel, giving every entrant real feedback from the event. The winner will also get editorial coverage in Pocket Gamer, AppSpy and beyond, making this a great chance to get you, your studio and your game played by the world – alongside potentially winning a share of a Steel Media marketing package worth a massive $5,500.
Approximately twenty teams will run the gauntlet, giving their all in quickfire four-minute pitches to demonstrate that their title is worth of the Big Indie Pitch crown, and coverage in the mobile games media.
