A pitch document is something that\u2019s typically created when a game is in the early planning stages.\u00a0 The goal is to communicate the most important information about the game, what it is, the key features, how it plays, etc. in one page.\u00a0 It\u2019s used to \u201cpitch\u201d the game to others.\u00a0 Your boss, other team members, potential publishers, etc.\u00a0 I\u2019ve made a lot of pitch documents in the past, but I never made one for Aurora\u2019s Nightmare.\u00a0 The main reason being that I never had a need for it.\u00a0 Since this is a personal project, I never had to pitch it to anyone and I\u2019m pretty good at keeping things organized in my head, so I jumped right to some of the more detailed documentation.\u00a0 Anyway, I recently did make an AN pitch document as part of a writing assignment so I figured I\u2019d share it here.\u00a0 As a note, the number of decision points and endings used in the pitch document are estimates.\u00a0 I won\u2019t have an exact count until the script is finished.<\/p>\n
