In Part 6 of the 2nd Train2Game Webinar the panel discuss if there is a definite, lucrative market for small non-AAA indie titles and if having no formal qualification will affect your employment prospects after finishing a Train2Game course?
Key quotes include:
Tony Bickley on the importance of good English when pitching your ideas – “If a pitch or a presentation comes in with text speak, it’s not going to get very much air time, if they can’t speak they can’t communicate.”
Pete Hickman on the importance of good communication when pitching your ideas – “I think if the standard of written English isn’t very good in the presentation, quite often presentations go to an acquisition or an A&R person and he, or she, will to demonstrate those to the board or the senior management of the company and they won’t take them seriously. It’s a terrible thing to say, you might be the most creative person in the world but unless you can communicate your ideas effectively and clearly, it’s very difficult to break into a company.”
