Train2Game students who want to know more about how to pitch a game idea may be interested in attending an event at BAFTA this week which is about just that.

Dare to be Digital: Pitching a Prototype will see this year’s Dare to be Digital finalists pitch their game ideas and receive feedback from a panel of industry experts including:

Riccardo Lenzi – a game producer with many years’ experience in managing internal, external and hybrid development teams across multiple formats.

Matt Sansam – now part of the Technology Strategy Board’s ICtomorrow management team, Matt has worked as Producer and Executive Producer at Rebellion, Core Design, Climax, Criterion, Psygnosis and SCi

Paul Durrant – representing Abertay University’s £25,000 grant for small companies developing their own interactive digital content.

Any Train2Game students who attend the BAFTA event will be able to find out more about what publishers are looking for in a prototype game and discover the lessons learned by the Dare to be Digital teams.

Dare to be Digital: Pitching a Prototype takes place at BAFTA in central London at 19:00 on Thursday 15^th March. Tickets cost £5, and can be purchased here. Much more information about the event is on the official BAFTA website.

Previous BAFTA events including Games Question Time and the Games Writers Panel have been very insightful, so Dare to be Digital: Pitching a Prototype will surely be useful to any Train2Game students who attend.

More about previous BAFTA events can be found right on The Train2Game Blog.
