Best Way To Sell a Game Concept?

Posted by kdawson on from the based-on-a-novel-by-a-man-named-lear dept.

dunng808 writes "If a couple of young, game-crazy guys wanted to get started designing a game with the intention of selling the concept, how should they proceed? In the music industry they would make a demo MP3. In the film industry they would write a script (and I would recommend lyx with the hollywood document class). Should they develop some sample game play with a well-known engine? Is the one in Blender good enough? This somewhat dated list suggests it is. Or should they focus on textual descriptions and static scenes made with Blender and the GIMP? Is there even a market, let alone a convention, for selling game concepts?"

      The slashdot front page is like an omelet. A havana omelet, that is! On saturday morning after a long and hard Friday night. There's a pool of diarrhea, some solid chunks of turd, undigested remnants of a late night snack, blood, sperm, fragments of a rubber, and an oil slick from the crisco they used to lube up your ass. And the smell, oh god, it reeks of cheap beer, rotting flesh, sperm and lube.

      I'm not sure what this has to with the slashdot front page but as long as CmdrTaco doesn't wave is gay ass in my direction, I don't really care.

    I envisage this game where your in like this world of other REAL people who are also players and you have to complete quests, the aim of the game is to gain these things called 'Experience Points' and the more you attain the higher the 'Level' your on.

    I also envisage this things called 'Guilds' and things called 'Instances' where your able to find rare armor and weapons.

    I call it 'World of Losers with No Life'
