Thanks for your patience this morning. I think we're off to a great start!

Here's today's slides.

Here are today's slides on the schedule.

Chris's slides..

Rickard Westman is an indie developer at Visiontrick Media, working on the game Pavilion for PC, PS4 and PS Vita.

We're going on a field trip to Avalanche. Since there are so many of you, John Fuller and his team have arranged a very detailed schedule. It's extremely important we keep all times and follow all instructions!

You'll all have to sign a NDA beforehand (instructions below). If you haven't signed it, you won't be admitted. You can have whatever reason not to sign it, but then you can't join the visit unfortunately.

Absolutely no photography or recording of any kind is permitted.

We meet at Avalanche Studios, Åsögatan 108, at 14.45. If you're late, you can't join.

We have a tight schedule until 17.00, then we're out.

Signing of the NDA

Many of you signed the NDA in class on Tuesday morning. For those of you not attending, you have to come by the studio and sign before Thursday noon. The NDAs, the list and the folder is by my work space at the back of the studio. 

1. Take a NDA, read and sign (on both sides)

2. Cross by your name on the list

3. Put the signed NDA in the folder

Remind us what you're working on and then focus on your successes and challenges. We expect a much more focused project, with clear goals and a distinct direction. Remember the dimensions: concept description, target group, technical platform/s, business plan.

We also want to see proof of your working demos, perhaps via a short video or a series of screen shots, or something.

• You’ll present your project idea in 4 mins + 2 mins discussion + 1 min switch

Presentation order:

08.16 - 09.05  Groups 14 – 8

09.11 - 10.00  Groups 7 – 1

Today we get a visit from Fatshark that are now have a huge success with Warhammer: End times - Vermintide.

We'll also talk about the logistics for the final presentation coming up in just a few days.

Here are my slides.

Today we'll get to listen to amazing pitches of your projects and play exciting demos! I already know this.

As always, we'll have to be very strict with the schedule and keep the times. Be well-prepared! 

Your pitches will be in two parts: a presentation at the big screen for 7 mins and a demo. It's organised so we'll do 4 projects per hour - but of course I expect everyone to be there the whole afternoon! You're responsible for setting up the demo of your game. Co-ordinate with the others in the same session so you divide the space in an efficient manner.

Schedule (all times are sharp!)

13.00 - 14.00 Groups 1-3, 7

• Simultaneous demos (29 mins)
