• Documentary Game check-in: 5-10 minute informal presentation of your in-progress game project. Walk us through some of the following: your intentions, thoughts, doubts; your formal elements and the theme; the decisions you have made and will need to make; your visual/aesthetic/affective approach, etc. Consider how we might be able to be most helpful to you and ask of us questions you may be struggling with.
