Marie has a long experience working with games in concepting and prototype stages, and have been coaching several teams in incubator programs through this phase. Which type of coaching sessions Marie runs often depends on if the game has funding or not: Games without funding are normally focused on improving their chances to get some. The sessions Sharpen Deck and Simulated Pitch Session are very popular in these instances. Games with funding are often more focused on their vision, and making it as iconic and coherent as possible. Initially, the vision is built, and sessions Refine Game Pillars, Establish Experience Goals and Redefine USP:s are useful for this purpose, with slightly different takeaways. Focus then goes towards the game’s features, and this is when sessions Design Structure & Scope and The Steam Page being the most prominent ones, that help hone in on the core of the game and add high-value features that makes it shine. Before heading into production, Marie helps their teams with their roadmap in session Build Production Roadmap to ensure they are well set up to make their vision come to life whilst adhering to tech development, content production and staffing plans.
