Two weeks ago, I was tasked with creating a game pitch based on my research into my design topic and presenting it to the class. I had a much easier time writing the pitch than I expected. Once I chose a specific scenario I wanted to explore— in this case, the practice of “redlining” in the 1930s and how it has contributed to and perpetuated wealth inequality between white people and BIPOC— I was able to branch out from there and figure out how I wanted to demonstrate my message in gameplay,

I wasn’t able to present live due to anxiety, but I did discuss the idea with my team when we were selecting a pitch to go with. The process of selecting a pitch in a discussion was valuable because we were able to explore different directions for various ideas, and after doing that we ended up putting it to a vote.
