Pitch Ya Pitch for Pitch Ya Game

The next #PitchYaGame* Competition in November has a cool $10,000 in prizes up for grabs -- sponsored by Aurora Punks and Cold Pixel. 

We reckon that's worth a bit of preparation. So, to help you prepare your game and make sure your pitch is ready to go, we're launching the inaugural Indie Legion #PitchYaPitch Jam!

Running from Mon 18 to Sun 24 October 2021, you have 7 Days to get your playable demo and pitch deck ready. Will you survive the ensuing slaughter?
