Games with a hook
A clear, exciting idea you can explain in one breath — and a reason players will tell their friends.
What we’re listening for
We’re always on the lookout for bold, heartfelt games and the people who make them. If your idea makes you grin, we want to hear it.
Something playable
Prototypes, vertical slices or gameplay video help a lot — but a strong concept is welcome too.
Teams with heart
Solo dreamers and small crews alike. Tell us who you are and what you love to make.
Send a transmission
Four quick stops. Your answers are saved on this device as you go, so you can come back and finish later.
Questions from the launch pad
What makes a great pitch?
Lead with the hook: what the player does, why it feels fresh, and who it’s for. A short video or a playable build tells us more than a long document, so link one if you have it.
Do I need a playable build?
No. Concepts are welcome. If you have a prototype, gameplay capture or art, it helps us picture your game — but a clear, exciting idea is the most important ingredient.
What should I avoid sending?
Please don’t attach large files or anything you aren’t comfortable sharing. Links to a video, build page or deck are perfect, and you can always follow up with more later.
What happens after I hit launch?
Your transmission goes to the GNOVA crew. We read every pitch, and if it’s a fit for what we’re working on we’ll reach out by email to set up a call.
Can I pitch more than one game?
Absolutely — send one transmission per game so each idea gets its own spotlight.
