5 incredible game pitch tips from art agent Lilla – with art from class!

Lilla here. My one-of-a-kind toy and game design course, My Toy Pitch, starts TODAY and I can’t wait to see what you come up with this year.

As an agent, I see exactly what jobs my amazing artists are getting, and I can tell you that toys and games – especially art-driven toys and games – are still an absolutely huge market. Why? Because people will always want and need to buy things for children, even during a downturn in the economy. Because parents are desperate to get their kids off screens for a while. Because right now we’re all craving that connection that playing a game or doing a puzzle together brings. And because we all want beautiful things in our homes. Last year, I ran this course
