What are the most effective ways to make tutorials engaging?
Teaching a player how to play is not the primary goal of a tutorial. While it is a goal, the primary goal is actually to convince the player to keep playing. Focus on cultivating fun and curiosity for the player from the moment they enter the game. For example, small icons guiding players through the fun can make a tutorial feel more like they’re already playing, rather than onboarding to a new game.

How can you pitch your startup to communities and events?
When it comes to learning your pitch, it is quite straightforward. I record myself running through the pitch five times. By the end, I've removed any kinks in the presentation and know the narrative flow well enough that I can recite it in a way that feels natural. NOTE: Don't try to memorize word for word. You know the content, give yourself the flexibility to deliver it in the moment. This will allow you to connect better with your audience and adapt to any unexpected hiccups.
