This guide outlines the process for investors to experience a live demo of your game in just a few minutes. The
goal is to make it effortless for investors to see the current build, interact with it, and make an informed
decision.
Step-by-Step Guide for Setting Up and Pitching the Demo
Set Up the Remote Game Environment (5 Minutes)
Clone the VM Image: Start with the pre-configured VM (from the master build).
Clone the VM in Azure. This step takes about 5 minutes.
Once cloned, the VM will automatically assign an IP address (e.g.,
rtx_vm_ip).
Lock the Game in Full-Screen Mode
To ensure the investor is always immersed in the game, configure the system so that
alt+tab or windows exit is disabled, keeping them inside the
game.
This ensures that the experience is uninterrupted and the game runs in full-screen, without
accidental exits.
Provide the IP Address to the Investor
After cloning the VM, the machine’s IP address will be visible (e.g.,
rtx_vm_ip). Share this IP address with the investor so they can connect remotely.
You can share it by email, or any ways to share it.
Don't forget to share login details as well.
Investor Setup Process
The Moonlight and Sunshine setup enables low-latency game streaming, with Sunshine acting as the
server that streams the
game to the investor's device using Moonlight as the client. This ensures smooth, high-quality
gameplay with minimal
delay, providing a seamless experience for investors.
1. Download and install Moonlight on their device.
Once Sunshine login is successful, the investor will be prompted for Windows
login.
Enter the following credentials:
Username: source
Password: source
Computer Name: rtx2udk
Game Launch and Investor Experience
Once both logins are successful, the investor will see the current build of
your game running on their device, streamed directly from the remote machine.
The game will start automatically, and the investor can interact with the demo
as if they were playing it locally.
Continuous Demo Updates
The advantage of this system is that the investor will always have access to the latest
build of the game. Any updates or changes you make to the game will be immediately
available for investors to experience without needing to reconfigure or re-download anything.
Summary of Benefits for Investors
Easy Access: Investors can experience the current build of the game directly on their
phone, tablet, or desktop, with no special setup required on their end.
No Installation Needed: They just need the Moonlight app and the
IP address. The demo is ready to go in minutes.
Seamless Experience: The setup ensures that they are always inside the game, without
distractions, helping them focus on the gameplay and the potential of your project.
Always Up-to-Date: Every time the investor connects, they will see the most
recent version of the game, keeping them in the loop as the development progresses.
Additional Pitch Tips:
Highlight the Scalability: Emphasize how this setup is not just for one investor, but
can be used to scale and present the game to multiple potential investors or stakeholders at the same
time, each on their own device.
Focus on Security and Control: Mention that this system allows full control
over the demo environment and can be easily reset or modified if needed.
Show the Speed: With cloning and the VM setup, stress how quickly you
can scale this demo to any number of investors, providing a truly agile solution.
