idea into a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/prism-vs.ch\/en\/domaine-icc\/digital-creation\/\">video game<\/a>\n<\/span>: from creative spark to launch on Steam<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"94\" data-end=\"514\">First off, a quick note: a game only really exists when it finds its audience \u2013 and that journey is longer than you might think. During this session, Guillaume Mezino and Lucas Cannellotto shared a practical roadmap for getting from concept to market: market analysis, agile prototyping, finding a publisher, and community marketing. <\/p><p data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"825\">First key point: <strong data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"577\">choosing the genre and platform<\/strong>. According to Guillaume Mezino, \u201890% of sales are decided at the ideation stage.\u2019 Understanding the niche, examining trends and calibrating the value proposition (hook, mechanics, visual identity) can help you avoid many pitfalls.  <\/p><p data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"1292\">Once the course has been set, it&#8217;s time for <strong data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"880\">prototyping<\/strong>. The goal is to produce a playable <em data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"923\">vertical slice<\/em> in two to four weeks so that it can be tested immediately with players. This initial feedback from the community already shapes the evolution of gameplay and storytelling. Lucas Cannellotto points out that a solid prototype is also the best argument when dealing with publishers: \u2018They don&#8217;t buy an idea, but a concrete experience.\u2019   <\/p><p data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1744\">Next comes <strong data-start=\"1311\" data-end=\"1329\">pre-production<\/strong>: planning, budgeting, <em data-start=\"1355\" data-end=\"1367\">pitch decks<\/em> and fundraising. SwissGames, for example, offers grants of up to CHF 50,000 and a coaching programme to help consolidate business plans or <g id=\"gid_2\">roadshows <\/g>at major trade shows (<g id=\"gid_3\">GDC<\/g>, <g id=\"gid_4\">Gamescom<\/g>, <g id=\"gid_5\">Nordic Game<\/g>). Each team must decide between traditional publishing \u2013 marketing support, QA, distribution \u2013 and self-publishing, which is riskier but potentially more profitable.  <\/p><p data-start=\"1746\" data-end=\"2183\">During <strong data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1763\">production<\/strong>, the game takes shape: development, art direction, sound design, QA&#8230; and above all, continuous communication. Guillaume Mezino recommends setting aside \u2018a third of the schedule\u2019 for adjustments based on player feedback, via Early Access or demos. Social media and the specialist press thrive on behind-the-scenes images, <em data-start=\"2098\" data-end=\"2112\">open devlogs<\/em> and <em data-start=\"2119\" data-end=\"2130\">beta keys<\/em> distributed to carefully targeted influencers.  <\/p><p data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2425\">After launch, everything begins: day-one fixes, balancing patches, additional content, console or mobile ports, community management. <strong data-start=\"2334\" data-end=\"2391\">A game&#8217;s longevity depends on its ability to evolve<\/strong> without betraying its initial promise.<\/p><p data-start=\"2427\" data-end=\"2674\">Finally, developing in Switzerland comes with its share of challenges \u2013 high costs, limited talent pool \u2013 but also advantages: institutional support, proximity between studios, increased visibility on the international scene thanks to SwissGames collective stands.<\/p><p data-start=\"2676\" data-end=\"2691\"><strong data-start=\"2676\" data-end=\"2691\">In summary:<\/strong><\/p><ol data-start=\"2693\" data-end=\"3039\"><li data-start=\"2693\" data-end=\"2797\"><p data-start=\"2696\" data-end=\"2797\"><strong data-start=\"2696\" data-end=\"2724\">Strategy from the outset:<\/strong> define genre, market and platform before writing a single line of code.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"2798\" data-end=\"2874\"><p data-start=\"2801\" data-end=\"2874\"><strong data-start=\"2801\" data-end=\"2833\">Prototype early, test often:<\/strong> the community is your best QA.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"2875\" data-end=\"2952\"><p data-start=\"2878\" data-end=\"2952\"><strong data-start=\"2878\" data-end=\"2906\">Marketing at every stage:<\/strong> tease, tell, listen \u2013 then adjust.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"2953\" data-end=\"3039\"><p data-start=\"2956\" data-end=\"3039\"><strong data-start=\"2956\" data-end=\"2995\">Capitalising on the Swiss ecosystem: <\/strong>scholarships, coaching, matchmaking and trade fairs.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><p data-start=\"3041\" data-end=\"3163\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">For further information, the replay of the session and additional resources from the speakers remain available online.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9292f3a elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"9292f3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xs\" href=\"https:\/\/prism-vs.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PRISM-Formation-Jeux-Videos_10-06-2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">See the presentation<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you a communications agency, developer, artist or creative professional with an interest in video games?
