Today we release version 5 of the pitch2table mobile app. Like every release, version 5 gives you new ways to work on your game designs when out and about.

This release adds the following:

• Tasks
• Pitch Events & Competitions
• Publisher follow up dashboard improvements
• Play Test improvements
• Bookmarked or starred games

Tasks

Each game now has their own task list that you can use to focus yourself on what’s next. Don’t expect tasks to be a full scale Kanban board with assignment, due dates etc. We didn’t designed it for that. Most games on pitch2table are solo designs and, we also have reminders through publisher follow ups and conventions.

Think of tasks as the next most important thing for you to do to get a game ready for pitching. For example: testing a change to reduce upkeep or, create new cards to take to the play test on the weekend. Use tasks to focus on what’s next for your game. As people use the feature more, we’ll find more ways to integrate them tightly and help you stay focused on your goals.

Pitch Events & Competitions

We rolled out event support a couple of months ago. Events are a way to keep track of conventions where there is an opportunity for you to play test or pitch. This release now adds pitch event and convention support.

Pitch events are great opportunities for you to get your game in front of a publisher. Competitions are amazing for feedback and getting some recognition for your design. Like conventions, you can link your games to them. This is entirely private and no-one beyond your co-designers will see. Both pitch events and competitions have submission dates and if you have a game linked. Ahead of that date we’ll send out a reminder to you, no more missing the deadline because you forgot!

Pitch events, like the recent Pegasus Spiele Designer Days are opportunities to pitch and get feedback. Now, when you link a game to a pitch event, and that event is connected to a publisher, we will automatically add that publisher to the games’ publisher shortlist.

Publisher Follow Up Improvements

We’ve made some improvements to follow ups with publishers. Now, on your dashboard, when a game has a follow up due, we will show you all the overdue publishers. This will help you prepare for who you need to talk to next.

With version 5, after you do talk to publishers, you can set the follow up date as you record your update. It was 3, 14 or 28 days depending on the status but now you can change it to your liking.

Play Testing Improvements

A couple of little things here, now when you’re tracking data at the game level e.g. number of rounds, there are now buttons you can press to adjust the number by one. We also fixed an issue where you couldn’t edit a play tester’s name.

Bookmarked or Starred Games

At the start of the year we added the ability to set a game as one of your 2025 goals. Most designers have used it like a bookmark to get to games their working on more quickly. So we’ve changed the icons and text to reflect that.
