Providing Documentation

Since my first product is going to be a software game called PBA Tour, it'll have similar documentation a typical video game comes with. For starters, the game case it comes in will contain an instruction manual which has information about all the aspects of the game: controls, menu, different modes the game has, different kinds of oil patterns available, warranty information, customer support number, troubleshooting.

Also, once we have a web site up, we'll have a page that contains a PDF file of this instruction manual so people that buy this game from someone else and don't get the instruction manual that comes with the game, will have it available to them online.

Elevator Pitch

I'm the Founder of a Start-Up software company. Our main goal is to create video games for entertainment purposes on the Nintendo Wii. Our first project is to create a bowling game based around the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour on ESPN with simple and similar controls to the Wii Bowling. One feature that makes our bowling game unique is the Career Mode that has you bowling at the same locations the PBA bowls on each week and going through the same formats of qualifying and eventually to the T.V. Finals, where you will have the opportunity to win the bowling tournament.

  • Why on the Nintendo Wii?

The controls scheme is fairly similar to Wii Bowling and wouldn't feel as interactive on any other system.

  • Why not go to an actual bowling alley to bowl?

Imagine you are at home and have a Nintendo Wii. You don't feel like going to a bowling alley because of the inconvenience of using a bowling ball that doesn't fit you or using bowling shoes that have been used by other people. Instead, you can just turn on your Nintendo Wii with our game and bowl as much as want without inconveniences.
