Presentation Jam
So, Make Games has been invited to give a talk at Vodacom's conference on mobile games. I want to blow their frikken minds. But I want to do something a bit different for this presentation (going beyond my normal prezi approach). I'd really like to make a presentation in Game Maker or Unity (with maximum juice). I've been teaching myself game maker on the sly, but haven't got the skills yet to have something ready by Tuesday next week....
So...
Could I interest an artsy type and a codey type to help me jam a presentation for Vodacom on Friday? I've got some coding skills necessary so I'm not totally useless. Will pay in beer/pizza/hugs/beverages/food

Evan was awesome with his explodathon presentations. Maybe bug him for template/code/stuff that's readymade and go from there? :)
(but getting a mobile build off game maker or unity would be amazeballs :D)
Wishing you all of the best with it.
Some suggestions:
1) Even though Vodacom gave you such short notice, the talk may be important.
2) Therefore, rather use straight forward slides than trying to make something in GM or Unity.
Spend the time making the slides as perfect as possible.
3) Depending on what platforms they want the talk to be about (iOS, Android, Blackberry, etc.), the devs here can give you relevant screen shots.
(You can take whatever you want from purefungames.com if the presentation includes iOS.)
4) Depending on what devices you have, the devs here can give you relevant builds, which you can show off on the devices, to supplement the slides.
Dipso is probably right, but once the presentation is done there is no harm in trying to demo something cool, but HTML5 is probably the best bet...and then you can tell the people via the presentation to go to the link on any device.
PS: What when where is the conference? - I'd like to be there!
When is it, monday? And where is it? In CT?
I've already got a backup prezi just in case I can't get this going. A feel a game as presentation will have a massive impact, but if worse comes to worse my showmanship will just have to do ;)
