Visually attractive cover

With this proposal template, the first thing your client sees won't be a game design document, but an attractive cover instead. As a developer, you understand how much the first impression matters, so the goal is to start the proposal with an attention-grabbing image. You can change everything, from the text, logo, and background image to make it a better fit for your needs.

Pre-written introduction section

How to write a meeting summary and also explain to a client everything you had in mind to create a perfect game concept? Luckily, that is something you don't have to stress over, as our pre-written introduction section is already structured for you. You just need to add a few specifics about the game mechanics and your client, and that's it.

Like everything else in this proposal, it's completely editable - the colors, the text, images, layout - everything.

Processes and timelines

Explaining the developing and designing aspects of the game to someone outside of your industry can be stressful, especially if they're not avid gamers. You want to give enough detail, but not so much that it seems overwhelming.

Fortunately, we created a plan of action already sectioned to fit the perfect amount of information. You can adjust it to suit your exact process.

Case study example

The number of game developing companies that don't mention customer reviews or examples of their work in a proposal is terrifying. If you want to be taken seriously, you need to show that you understood the client's wishes and you came up with a practical solution.

In this video game development proposal template, we've set out an example case study. All you need to do is replace our example with one of yours and use the structure we've used.

Pricing

No matter what your industry is, communicating your rates cannot be overstated. Use our quote generator table to assist you in listing your labor rates and any other job expenses you wish to make transparent to your client.

Next steps with digital signing

While customer traffic is essential, a common pitfall is the lack of communication when handling many customers at once. To shed some of this burden, use our 'Next steps' page to explain to your clients exactly what the next steps are and to allow them to digitally sign the proposal right away.

Our digital signatures are 100% legal and compliant. When your client signs, you can see their signature certificate in your Better Proposals account.

Pre-written contract

Even freelancers and small companies need to make sure a contract covers their work. Our Terms and Conditions page has been explicitly written with video game developers in mind; however, if it doesn't suit you entirely, it is as customizable as the rest of this proposal.

We're not legal professionals, but if you don't have the terms of use written by now, this will likely be a great start. That said, get a legal professional to read it over.

Take payments from your clients

Getting paid - it's the hardest thing to do in business. The sooner and the easier you can get that money in your account, the better.

Using our integrations with Stripe, PayPal, and GoCardless, you can take payment from your client the moment they sign your proposal. Then, if needed, you can also start a subscription.
