A week after launch, publisher Devolver digital confirmed that the game had sold over 2 million copies on Steam, with some estimating it had been downloaded over 8 million times on PS4. But <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/fall-guys\/\"><em>Fall Guys<\/em><\/a>&#8216; path to success had humble beginnings. In fact, <em>Fall Guys<\/em>&#8216; pitch to publishers started with gifs of a cult-favorite Japanese game show named <em>Takeshi&#8217;s Castle<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 and the rest is history.<\/p>\n<p>In a lengthy thread on Twitter, Mediatonic creative director Jeff Tanton explained in great detail the process of putting a pitch together for <em>Fall Guys<\/em>. Tanton describes how <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fall-guys-hardest-mini-games-slimeclimb\/\"><em>Fall Guys<\/em> came together<\/a> surprisingly fast, starting with a one-page internal pitch for <em>Fool&#8217;s Gauntlet<\/em> from lead game designer Joe Walsh. The team took that one page and built a pitch deck, a presentation usually made in PowerPoint, in 24 hours. Mediatonic was just that excited about the possibility.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fall-guys-season-2-gamescom\/\">Fall Guys Season 2 Reveal Coming at Gamescom<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tanton even shared some of the first <em>Fall Guys<\/em> concept art that was put together for that pitch deck, showing how consistent <em>Fall Guys<\/em>&#8216; design was even from the beginning. The art even featured a prototype version of <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fall-guys-ps5-concept\/\"><em>Fall Guys<\/em>&#8216; bean characters<\/a>, top-heavy and with clumsy arms just as they are now. There was even a piece of art showing a prototype <em>Fall Guys<\/em> level that contains some features currently seen in-game, including a seesaw.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jeff_Tanton\/status\/1296494854827126785\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Tanton gets to the actual pitch for <em>Fall Guys<\/em>. He describes pitching to 10 different publishers during <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/gdc-loot-box-regulation-roundtable-censorship\/\">GDC 2018<\/a> and how nervous he was, even with Devolver Digital who Mediatonic was friendly with. But Tanton explained that he started the <em>Fall Guys<\/em> pitch with two slides full of gifs from <em>Takeshi&#8217;s Castle<\/em>, which both cut through everyone&#8217;s nervousness and sold the concept of <em>Fall Guys<\/em> perfectly well.<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar, <em>Takeshi&#8217;s Castle<\/em> was a game show in which regular people would go through stages of obstacles and challenges. The players would often fail miserably, which was what made <em>Takeshi&#8217;s Castle<\/em> so unique, fun, and hilarious. Other <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/wipeout-tv-show-revival-tbs\/\">TV shows like <em>Wip<\/em><em>eout<\/em><\/a> also capitalized on this concept, and it&#8217;s the same idea as <em>Fall Guys<\/em>, only <em>Fall Guys<\/em> evolved it into a battle royale type of competition. It&#8217;s so smart it&#8217;s a surprise no one else made something similar first.<\/p>\n<p>The full thread from Tanton is well worth checking out. It includes several anecdotes about how certain pieces of<em> Fall Guys<\/em> came together, and it&#8217;s just rich, in general, with excitement over what the team accomplished and how happy he is over <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fall-guys-players-ps4-milestone\/\"><em>Fall Guys<\/em>&#8216; success<\/a>. It&#8217;s astonishing that <em>Fall Guys<\/em> was made in just two years, but when it&#8217;s clear how excited the games&#8217; developers were for it, it&#8217;s much more understandable.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Fall Guys<\/em><\/strong> is available now on PC and PS4.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fall-guys-tips-help-avoid-elimination\/\">Fall Guys: 10 Pro Tips To Avoid Elimination<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Fall Guys&#8217; Creative Director Jeff Tanton describes pitching the game to 10 publishers started with gifs of Japanese game show Takeshi&#8217;s Castle.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Fall Guys Was Pitched to 10 Different Publishers | Game Rant - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"Fall Guys' Creative Director Jeff Tanton describes pitching the game to 10 publishers started with gifs of Japanese game show Takeshi's Castle."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58860"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58860"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58861,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58860\/revisions\/58861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
