Introduce Yourself : It's nice to be here! by Colin Deakin

It's nice to be here!

Hi everyone, I’m Colin, a UK‑based game show creator developing a slate of original formats. I’m autistic, which gives me a strong affinity for structure, logic, and fair gameplay — all the things that make game shows work. I’m here to connect with other creatives, learn from the community, and share insights from the development process. Looking forward to being part of the conversation.

Hi, Colin Deakin. Great to meet you. Welcome to the community. Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world. www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

Stage 32 had its monthly Community Open House Wednesday. The recording will be available soon (www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32s-january-2026-community-open...). It's free to watch. It'll also help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros.

I have a Horror Comedy game show. I made a pitch deck, sizzle reel, and posters for it. I met a producer on here during Stage 32’s monthly Introduce Yourself Weekend (the third weekend every month, Friday-Monday) and signed a shopping agreement for my show once.

Reach out to the Success Team at success@stage32.com. Geoff and his team can help you connect with producers, executives, and more to pitch your shows to.

It's great to meet you Colin Deakin! I think it's incredibly interesting that you create game shows. I went to your profile to see if there were any links to some that I could take a look at but didn't see any. What are some game shows that you've created? Welcome to Stage 32!

Hello @colindeakin Good luck with those formats! Bravo!

Colin Deakin

Maurice Vaughan Thanks so much for the welcome, Maurice — really appreciate you sharing all of this. The blog and the Open House recording sound incredibly useful, so I’ll definitely check those out. It’s great to hear how you’ve used Stage 32 to build connections for your own game show too. Congratulations on getting a shopping agreement at one point, that’s a fantastic achievement.

I’ll reach out to the Success Team as you suggested. Thanks again for taking the time to point me in the right direction — it’s genuinely helpful.

Leonardo Ramirez Hi Leonardo, Thanks so much for the welcome! I really appreciate you taking the time to look at my profile. I’m working on a small slate of original game show formats. They’re all at different stages of development, so I don’t share full details publicly, but I’m always happy to chat about the kind of spaces I’m exploring.

Broadly, my projects play with strategy, pressure, and player‑driven jeopardy—each one built around a simple core decision that becomes more interesting as the game unfolds. I love formats where psychology and gameplay collide.

If you’re ever interested in connecting or talking shop about development, I’m always open to a conversation. Thanks again for the warm welcome!

Jack Binder Hi Jack, thanks very much for the welcome, it's much appreciated

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Colin Deakin. Thanks.

You could post about your game shows on your profile when they're ready. Producers search profiles for projects. That and networking are how I sold four short scripts to a producer. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post about your shows on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

And I'm a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. If you ever have any questions about Stage 32, let me or another Lounge Moderator know. We have badges on our pictures. Or you could email support@stage32.com.

You are very welcome Colin Deakin. Having a format where psychology and gameplay intersect does sound interesting. Happy to connect!
