Post-PAX Report – State of the Beta and Everything Else
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010
Been a bit of a crazy last week. This is the first real chance I’ve had to blog about things – and I’ll have to do it quickly, since there are a bunch of threads from our players in the forums that I need to answer. (Side note – being able to write the last sentence was incredibly exciting to me.)
In the interests of just getting this damn thing up, I’m going to just get the whole Beta and PAX story out in one post. This might make it a bit long, we’ll see.
Given that, I’ll tell you the upshot right here:
- PAX itself was an amazing validation of the game we’re trying to create. We were received with open arms by lots of gamers that think this is an awesome idea. Many have since shelled out an electronic Abraham Lincoln and snagged the beta!
- The other non-game highlights of the week were that I was on NPR (around 25 minutes in) with Mike Dornbrook of Harmonix, and that I and other area devs Ichiro Lambe (Dejobaan Games), Damián Isla (Moonshot Games), and Eitan Glinert (Fire Hose Games) were on a PAX Panel called, “Indies Will Shoot You In The Knees”, which apparently went over like gangbusters at the conference.
- We intend to get our our first update this Friday, with a pile of bug fixes, at least one new piece of event art, and several new events.
Also – pics by fellow Boston Indies crony Mike Carriere. There’s some of me later in the set. I look like I’ve been awake for years. Good times!
So, on with the show! (more…)
