Big things are afoot! This week has seen the release of the updat­ed web­site for the PAX Prime Indie Mega­booth com­plete with the full ros­ter of game stu­dios and a sam­pling of the games they’ll be show­ing. There will be some pret­ty awe­some stuff shown there with more games than you can shake a point­ed wood­en imple­ment at in a space the size of rough­ly *one* AAA stu­dio’s nor­mal booth area. We’re going to be packed in there pret­ty tight and cozy.

OMG MEGABOOTH

Now, I say “We” because Pix­elscop­ic is extra­or­di­nar­i­ly hon­ored and excit­ed to be includ­ed in this pow­er­house line­up. Yessiree we’re going to be pack­ing our bags and fly­ing our mer­ry butts to Seat­tle in less than a week to show of our first whol­ly orig­i­nal game next to the likes of sea­soned indie vets and rel­a­tive new­com­ers like our­selves. We attend­ed PAX Dev last year and the first day of Prime but only as observers — what a dif­fer­ence a year makes yah? To show our extreme lev­el of orga­ni­za­tion I present our trav­el schedule:

  1. Group A (Bak­er, Bur­rell, Coby) leave Spring­field on 29th at 12 pm.
  2. Group B (Ankur) leaves Colum­bia at when­ev­er he needs to.
  3. Group A picks up Group B at Group B’s mom’s home.
  4. Group A+B pro­ceed to Air­port — Kansas City, form­ing meta Group C.
  5. Group C flies to Air­port — Denver.
  6. Group C flies to Air­port — Seattle.
  7. Group C rush­es around like rabid mice to set­up booth.
  8. ???
  9. PROFIT

Delver’s Drop

Now, I men­tioned this game thing a sec­ond ago. It’s kind of a big deal for us. It’s called Delver’s Drop, it’s a 2D action RPG and it has its own web­site: http://delversdrop.com. It also has a newslet­ter signup so we can send you sweet whis­per­ings of awe­some­ness as the game gets clos­er to com­ple­tion and ful­fill­ing its des­tiny of great­ness — this is some­thing you should do. We’ll be post­ing more updates about it soon, includ­ing game art, a trail­er of some form, screen­shots, all that good gam­i­fied com­fort food. Suf­fice to say for now that it involves scoundrels, a mad king, princess­es, mys­ter­ies, and a giant hole…

If you hap­pen to be traips­ing through Seat­tle and man­aged to snag a PAX pass in the two day peri­od they were avail­able before sell­out… we’d love to talk to you at our booth! Stop by, ask us about our game, give it a spin, tell us about your pet cat, what­ev­er: Booth #881.

To bring this boat full cir­cle, I’m clos­ing with the Indie Mega­booth Trail­er of Sheer Joy™. Delver’s get’s its 4 sec­onds of fame at about 0:47:
