Ooh I'll be showing off my booth! I got a spot in the indie section for my Musical comedy RPG Game Over, but as a solo dev it's a bit nerve racking. If you come find me and mention Lemmy I'll give you whatever merch I have. If I don't have merch I might have to give you the computer or something, just to keep my word.

I think I saw your game at pax but forgot to say hi. Hope you had a great time

Oh thank you! I had a great time, I didn't expect as many people to come through and play it. I had set up carnival music to entice players, but never got a chance to use it as there was always a line, which was neat. Which game at PAX was your favourite?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I didn't spend as much time as I wanted to at the indie section, but the game where you roll around as a roly poly was insanely fun. And there were a bunch of really fun vr games.

Kill knight was also a ton of fun but I'm biased because it was made at the studio I work at 😅.

Will definitely pay you a visit!

Indie games, tabletop and classic consoles, as usual. And any dev related seminars or group events.

Is there much of a retro/collector’s presence at PAX? I’ve only been once, in the before COVID times when it was still finding its feet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Hell yeah there is, an entire section dedicated to retro and collectors. Still remember playing halo 2 split screen on an og xbox with a group of random people and it was so fun.

I can't go but if I was it would be the Mario kart competition lounge all day. Love that game

Yamaha Music Australia will probably be there. Go check them out because I used to work for them.

Omg thank you! This is a good suggestion
