So let's get this out of the way, the road leading up to your first convention is probably the worst stress you'll ever encounter. We were losing our minds, everything went wrong..But someone close to us reassured us that things always work out. Our booth was double booked, we were moved to the wrong place, and eventually nearly didn't have a booth. I had to drive a van loaded with stuff to PAX's loading dock and sit there till someone would come help us, it came that close to not happening! Thankfully a staff organizer eventually came and gave us more than what we bargained for...

For our headache, we got 3 times the booth we imagined! And moved next to Bandai Namco (Which kinda scared us, haha) We were planning on having a normal booth but were upgraded to a 10x30 (The normal is 10x10). So we had to scramble to adjust our layout last minute. Then we spent the day before bug fixing and rebalancing the game up till 3am, when the final build came out. It's what stereotypical game developer stories are made of.

We had no idea if people were even going to enjoy the game or play it. It was really a nerve wracking lead up. However, what ultimately happened was the opposite of our worst fears- Everyone actually enjoyed the hell out of it! We don't have any gameplay footage up yet but people had a blast. We had a demo with Vlad and Volley in the beach stage and it was super easy to pick up and play for everyone. We had crowds nonstop for 3 days, and the team got to see that...Really feel grateful as we've been working away on a bubble of a Discord server with barely any money, it was SO good for morale and showed us we might have something good here. It's hard to state how much better it performed than we expected.

So after a short bout of PAX plague work has resumed! We're all excited for what the future holds now. Thank you for following our little journey so far. And yes, it was totally worth the stress! We also celebrated hitting 3k followers on Twitter recently! It might not seem like much but this was a huge milestone for us considering how early we are in development. We're tryhards so we made a gif to immortalize the moment! (Gifs are so much more fun than proper dev, good way to turn off our brains)

PS: Also, woohoo to another front page! :) Happy day.

PS2: Always wash your hands every 30 seconds at PAX. Con flu is too real.
