Whew … back from PAX and it was as exhausting as it was amazing.

If you were at PAX and stopped by to check out “The Splatters” – Thank you! People played pretty much non-stop from the entire time the show floor was open, three days straight.

We got so many positive responses from people, so we did the long trip home with lots of motivation and excited to be back to work and get it done! We also learned so much from watching people play with it that I can honestly say the game will be so much better just because we attended PAX.

Not only that but they all played it running off an XBOX360 which I’m especially happy about since it was such a big effort to get it running in time. This being the first time I’m developing for the XBOX is no easy feat – luckily I had Daniel join in time for the last push.

Some press coverage

PAX is a big event with so many things going on. This being our first game we’re so happy to get any coverage that helps spread the words and hopefully people that care about games like ours will find out it exists!

So a big thanks to all the media members that visited – here is some of the Press coverage “The Splatters” got as a result:

“It was the most instantly gratifying game I played at PAX” - Jordan Devore, Destructoid

“It’s a tough game to describe, but there is one word that sums it all up – fun.” – Zach Martin, Piki Geek

There’s also a video from GiantBomb covering all the PAX 10 selections of this year.

And lastly, a really cool podcast from “A Jumps B Shoots”.

The splatters launch onto the Xbox Marketplace

“The Splatters” now have an official place in the Xbox marketplace and you can already go and check out the latest information, screen-shots and our announcement trailer through your xbox. It’s also available at the online marketplace.

Two locations to play The Splatters

That’s it. We packed everything and off to PAX Prime in Seattle. As i’m writing this post our latest build is being uploaded – come and check it out if you’re at the event, we think it’s awesome! It’s been a crazy ride getting this build ready to demo at PAX and we really can’t wait to see how people respond to it. Now we only have to get into a car, drive 30 minutes to the airport, stand in some lines and fly almost half way around the globe ;) The Splatters will be playable in two locations. One, the PAX10 booth #6301 along with the other great winners (where you’re most likely to find us hanging out). Second location is the XBOX 360 booth #432 where there will be another kiosk playing “The Splatters” all day long! I know, it’s crazy!

T-Shirt alert

On top of it all we’ll be bringing limited edition T-Shirts to give out at the show, we’re still not sure how exactly you’ll ‘earn’ those – but most likely you’ll need to show some skill with the Splatters. There’s also a ‘tradition’ of sort with PAX10 developers having an open panel to take questions and discuss what’s on our minds. The developers are split into two groups and we’ll be on Sat’ 27th 6:30pm at the “Unicorn Theatre”.

See you soon,
