PAX East Highlights
PAX East was fun. Spent almost all my time on the show floor this time.
Some highlights:
The strange favorite of the show was a game developed originally for the Ouya (Android game console) by a single developer, a 2D arena combat game with ducks aptly titled Duck Game.
Knight Squad, a similarly hectic multiplayer (eight player!) game, was also crazy good.
I loved the art style of The Magic Circle. Excited to see the finished game.
Invisible Inc. was awesome and challenging. I recommend this one if you like turn-based tactics (like X-COM or the old Fallout games).
I enjoyed playing the demo for Dreadnought, which was like Team Fortress meets Battlestar Galactica. Giant spaceship combat! It's awesome.
Fate Tectonics was the quirkiest demo, a bit like Carcassonne meets Sim City.
The demo for Moon Hunters made me really glad I funded their Kickstarter. Looking forward to the completed game.
For tablet games, the "air hockey meets the four elements" game Colliding Forces was interesting and fun.
The indie game section of the expo was huge and amazing this year. I thought I'd seen all of that section of the expo, but I didn't see half of the things here.
