Whew... Finished up four days of ReplayFX and had only a minor disaster on the last day. Got to meet a few hundred great people who tried out the game (and one somewhat inebriate.) Gave out half the cards we had printed and may have picked up another contract. All in all a win.
This was my neighbor, he was really nice and draws comics. You can check his stuff out at jonchad.com Behind him was a guy that restores pinballs and arcades.
And this was the creepy automated puppet show across from us. This would play traditional children's themes from time to time. This was on sale for 600$. Don't have the space. Also don't want to be murdered in my sleep by tiny puppets. Whenever they played "It's a small world" all I could hear was :
"It's a world of dread, it's world of fear,
The good people do not end up here.
It's a fact, you'd been had. You are here, cause you're bad!
You're the dead one after all. "
Well, you get the point.
This was Mike's booth. He's with a Cleveland dev team and they're working on a head-to-head both where you're blasting balls over to the other side of the arena. They kind of had him at the ass end of nowhere. I knew where he was and had trouble getting to them. I had to traverse around the inflatable obstacle course. He did end up winning best indie game in show, though!
In addition to all the marketing we learned about three other possible events to attend. Magfest maybe? ArcadeExpo in LA? (maybe that one.) There's also Kurokiro Festival.
Well, need to catch up on several hours of sleep deprivation.
