A couple of weeks ago Jeff and Nick took Forts to Boston, MA, for PAX East., as part of the PAX Australia Roadshow. We had a great corner booth, with four stations set up, and a big screen running the trailers. The Boston gaming public really took a shine to Forts and there was barely a free moment to check our appointments calendar. Speaking of appointments, The Zero Review came by to chat and awarded us Editor’s Choice – Best Indie Game of the show.
Many a content creator came by and expressed how excited they were to play Forts against their friends on their channel. In fact, it was great to meet a few of them in person, including long time supporter Ctop, as well as Dreagast and Demo Storm. We also me a couple of Aussie YouTubers LazarBeam and Mr Meola. They’ve all been making Let’s Play videos of Forts as part of out Influencer Outreach PR initiative, so please check them out.
Being part of the PAX Australia Roadshow was a real honour. The guys at Surprise Attack did a great job organising the show, sorting out the booth, banners, padded flooring, and volunteers. These were all a great help, but the real value was them bringing round reps from various platform holders and publishers. All in all, it was great to be in the company of great aussie games like Armello, Think of the Children, Hacknet and Dead Static Drive.
Next stop, launch. Be sure to add Forts to your Steam Wishlist and we’ll see you on April 19!
