Adventure Game Fan Fair This Weekend
Time flies, and this event is now upon us! If you’re in the Seattle/Tacoma area from July 26-28 and love adventure games, this festival is not to be missed.
I will be exhibiting in-person with demos of Perfect Tides: Station to Station and the original Perfect Tides, alongside some very talented game developers. The show will also be attended by some of the most celebrated figures of the genre, so it is quite an honor to be participating. You can find me at my demo table from Friday to Sunday, hanging at the post-show events, and speaking during a panel about Pixel Art on Sunday at 12:30 (full schedule here).
It’s been a long time since I posted, so how about a brief update while I’m here? Perfect Tides: Station to Station is in a heavy editing stage, where it is necessary (and desirable!) to make each chapter of the game fully playable for people other than myself. There is much to do at this stage, but it is coming along swiftly, and it’s what we’re all here for, yes? I am optimistic that I’ll have something truly ugly-playable and rigorously edited by the fall — tentatively ready for a playtesting pool1 by the end of the year.
So there’s a not-so-fuzzy timeline. There is still so much to do, but holes are starting to look like gaps, and gaps are starting to be filled, and that’s an unbelievable place to be with a game that quite recently felt insurmountable. On we go!
