PAX South: the post-mortem

Hi everyone!

Last weekend I spent in San Antonio at PAX South, getting people to play BOID, give us feedback, and to test out some marketing messages -- to see how they resonate with twitch streamers, youtubers, the press, and you - the players.

To my surprise many people described BOID as "a very advanced tower defense" game, not the streamlined online strategy message we had going on before. This comes from younger players.

What I absolutely loved though is that even super casual players were able to pick BOID up easily. All I had to do is launch the tutorial, and then pitch people against each other in a simpler map.

We will be going full force with BOID at PAX East in Boston next month, so be sure to stop by the most orange booth you can find.

If you're curious to read the full post mortem of our PAX South experience, head over to the tinyBuild blog - there is a novel-sized PAX South 2015 Post Mortem there.
