how did people receive the game at the convention?
Very well. Me and Charlotte took it to two conventions so far:
ChargerCon &
Hama-ConWe are planning on bringing it to other conventions, but so far no one has replied to my e-mails.
Here is a video of us at ChargerCon:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ss1HU2eEC90Just about everyone seemed to like it and at both conventions. The leaderboard got competitive near the end. One of the top players at Hama-Con was both red-green & yellow-blue colorblind, so that helped show us that our colorblind mode worked good.
It was a great opportunity to get feedback, both from people talking to us and just watching people play and see what they do.
We also met a lot of great people. We met someone that does YouTube videos of games (who decided to do a couple for our game), someone from the local news, and some people that work for Curse, Inc (they sponsored ChargerCon). Plus a lot of great gamers.
Right now working on the game is on hold due to some unrelated issues, but it should pick up again.
The next convention we are trying to get into is:
ChattaconLet me know if you know any other good conventions in the southeast US. Would be great to run into some TMA members.
