PAX East 2016 Back and Better than Ever!
It’s that time of year again! PAX East is right around the corner, and it’s going to be a big one for Zephyr Workshop! Not only do we have a large booth this year, but we have some all new, never before seen A.E.G.I.S. content to be demoed!
Bots and Booths:
We have one location this year, located in the tabletop show floor! We’re teaming up with our publishers, Greenbrier Games so we have twice the demo space. We’ll be making excellent use of this, by showing off not only A.E.G.I.S but our upcoming digital game Florafiora! So be sure to stop by booth C709 play some games, talk to the developers, and say hi! A.E.G.I.S. has been upgraded visually in the last year, but the game play is what you know and love. We also might have some awesome promo cards for those who stop by!
Managing a booth for all three days takes an awesome, well organized, and dedicated convention team, and this year we have veterans, Breeze, Jesse, Sarah, Ryan, Zach, Craig, and Marc McCrevan returning from last year. We needed skilled newcomers for support, and we found them! Emily Hancock, the amazingly talented artist for Florafiora, Andy Morrow, our fantastic videographer, and two extremely talented upcoming game devs, Ian Goldblatt and Tyler Haddad!
Three Panels!
Along with our booth, we’re upping our panel game as well! Members of Zephyr Workshop will be on three different panels over the course of the weekend!
Card Game Design: The Struggling Friday at 6:30 in the Arachnid Theater! A panel all about what goes into designing your dream card game, tips and tricks in how to do so from very successful designers. Featuring White Wizard Games, the creators of Star Realms and Epic, alongside designers from Hidden Ladder Games, Artana, our publisher Greenbrier Games, and of course, Jesse and Breeze from Zephyr Workshop.
Battle Decks – Game Pitching Karaoke Friday at 8:30 PM in the Bobcat Theater! Want to pitch a game idea based on a power point you’ve never seen? Want to watch what unfolds when people try? Breeze and Sarah will be joining the other minds behind the Worcester Game Pile to host this awesome pitch competition!
Do You Have What it Takes to Publish an Indie Board Game? Saturday at 4:30 in the Cuttlefish Theater! Back due to popular demand! Once you’ve learned how to design a game from our previous panel, the next step is how do I publish my game? This panel covers all you need to know about getting your game published and out into the world. Featuring Greenbrier Games, White Wizard Games, Fun to 11 Games, Artana, and Breeze and Sarah from Zephyr Workshop!
We hope you’re all as excited about PAX as we are! Be sure to follow us on Twitter @Zephyr_Workshop and on Facebook for more PAX updates before and during the event!
