Here’s a couple more webisodes from our trip to GDC. We got some final thoughts on the show and put together some highlights of the hours and hours of Fist Puncher gameplay. Thanks to everyone that stopped by the booth to play, GameSpy for hooking us up with the exhibition space, the other members of the Indie Open House for being supportive and welcoming, Notch for having an inspirational beard, Phil Fish for not swearing at us, and Greg Miller for making the whole show possible by saving the world just moments prior to the doors opening.

GDC 2012: In Search of Notch
One of the more exciting parts of GDC was the rumor that epic videogame super-celebrity Notch, creator of Minecraft, was roaming around the exhibition floor. We tried desperately to hunt down The Bearded One, show him our game Fist Puncher, and hopefully be granted a coveted spot in his CubeCon convention. Take a look at these webisodes that track our exploits as Team Fist Puncher goes In Search of Notch.
Back from GDC
We made it back from GDC… somehow. We’re still decompressing, but the whole thing was a blast. We set up and demoed Fist Puncher in the GameSpy booth Wednesday through Friday (huge thanks to everyone from IGN and GameSpy that helped us get things working). We had almost non-stop gameplay going on, and we were able to get quite a bit of great feeback and a number of terrific suggestions on improving the game. But maybe the best was just jumping into a game of Fist Puncher with a crew of strangers and punching and kicking the heck out of anarchists, luchadores, and dudes with flamethrowers. Big thanks to everyone that stopped by to play. Sadly, since we spent almost all of our time demoing, we didn’t have much time to see the rest of the show. We didn’t meet Notch, weren’t able to get into a flame war with Phil Fish, and only had a few opportunities to play other games. Still, it was absolutely worth it. Getting Fist Puncher into the hands of actual, real-life gamers was incredible. For those who played, who was your favorite character? Dr. Karate, the Beekeeper, O’Grady? We’ll be posting some webisodes from GDC in the upcoming days so stay tuned. In the meantime, keep punching!
