We’re wrapping things up here in California and getting ready to head to partly cloudy Seattle, the home of PAX Prime (where’s that Pearl Jam tape?). Fist Puncher will be on display with a host of awesome games from indie-friendly publisher Adult Swim. Here’s a tiny spoiler revealing a little bit of what the Adult Swim booth will have to offer.
We’ve been beefing up Fist Puncher with new characters and new play modes so even grizzled veterans can expect a few surprises. And, yes, this new version will soon be available on Steam, Desura, and Xbox.
PAX Prime is just around the corner in game-friendly Seattle. We’re excited to announce that we’ll be there demoing Fist Puncher as part of the Kickstarter Arcade. We’ll be joined by several other successful Kickstarter alums (more details later about who will be joining us) as we show off our projects and talk about our Kickstarter campaigns. Huge thanks to Kickstarter for selecting Fist Puncher for exhibition. Even bigger thanks go out to our many generous backers. The money we raised through Kickstarter will directly support the costs of attending one of the highest profile videogame shows of the year. None of this would be possible without our backers’ help! We’ll be spending the next few weeks getting a PAX build of Fist Puncher ready, and we’ll have more information about the Kickstarter Arcade in the upcoming days before the show. Seattle, we’ll see you soon.
These past couple weeks have been intense. Kickstarter, Greg Miller, video updates, interviews, and now we’re preparing to roll out to PAX East in Boston tomorrow. Let’s get everyone caught up on the highlights.
First, about a week and a half ago we launched our Kickstarter campaign to try to raise the final funding needed to complete Fist Puncher. There’s plenty of great incentives including copies of Fist Puncher, copies of Next Game Boss winner Washington’s Wig, a chance to become a playable character in Fist Puncher, and a ton more. We’re at about 45% right now and still have a long way to go. If you’re interested in pixel art brawlers or are dying to play as roller derby girl that confuses her enemies by kissing them, then check out our Fist Puncher Kickstarter.
Second, we appeared on IGN’s Up At Noon with Greg Miller where we did a fun interview at the end of the show. You can also check out the extended interview with Greg Miller. Lots of talk about Pies, quitting jobs, super indie icon Bean, Fist Puncher, dogs wearing wigs, and more.
We’ve also been doing a series of updates and additional video content to help promote our Kickstarter. You can hear from other indie developers, watch a talk we gave at the Super Happy Block Party Hackathon, listen to us give a shout-out thank you message to all of our first 100 Kickstarter backers, watch a trailer for Washington’s Wig, or just go to our Youtube channel and see all the video spam we’ve been flooding the internet with (no wonder the internet’s been full lately).
This weekend we’ll be at PAX East in Boston. We’ll be showing Fist Puncher and talking about our Kickstarter campaign off and on in the Kickstarter Arcade. Stop by to talk Kickstarter, give Fist Puncher a whirl, or rap about baseball (can the Brewers win the Central without Fielder?). We’ll also be wandering around checking out other games so if you have something awesome that we NEED to play, send us a message.
