But we got really lucky with our booth neighbors – we had each other’s backs, covered shifts, and just helped out overall.We didn’t really get a chance to explore much outside the Indie Arena, but honestly there was sooo much going on that I didn’t even manage to play all the indies there!People were playing The August Before NON-STOP.

Our business cards ran out halfway through the first day, so we had to reprint twice, and then we just started writing the game’s name on sticky notes and handing those out, ‘cause printing more again was just too expensive ːsteamfacepalmːOh and btw WE WON A WINGS AWARD???? (we didn't know it coming like .. AT ALL). So we would l…
