EGX Rezzed came and went. It was a pretty big success. A lot of people played Aviary Attorney, a lot of Exclusive Aviary Attorney Business Cards™ were handed out, and we met a lot of cool journalists, developers, and gamers. We even met three of our Kickstarter backers, which was pretty nerve-wracking (they all liked what they played, thankfully).

The response to the demo was overwhelmingly positive. Players generally realized that it wasn’t their sort of game within the first minute, or they played through to the very end of the demo. Players laughed at the jokes (which was the part I was most worried about), and they all picked up the game’s mechanics very quickly. The demo only had one unexpected bug, and we scrambled to have it fixed by day two of the convention.

Being in the Leftfield Collection meant that we were surrounded by the more unusual games of the convention. Aviary Attorney was sandwiched between Deep, an Oculus Rift game where your real-life breathing affected your in-game movement, and Her Story, an investigative crime game that’s making FMV cool again. The developers for both games turned out to be some pretty awesome people.

However, our favorite game of the Leftfield would have to be Plug and Play. The game is an endless string of blatant sexual innuendos tied together with WarioWare gameplay. It’s… quite something.

Now that it’s over, it’s time to push through with the script writing. I don’t think we’ll have time to attend another convention before release day, but attending something in Summer/Autumn is a possibility. Until then: it’s deving time.
