I miss cons. Specifically cool and groovy, inclusive and diverse cons. That is all.

Whippering Indie Cup 2015

My brother and I recently had the opportunity to take Coffee Pot Terrarium on the road and introduce a playable demo to the community for the first time. It all took place at Whippering Indie Cup, an independent gaming competition and celebration organized by Gregory Love and hosted at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. 26 games were in attendance, including Thomas Brush’s Pinstripe, Nathanael Weiss’ Songbringer, and Arachnid Games’ Diluvion – among many other incredible indie game projects.

We prepared a 10 minute playable demo of CPT, featuring 3 levels introducing a player to the game. We ran the demo on our laptops accompanied by headphones and controllers, displaying the visuals on larger monitors for a more dynamic presentation. We had a banner display to help mark our game’s turf, and free flyers to hand out as a way of saying “thanks!” to all who checked out our booth.

It was thrilling to watch people play through the demo, observing real-time reactions to what they liked and what could use improvement. We enjoyed hearing player’s feedback and will definitely be including many of their ideas to further polish the CPT experience.

We also had a great time meeting fellow devs, enthusiasts, and members of the press. It was a very well run event making for a great experience. Looking forward to sharing CPT at more events in the near future. Stay tuned and best of luck to all the devs we met!
