PAX West Recap! 

Brought to you by Chris Fitzgerald, Project Manager at Bloom

It’s been a week since we got back from PAX West 2019, and I am finally recovered enough to write about our experience for any Bloom fans who were not able to attend (and maybe some BTS fun stuff for those who were.) This was only our second PAX ever after PAX East earlier this year, but I still feel comfortable saying it was our best event ever. We took some steps to make our lives a bit easier this time around, including ordering equipment from the venue and getting some local friends to help us work the booth. The Werthers candies still made an appearance.

Let’s get to the highlights:

#InstagranYourself photobooth

A new idea we brought with us this time was having a photobooth setup with costumes for people to dress up as an old person, in exchange for a Later Daters pin. People were all about it the role playing, and not just for the free goods. Our favourite part was how many people dressed up over their cosplay outfits – cosplay on cosplay! Here are some honorable mentions for people who were really the living, breathing embodiment of the Later Daters vibe.

Seattle is Thrift Store Mecca ft. the Switch Rocker

In Boston, we had to hit a few stores to find what we liked to decorate our booth in senior citizen-style. In Seattle, however, we found the largest Goodwill I had ever seen in my life. We didn’t take any time at all snatching up furniture, costumes and a curtain backdrop for the photobooth. Our favourite find was a white wooden rocking chair that we dubbed our “Switch Rocker.” Our only regret was that we couldn’t take it home with us, but a lovely Seattle local got to take it home to enjoy.

Great Big Table Read

Another new idea we came up with was hosting the “Great Big Table Read” panel. We partnered up with fellow visual novel games Monster Prom, Boyfriend Dungeon, Arcade Spirits, and The Window Box to get a group of stellar voice actors to read out the various characters. The voice actors we had really knocked it out of the park, and brought Later Daters to life. We are hoping to post a full video of the event in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, here is a very bad and also not good video I took at the panel during the read for Later Daters.

Meeting Later Daters of All Ages!

People young and old came to play Later Daters, and we really loved seeing the game resonate with a diverse audience. We especially loved meeting the subject matter experts who were able to play the game.

General Later Daters love

The most heartwarming part of the event is that after the first few days, more and more people stopping by the booth told us they heard about us from another attendee or at another panel event. It certainly seems Seattle has a healthy appetite for quirky and queer-friendly dating sims. We even got a shout out on Twitter from the PAX keynote speaker Gary Whitta, who partook in our photobooth and that resulted in this gem.

We loved Seattle, and the PAX West gaming audience. We were so lucky to be a part of the Indie Megabooth once more, and we can’t wait to go back.
