DevLog #04 PAX EAST - Cheapo Edition

We missed grabbing a booth to showcase at Pax East this year, but we still had a presence!

Cocky Rooster Games attended PAX in affordable style with printed posters on our backs and business cards to stealthily distribute amongst any empty table space. Hopefully they caught some good eyes!

While there we were able to meet and talk with lots of game devs and share strats on how to improve our games and survive as indies. Of course, we couldn’t resist stopping by the likes of Pokemon and Final Fantasy as well, had to grab us some of them free Pokemon cards!

A huge shout out to CBO Games with CBO TD (Dark Themed Tower Defense), Vmmersion studios with Scarlet Defiance: The Wall Between Us (Romantic Visual Novel), Astral ClockTower Studio with Kristala (Cat Skyrim), Scalisco with Corgi’s Cozy Hike (Cozy 3D Platformer) for letting us peck your brains and try your demos!

We also had a chance to attend PAX’s 20th Anniversary Concert! The Videri String Quartet and the rest of the music team did an amazing job. Their arrangement of Donkey Kong was especially epic.
Comment who your favorite group/song was! (and to rank up this post hehehe)

For as much as we saw, we definitely still missed a ton. If you were able to attend, please let us know what your favorite game was! We’d love to check more of them out :)


And don’t forget to wishlist Fish Combat Arcade right here on Steam to get updates on our progress, and to encourage the starving artist team to eat on occasion.

Enjoy a precious glimpse into the epicenes that was PAX EAST 2024!!!


Larian Studios had an epic looking castle display and Ammonite Ship!



Not sure if the Squirrel here was mechanical or a person in a suit. Looked mechanical when they moved it, pretty neat



Pokemon went all out with the dancing Pikachus!



I'd be awesome to bring a tank someday



Nice view from PAX, but a not so nice cold bike ride back from PAX



Concerts!!
