This has to have been my favorite PAX East! 🐝🔥

Thank you to all the developers who showcased their wonderful games @normalhorsegames.bsky.social | @nthcircle.bsky.social | @respite-dev.bsky.social | @hypersect.com Be sure to wishlist and follow them 🔥♥️

Our first @officialpax.bsky.social was amazing! So thankful we got to demo with @bostongamedev.bsky.social, @hypersect.com, @nthcircle.bsky.social, and @respite-dev.bsky.social! They’re some of the best people (with the coolest games).

We have two new swag items for @officialpax.bsky.social! First a magnet exclusive to this year’s theme: PAX Land! It’s all about old school theme parks, so Eschus enjoying some delicious demon cotton candy of course. And we have a new pin to brag to all your friends that you beat the event demo!

Look at all these exclusive @bostongamedev.bsky.social Pax East Buttons you can only claim at the Boston Game Dev Booth 👀♥️ Be sure to visit us! It's gonna be a wild weekend!!

That's right, BGD will be on the show floor at #PAXEast in booth 13085! In addition to these glorious pins, you can also play these great locally made games: Of the Devil @nthcircle.bsky.social Never’s End @hypersect.com Nocternum @normalhorsegames.bsky.social Wilderbard @respite-dev.bsky.social

Hay! We’re just a couple of normal horses working on our first game, Nocternum. Seemingly anything but normal, Nocternum puts you in the shoes of a child suddenly awoken as the prophesized hero, tasked to save a broken world overrun by bloodthirsty demons. Follow us as we make this game a reality!
