Week Two
Leipzig was a smash, and PAX was chucklicious. It's always great to get out there and actually meet the people we want to entertain. After all this waiting and biding of our time, it was amazing to actually watch people playing the game who hadn't ever tried it before.
I think it's safe to say that people loved it. We spent ages making sure that the control system was perfect so anyone picking up the controller would intuitively know how it worked on a basic level. With that working well, we just needed to educate folks about all the many unique abilities that mantel and The Promise Hand have.
Of course, since we were showing four-player co-op (cool, eh?) the people playing didn't get to see how the skills work in the versus multiplayer modes, but I think they got the idea.
