The chicken comes bearing great news – we’re already preparing for our next two trade shows (that’s right, TWO!), one show is Spain, the other show is LOCAL (!!!!), and both are just around the corner! Read along for the juicy deets, and see you soon in Spain or San Diego!
Barcelona Game Fest: October 10-12
First, we’re heading back to Barcelona! Following the legacy of Indie Dev Day, Barcelona Game Fest is the largest video game convention in Spain with a focus on connecting industry, innovation, and community in gaming. We’re stoked to be back and contribute to such a great event focused on uplifting indie developers!
From October 10-12, come visit us in the La Farga de l’Hospitaletat booth EXH 68 to play the new Castle Crashers: Painter Boss Paradise DLC and BEHEMOTH! To find the chicken on the expo floor, keep an eye out for the brightly painted backdrop and familiar games! This chicken can’t wait to flap over yonder, meet your smiling faces, and try out some new indie games!
TwitchCon: October 17-19
Visit your favorite big chicken dev team in the Indie Game Zone’s Booth #4725 to play Castle Crashers: Painter Boss Paradise and BEHEMOTH! Orrrr, take a break from the gaming and doodle Behemoth characters with Dan THE MAN Paladin at our drawing station!
