Our crew flew over to Portland to bring in our custom built arcade cabinets to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo for the very first time. As you’ll be able to see in our photos, we decided to mix up the layout for this Expo.
Here we are setting up the designated Behemoth area. Not a conventional booth setting.
We put on new artwork on the most recently made arcade cabinets (3rd generation cabs) since their debut at PAX Prime 2013 just two months ago.
New vinyl stickers were added to our arcade cabinets for the show.
Finally, the Super Soviet Missile Mastar arcade cabinet was put to a proper fan experience with the Daily High Score contest held for both October 5th and 6th at PRGE. Congrats to the winners!

Update (10/6/2013): We’re here in Portland this weekend for the Expo and we’ve just finished day 1! Day 2 is just starting. If you haven’t had a chance to visit our booth yet, please come by and say hello. On both Day 1 and Day 2 of PRGE, you have a chance to win some of our merchandise!
There are Daily High Score prizes for the Super Soviet Missile Mastar (SSMM) arcade cabinet. Prizes include the SSMM t-shirt, scarf and cat guard pins.
We’re also doing daily giveaways at our PRGE booth with Cat Guard Pins! So come find out how to get them.

It’s true! We’re heading back north again in just a couple weeks. On October 5th and October 6th, we’ll be hitting up Portland, Oregon and going to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo for the first time. A small team is flying up to the City of Roses and Voodoo Doughnuts next weekend to exhibit games in our unique, custom-built arcade cabinets. Find us in the Oregon Convention Center!
Play Castle Crashers on Intel’s new Bay Trail tablet using GestureWorks Gameplay
If you have ever wondered what Castle Crashers would feel like on a tablet, then you should definitely check out this great application called GestureWorks Gameplay. Gameplay software for Windows 8 lets gamers use, build, customize, and share Virtual Controllers for touch, which are overlaid on top of existing PC games, such as Castle Crashers Steam Edition.
Here’s a look at the upcoming tablet app, which comes out November 5, 2013:
You’ll be able to take Castle Crashers practically anywhere!
The video above shows a demo of the controller running on Castle Crashers using GestureWorks Gameplay. One of the best parts of this controller is that you’ll be able to design virtual buttons and make custom gestures as well. Sounds pretty good to us!
If it’s starting to sound good to you too, you don’t have to wait until November 5th to try GestureWorks Gameplay. You can sign up for their beta now and the beta is scheduled to start October 5, 2013. As an added incentive to getting a first look at this new application by Ideum, the next 1000 beta testers will get a free copy of GestureWorks Gameplay when it releases in November!
Another benefit of joining the beta is that all beta testers have a chance to be randomly selected for a free copy of Castle Crashers Steam Edition! Ideum and GestureWorks will be choosing 50 people, at random, to get a free Steam key to unlock our medieval action adventure!
Those who have signed up will receive emails inviting them into the Beta program starting on October 3rd. The giveaway will continue through October until 1,000 additional free copies of Gameplay are claimed.
Leave us a comment below and let us know what you think. Will you join the beta?
