We’ve gotten lots of feedback during PAX and one that really stood out was the desire to have a single player mode outside of the competitive multiplayer game.
So we started pumping out some single player goodies on the side while working on the main multiplayer game! :D
PAX! Last week was a big one – first time ever we showed a playable demo of My Giants to people outside of the team – better yet, we did it at PAX. With all the bugs and crashes and network problems, we managed to get the 2-on-2 game up-and-running and had a blast playing with everyone who came to our booth – kids and adults alike!
Check out some photos below, and with any luck, we’ll be at the next PAX again! :D
A nice local printing shop (Perfect Copy & Print) helped me got these nice posters printed quickly today. Awesome service – answered all my beginner questions about printing, sizing…etc. Nothing beats a nice local experience!
Without further ado, here are the posters you’ll see at our PAX Booth! Don’t forget we are at booth #6407! :D

What is PAX?
GAMES! Lots and lots of games. In fact, ALL types of games you can think of – console games, PC games, mobile games, tabletop games, toys, casual games…etc. PAX is a celebration of human lives – an event that asks attendees to answer this all important question – HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR FUN SERVED?
PAX is short for Penny Arcade Expo, an awesome festivals for gamers in Seattle (PAX Prime) during the summer, from Aug 31st – Sep 2nd this year. It was created by the authors of the uber popular Penny Arcade webcomic, because they wanted to a show that gave equal attention to console gamers, computer gamers, tabletop gamers, (and now, My Giants players!)
Why are we excited about PAX?
Because we will be there, showing you what we’ve got so far on My Giants! :)
What to expect?
Primarily, Domagoj and Brandon will show a work-in-progress playable demo of My Giants and answer all your burning questions about the game on the exhibition floor. It will be an early demo – rough around the edges (with placeholder art and crashes), but hopefully giving you an idea what the game is about. We will be on the 6th floor (booth number 6407) around the corner to the right from MoJang (of Minecraft’s fame).
So if you are going to PAX 2012, come say hi! We’ll be expecting you and listening to all your feedback on My Giants!
Where were we last Sunday? Seattle Indies Expo 2! First time people outside of Studio Pepwuper put their hands on My Giants. Talk about a nerve wracking experience! Good thing is, we survived to show you the pictures! :D

The third giant to appear in My Giants is of a different style… a ghostly, almost spiritual form of life. He might look a bit intimidating at first, but wait until you find out what he does in the game! :)
Patrick recorded the modeling of this character. This is part 1 (about 20 minutes long). Great How-to video if you are into character modeling.
Guess who’s ready for prime time TV? Nick the Robot! We’ve given him a test in the game and he performs fantastically both in the browser and on the iPad 2, so we are giving him even more screen time with this wallpaper. Enjoy! :)
