Reflecting on PAX Australia

PAX Australia 2024

This year’s PAX Australia was nothing short of phenomenal! Our booth was bustling with excitement as passionate gamers from every corner came together to share their love for gaming. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with both new friends and familiar faces, all united by the thrill of exploration in our game, Treacherous Tides.

So, a massive and wonderful THANK YOU to all our friends, new and old, who came by the booth to check it out, play our game and all the stories and tales you shared.

We are blown away by not only how many games we got in - but just how many people came back to tell us they enjoyed it with friends after leaving PAX!

There are so many people we need to thank for this to happen and could never name them all! So thank you to everyone who has helped make this a reality, thank you to everyone who played, bought, listened, playtested or tried our Game, thank you to the endless fans, friends, fellow designers, family for the countless hours of hearing us talk about Treachery.

This weekend we saw...

• a player with 4 coins beat someone with 12.

• I saw a group of teenagers - choose pettiness over greed, and laugh the entire time.

• We had skulls go missing, many returned to us and enjoyed people asking about our PAX Treasure hunt... Next year, we will go bigger!

• I also watched as a pirate leader, handed down to us, the creators of this game, our most humble defeat yet (4 v 3 v 24).

• I was thrown into singing the Pokemon theme song. And caught up with so many people, played so many games and enjoyed a full on weekend.

• We even got to have a sneaky playtest of Treacherous Trails at PAX.
  

Now that PAX Australia has wrapped up, we’re diving headfirst into the next chapter of our journey. With the enthusiasm from this year’s event still fresh in our minds, we’re excited to shift gears and start brainstorming ideas for our next big project for 2025. While we don’t want to spoil any surprises just yet, we can promise that we’re committed to crafting experiences that cultivate the same joy and excitement players felt during PAX.

As we unpack our dreams and ideas, we’ll be focusing on enhancing gameplay features and building a world that our community can once again immerse themselves in. This includes taking feedback from players at the event and ensuring that their voices are heard as we embark on this new journey.

Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting quest, and let’s continue to make magic happen together in the gaming universe! We are looking at how we can bring all our wonderful ideas possible, to keep you treacherous!
