Well it’s the last day of PaxWest! It’s been such a great (and exhausting) time. I’m sure I’ll do a while write up later, but it’s been a great first convention for Always Awake Games. I’m feeling good about my decision to get into this whole publishing thing.
I was originaly just hoping to get some highlight clips but the whole play-through was great. So here it is! youtu.be/kRYpZSDuCgo?...
