Earlier this month we showed Thugjacker and LUV Tank at a gallery space during the Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk, once again.

Here’s a walkthrough from out last show…

This time I managed to set up the night before.

 

A Sokay Play flyer in the Urban Noodle window.

 Some peeps checkin out LUV Tank. We used our projector this time since we got a feel for how the setup would be.

 

 

Here’s David (who worked on LUV Tank and is working on Donut Get! as an animator), his girlfriend, and a hippie chick from the gallery next door! haha

Me and David.

Fellow gallery artist Kevin Jackson did a portrait of me showing the Thugjacker.

Afterwards at Urban Noodle…
Suzze, Sinjin and Trek (who did music for LUV Tank). They were working down at the Hive Gallery that night.
Fun stuff and looking forward to doing it again!

Sokay Play 1 came and left quickly. Through the organization of an art show by my homie John “Alter Native,” I was able to show some games during the Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk last month. I had Thugjacker and LUV Tank on display. Here are some photos!

Some strangers giving the game a shot!

My Urban Noodle dinner on the table, along with some empty wine cups. haha!

Brian is legitimately excited to be playing LUV Tank. Haha!

Time to clean up! Rebekah starts taking down her stuff.

Chris and John discussing music theory, on the subject of Chris’ “Robot Music” blog posts

The galleries are calling it a night!

I’m grateful that I had a lot of friends show up and got the opportunity to discuss the games one on one with a lot of people. We’ve actually got another show coming up soon on December 8th! Same place, I’ll have the flyer ready soon.

Peace!

I’m showing Thugjacker and L.U.V. Tank during the Download Los Angeles Art Walk this week. A friend arranged getting a booth and I joined in, been scrambling to get things prepared!Sokay Play 1Looking forward to seeing the games out in front of people again! The stats say that lots of people play our games, but it’s always a different story seeing people experience them.

A Downtown Los Angeles WC ad wants to put us out of business! Nature is the largest competitor of the Video Game Industry.

Here are some folks crowding around Skulls of the Shogun. I didn’t get a chance to play it but will probably play it on Xbox 360 soon enough.

 

Here’s the StarDrone station, swingy game for PSN.

Deepak Fights Robots. I heard this described as “Bubble Bobble meets Bollywood.” Didn’t play but it looked fun. Looked like single room puzzles where you have to find the correct way to defeat or avoid evil robots.

The crew, David Rodriguez and Chris Rock. Minhua’s head in the bottom right corner, haha.

The kissing game. She tried hard to convince us to play and for me to affix metal diodes to my tongue with fixodent to play a cheesy racing game. Cute idea but… PASS!!

Game debate about “Ethics in Games,” apparently hosted by a few unethical greedy game designers, haha. Some interesting stuff came up but it was mostly just pushing agendas and no clear ideas were really communicating. A shame tbat some of these people are representing the industry.

David must be taking notes… nah, just drawing some shiet! haha

The next day, we were chilling and trying to play the game card game that plays like a broken version of Apples to Apples. Not fun but it can spur conversation. In this photo Gus gets harassed by “Talks in Circles” man.

Giving out Indiecade awards.

Time to Peace Out! Gus Amador, myself (Bryson Whiteman), Escape Goat and Soul Caster creator Ian Stocker, and his homie James!
