Day of the Devs 2016 Photos

I’m almost through all of my archived photos! Here we have the pictures from Day of the Devs 2016, an awesome free one-day show in San Francisco organized by DoubleFine and iam8bit. As I wrote about previously, Day of the Devs is like a PAX-lite, where we can playtest the game and meet a bunch […]

PAX 2018 Photo Gallery

I’m up to 2018 in my PAX picture gallery backlog clearance! I had to ask in the SpyParty Discord what we revealed at PAX 2018 because time has no meaning and I’d completely forgotten. It turns out it was the Teien venue, the blog post about which I would normally link here, but writing this […]

The New SpyParty Tutorial!

After years in Early-Access Beta, with nothing but a four-page manual to help you learn how to play, SpyParty finally has a fully interactive tutorial! I’m pretty proud of how it came out. The tutorial uses a mix of text and voice narration,1 and it tries to get as close as possible to how we train […]
