Dear fellow citizens!
We've had a pretty exciting and nonstop few weeks and we're happy to be able to have some time to go through all the fun events and happy news in this recap.
On June 9th the team assembled for the #SummerGameFest where American Arcadia’s official trailer was being shown to the public!
It was really special to be able to share and watch the event together and enjoy people's first reactions to the game across social media. But the fun was only beginning, because the next day part of the team flew to New York to attend The Tribeca Festival!
We previously mentioned in one of our blog posts, that American Arcadia was selected as part of the Tribeca 2022 Festival Games program. What a great reason to flee Arcadia’s dome and go on a mini adventure to the city that never sleeps!
We really enjoyed watching people trying to escape from Arcadia in our very first demo. The booth displayed some exclusive concept art that players loved. We were also featured in the Tribeca Spotlight at the Summer Game Fest with a documentary about the making of American Arcadia.
It was amazing to finally attend an in-person event after so long, being able to meet such talented developers like Night School Studio (Oxenfree). And the party only got better because our wonderful VO stars Cissy Jones and Krizia Bajos joined us for the occasion. We really want to thank the Tribeca organization for their amazing work and how well they treated us.
During that same weekend, we were also delighted to be featured in the Future Games Show with brand spanking new exclusive behind-the-scenes footage about the making of American Arcadia.
On our trip back home, we read the first previews from media outlets of American Arcadia’s demo and it's hard to put into words how happy they made us. Here's some excerpts below.
