We took Isles & Tiles out for its first public showing this past weekend, at Game Republic's WX Games Weekend in Wakefield.
Apparently there were around 6000 people who visited over a two-day event, and we were delighted to have hundreds of folks play through the first scenario of Isles & Tiles. Heard lots of great feedback, made a bunch of new friends, and we certainly had a blast watching folks play the game and get into the nitty-gritty of buildings decks and designing islands!

We're particularly pleased with the super-chill soundtrack we've put together, but a big gaming convention isn't exactly the best place to enjoy a bit of relaxed ambient folk music. So instead we brought along our harpist -- one half of the harp/clarinet duo that's recorded every track -- and let people try out the game with a live-accompanied soundtrack.
You can get a sneak peek at that soundtrack by checking out the first teaser trailer, which shows off just the harp part of one track. We're keeping the clarinet under wraps until the demo comes out, but trust us -- it's gonna be gold.
