Hi everyone,
This is Matt bringing you some news about PAX Prime, now that we are back in Montreal. As usual PAX was very intense and exciting, and it was a good event overall for Leap of Fate.
Here's our team, at the booth, before the show started.
For this event, we decided to go all out with cool features at the booth, to make it more fun.
The first such feature was a scoring contest that let players compete for cool prizes, sponsored by our good friends at Corsair gaming. This was a hit, as many gamers came back several times during the convention, sometimes with a friend or two. It was fun to see skilled players take a shot at LoF, sometimes with deadly efficiency. Good times! Here are the four big winners, mr.bastille on top with a fantastic 122 000 points! Congratz guys, and enjoy your shiny new Sabre laser mouse from Corsair!
The other nice touch was that we had a cosplayer dressed as a cyberpunk fortune teller. We made her a special tarot deck using the game's concept art, and she would read their future to all of those interested. Her costume was awesome and she did a fantastic job! For the non-initiated among you, the Deck of Fate is a magical tarot deck at the core of LoF; it's the artifact that the player needs to defeat. It was awesome to see it materialized and used on the fans. This was a real hit, and caused many smiles.
A lot of famous people attend PAX, sometimes anonymously, sometimes not so. We had our fair share of surprise visits, among others a project lead on Bungie's Destiny, one of the 3D modelers on the cult classic Diablo 2, and Kiwikid, a League of Legends pro-gamer from team Dignitas. This was very exciting for us!!
I am a Dignitas fanboy, what can I say ...
And to top it all off, we held a raffle for a Strafe gaming keyboard from Corsair among all who visited our booth. And the lucky winner is ... Mason McNulty !!!!! Congratulations Mason, we will contact you so you can give us a shipping address to send this to.
And last but not least, we want to offer a big THANK YOU to all of those who came to see us at the booth. You guys are the reason we make games, and we had a lot of fun seeing you play the Leap of Fate :-)
So that's it for the PAX update. Stay tuned for our next big content update on Steam around the 25th of September, which will include, among other things, Mukai, the third playable character.

Matt, and the Leap of Fate team
