Arcade Royale Unveiled

We unveiled the cab yesterday night. Right now here's a quick before-after pics of the cab. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments. I got a lot of work-in-progress-pics during the build I'm hoping to share with people in the coming weeks.

Arcade Royale - Design sneak peek

So we've got the side-art and marquee files sent off to the printer. You didn't think we'd leave the cab sporting this ketchup red-mustard yellow look didja? :) 

We're aiming for a very retro 80s-ish look here. Here's a sneak peek...

  

The prints should be ready monday I've been told, and I'm expecting the glass pane on wednesday, the day of the show. This saturday is wood-shop day, and if all goes well we'll have a pretty spiffy cabinet on display next wednesday.

Fingers crossed!

[Quick update: we've got the prints, they're looking very nice, and I just got a call from the glass pane people, we'll have it tomorrow...]

Arcade Royale - Play-testing session footage

The Royale will be hosting great videogames. I'm happy to be able to show you a few videos from last saturday, when we had a play-testing session. I'll start off by saying I was really impressed with the high quality of all the games that will be showcased. In alphabetical order:

Commander, by Ephemere Games.

An action-oriented multiplayer tower defense. You can upgrade your defenses, and have to play an active role shooting at the enemies as well. I'm missing play-test footage of this, so I put up their official video for now.

Fuzzer, by Henk Boom.

Single/multiplayer isometric racing game. Shooting your opponents makes their car veer off course. 

Game Game Videogame, by Joachim Despland.

4 players armed with laser rifles try to get hold of a diamond. Once you get it, you score point by doing a little victory dance.

Pax Brittanica, by No Fun Games.

Four player real-time strategy game, you use your launch button to release waves of attack vessels.

Verteidiger, by Kenneth Backus

Verteidiger is a 4 player Defender-inspired game, where player share control of the game. Player one can move the cannon left, player 2 controls right movements, player 3 can launch missiles, and player 4 can detonate them.
