#indypopcon2017

Whew! The Cattails team is back from exhibiting the game for the first time ever at Indy PopCon.

The entire weekend was incredible. We set up two demo computers for convention attendees to try out Cattails, and they stayed full pretty much all the time. Feedback was generally very positive, which was super encouraging to hear.

We handed out 500 flyers, 350 cat charms, and spoke with nearly a thousand people over the duration of the convention. If you came up to our booth and said hello, thanks so much for dropping by! We met so many amazing folks at PopCon and wanted to express our appreciation that you guys showed so much interest in our project.

One super neat highlight of our trip was that our booth was located just a few feet away from the “free autograph stage” where a number of prominent YouTubers were hosting meet-and-greets. This drew an enormous amount of foot traffic past the Cattails booth, which was great!

(Also, we were secretly nerding out because we’re huge fans of the YouTube collective Normal Boots, and all those guys were there!! You can see @projared and @peanutbuttergamer up on the stage in the picture above :O )

Now we’re back home, well rested, and ready to dive back into developing Cattails! 

If you didn’t get a chance to see us this year, don’t worry! We loved Indy PopCon so much that we’re planning to attend next year as well.

Until next time, stay awesome!

It was very nice to get to meet Ethan, Girbeagly, and OGchan today! Ethan is a really cool kid and I love the work that he does and the inspiration he provides to his community. He and the rest of his friends remind me to take the time to have some fun for myself, even if it’s just giggling at some crazy youtubers!

At 32 years old I’m finally getting to do the things I’ve always wanted. Indy popcon is my FIRST convention, and so far, it’s been awesome.
