I have booked travel to Combo Breaker #CB2026.
I don't plan to run a booth or table this time, but I have applied for an All In Together side tournament for Mega Knockdown and may bring a setup to the Bring Your Own Console area. I'll bring some stickers and stuff too.

About 5 years ago we started looking for testers for the very early iterations of the turn based fighting game Mega Knockdown, and this project has come a long way since then--and we've still got a few surprises up our sleeve for next year. As a small thanks for following us, grab a Steam key.

While the Hard Drive Game Awards Presented by Call of Duty Black Ops 7 may now be over, the indie games we showcased will last forever (or until capitalism eats them whole).
Here's every game we were honored to show off. Go and wishlist them
