The Roadhouse team had a great week at GDC meeting friends old and new and focusing on business development for our announced titles and a bunch of new opportunities.

The Roadhouse crew featured @JamesRHI, @Tarrnie, and @romanchukenator, supported by the guys from @acronymgames including @joebonka and @iclorox.

A lot of time was spent on the @InfiniteGamePub booth promoting MechWarrior Tactics behind closed doors to a cross section of games industry press and media. We’ll be posting the resulting video clips as soon as they become available.

Reaction so far? Extremely positive as echoed in this quote from http://www.ripten.com

“There are just some gaming terms that make my ears perk up. Tactics? Yup. Collectible? Most definitely.Mechs? Oh, hell yeah. Asynchronous play? Just take my money, already! As you can imagine, when I got news of MechWarrior Tactics, my wallet wept and ran for cover as I leaped for joy.”

Thanks Guys!

We’d also like to thank the team at @BabelMedia for their hospitality with the now traditional and exceptionally awesome ‘Real FPS Shooting’ event. GDC 2012 saw us heading across the San Francisco Bay to a shooting range in San Rafael. Despite winning the E3 2011 top shooter prize, @Tarrnie‘s focus must have been elsewhere as he lost narrowly to @JamesRHI (49 to 48) in the five round shoot-off.
