We have great pleasure in announcing an Animal Crossing: New Leaf event that will take place at ‪#‎PAXAus‬!

Dropbear Theatre - Saturday 20th July, 4:30pm – 5:30pm

Here is your chance to find out more about Animal Crossing: New Leaf, meet some fellow Animal Crossing fans and hear from the development team in a special Animal Crossing: New Leaf video presentation that will be shown during PAX Australia.

Remember to bring your Nintendo 3DS and Animal Crossing: New Leaf town to PAX!

You don't need to know anything else HOLY!

The mobile app has a lot of stuff, I guess? But yeah... I would have expected a totally concrete schedule and everything by now.


But now that I say that, I didn't see that Animal Crossing event anywhere on the app what the fuck :(

I'm going to spend half of PAX clearing out streetpasses, aren't I?

We definitely were not going to be there, until yesterday when things changed! Horize & Frag Labs are local laptop makers (about an hours drive from where I live) and they offered to showcase the game at their booth on their new range of laptops. Super generous offer and we leapt at the chance :D

Coincidentally (I swear, we really had no idea at the time) we just purchased a Horize laptop a little over a month ago for use as our portable demo machine and performance benchmark. We make sure the integrated GPU can run the game smooth on lower settings and the dedicated GPU can run the game on maximum settings 1080p 60.

If you're not running at 60fps it's not a true arcade experience!
Honestly, this has probably made me the most excited for the whole of PAX. Will you be showing it the whole weekend?
Gaz: I think I know where we're sitting all weekend. Hope you planned on bringing cushions and an esky.

Can I get a demo/beta? I swear I won't tell anyone
except all of GAF
.

It's not our booth so I can't make a guarantee but James Mckennay at Frag Labs is an awesome fellow and doing everything he can for us, so I'm hopeful we'll be running all weekend. I should really do something nice for that guy now that I think about it.

We're working hard on content that will be in our public pre-alpha release, and that will probably be tied to pre-orders to fund the expensive stuff we have ahead like voice acting. We have a bunch of content that's not quite ready for public showcase (won't be at AVCon or PAX) and we want to get that polished up for the public release so people have something new to get excited about.

Woo! Pay rise! 46c an hour!
Sweet, did I say I was charging board for you to crash next weekend?

Still, I'd be more than happy to be a genuine beta/playtester or what have you (not looking at getting some early access or whatever where feedback is optional... I genuinely want to test it for you guys). Twin-stick games, whilst I'm not necessarily good at them, I absolutely love to play :)

BTW If you're not spruiking your game the entire weekend, I'd love to hang out! Maybe see if any other ranchers are around as well ;)

The only bands I'm really interested in I've already seen so I'll probably give this one a miss. Seems to be a lot of emo bands I'm only vaguely familiar with :p

And me!

(where's the korean BBQ, BTW?)

I'm glad someone remembered to ask. I would have forgotten until it was time to meet :s
 
I haven't pre-ordered a PS4 despite really wanting one at launch (just never pulled my finger out).

If I want to pre-order one now with the best chance of actually getting on one release day (whenever that is), what's my best bet (online vs bricks and mortar, particular retail chain, etc.)?
To answer my own question (in case any other AusGAFers are thinking about getting a PS4 but haven't pre-ordered yet), both EB Games and JB Hifi are no longer guaranteeing you a console on launch day, even if you pre-order. I found a Dick Smith near me though (Broadway in Sydney) that hadn't taken any pre-orders and (so I was told) were expecting between 3 and 6 units at launch.

Saw Pacific Rim today.

It was disappointing
aside from the bickering scientists and Hannibal Chau
.
Me too.

It was alright. Pretty much what I expected with maybe a little too much bad character development. Could have done with a bit more robuts fighting monsters.

Thanks for that Shan. That's a pretty pathetic list, not one band I'm interested in seeing. More money to remain in my pocket then.
