00:00Yeah, my name's Martin, this is my cousin Joy. It's our game by SporkTank. It's a studio
00:05and we're here to show it off at PAX as part of the AusIndie Showcase.
00:09Yeah, it's best described as a casual, word-based puzzle adventure game.
00:13It's very, very easygoing, like, should appeal to a lot of ages.
00:16The puzzles are not too difficult, but it should be a nice, cute story to keep you playing.
00:20The character's based around my late grandmother and it's a bit of a tribute to our relationship together.
00:25So we used to do word finds, play Scrabble, that kind of thing.
00:27The humour is very much our kind of humour. It's quite sarcastic, very Aussie kind of humour.
00:32Hi, I'm Doug.
00:33And I'm Justin.
00:34We're from Mean Games. We just created our new game that launched this year in June.
00:37I think we started creating it probably around October last year.
00:41And then it was probably six months of development and then, yeah.
00:44Three months of production. So it's been like a nine-month, full-term baby.
00:48It's so cool that we're in the showcase and we won it, so we're just really pumped to get it out in front of people.
00:55We're feeling confident because of that.
00:57For me, it's the first real exposure that I've had and the first time that a huge chunk of the public are going to play it.
01:03So I'm going to learn a lot this weekend and take it all in and have a good time.
01:06I think it's such an amazing atmosphere to be around.
01:10I'm just excited to meet people who are our demographic.
01:14I'm just excited to actually get to see all of the cool stuff that's around us that we're actually getting to be a part of.
01:20It's an honour to be here.
