When the news was first releases, I wasn’t just excited I was blown away. PAX Collaboratory is the brainchild of Luke Lancaster, PAX Australia Content Manager. It features designer with an unpublished tabletop game and they’re ready to unveil their Promethean labours to the world. PAX Collaboratory is a brand new space at PAX Australia dedicated to unreleased tabletop games. Paper Droids readers (and writers!) are smart, motivated, fun-loving individuals who can appreciate but also critically analyze geek culture as it embraces and rejects its female fans.I’m excited about at the PAX Collaboratory at this year’s PAX Australia Topics range from blockbuster movies to indie comics, from hardcore gaming to history geekery, with a healthy dash of literary criticism and fashion tips on the side – all from a female perspective. Our geeky categories include Art & Literature, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Science & Technology, and Style. We publish articles daily on a broad spectrum of topics in nerd culture, focusing on women’s issues and experiences. Paper Droids is a place where writers and readers can come together to geek out over their passions, support women in non-traditional or “geeky dude” roles, decry systems that far too often ignore or exclude female audiences, and learn about ladies who are making a difference every day in the world they love. It was founded in October 2011 by a group of publishing students who were dissatisfied by the lack of non-commercial, geeky outlets for women. Paper Droids is an online magazine dedicated to geeky girls. We still have a ways to go before we'll be ready to show things off in public, but here's a little SUPER-ROUGH, UNFINISHED, NOT PRODUCTION, glimpse at what we're going for at the moment. Choosing to do this later in our development schedule means that we'll have a lot more game to show when we get there and also that we won't have to interrupt development for a whole month to run the campaign.Īs far as where we are in the development process, we're using our time at Execution Labs to put together a vertical combat slice that will allow us to do some closed playtesting and make sure the card-based combat system is as balanced and fun as it needs to be. You can find more details about Execution Labs and the other teams with us in the pre-production program on their website.īeing accepted into the program has also prompted us to rethink our schedule and funding plans somewhat, meaning that we've decided to push back our crowdfunding campaign to this fall.
It's an intense program and we've had to hit the ground running, but we are both super excited to have been chosen and honoured to be working with the other amazing teams in our cohort, including teams from Romania and Slovenia. Well, mostly it means that we are getting help with securing funding and building Cardboard Utopia into a sustainable studio, as well as office space and access to mentors for the next three months. Specifically, as of Januwe are officially part of the Execution Labs accelerator program! We've had a lot of very exciting things happening, but we had to keep them secret until just now. First off I wanted to apologize for the lack of updates recently.
