Step 1: Planning
As it is said, “poor planning leads to poor performance.” Therefore, we had to come up with a way for making our gaming booth look magical enough to attract people. We started with the basics. Of course you have the staples for any presentation of a game: table, something to make people comfortable, monitors, controllers, some provisions and marketing materials.

Step 2: Chaos Ensues
We started with the plan (see above). Now we had to figure out how to actually make our drawing come to life. But we are developers and seemingly smart people, we can figure this out - right? There’s that cord for the mouse, the one for the monitor, then there’s that cord that other cords plug into. Long story short, we needed lots of cords. Next came inventory. We started by looking at our own systems and seeing what we could cannibalize from them to take to the convention. Once we found out what we had, we had to determine what we still needed...so we made a list. We also wanted people to be able to see Lame & Cheesy really well, so that puny monitor just wasn’t going to cut it.


Step 3: Order Stuff
The next thing to do was order everything on said list. We aren’t really gamers, so we had to order some controllers… We needed polos and lab coats so we could cosplay with the rest of the attendees. We needed to rep our studio so we also designed these super sweet iron on prints to paste on our gear. Just to make extra sure everyone knew who we were, we designed and ordered these vibrant, in-your-face banners. Pretty cuwl huh?

Step 4: Soft Setup
Now that we had everything we needed it was time to do a muck-up - I mean, a mock-up of the booth. As the picture to the left clearly shows, it looks just like the picture from step 1… Everything is going according to plan.

Now, all we need is a Kyle and vwa-lah! We have a preliminary game plan for MomoCon.

Step 5: Make It Professional-ish
The last step was to do it IRL.

Of course, there is the loading up of vehicles and driving to the Georgia World Congress Center, but who wants to hear about that?

Honestly, there’s way more detail involved with planning for MomoCon. However, that article would be entirely too long to read, and let’s face it, you’d probably lose interest. Therefore, I will stop with this. We had an amazing time planning, preparing and going to MomoCon. All joking aside, it was an invaluable experience worth every bit of money and hardship paid. Thank you to everyone that came to check us out. The people we met had a lot of positive and constructive feedback to offer and their facial expressions told us a lot of what we wanted to hear. You will hear more about our experience at MomoCon in a couple of weeks, so be on the lookout for that post. Until then, thanks for reading.

It’s been decided - Lame & Cheesy will be the first game ever officially showcased, and eventually released, by our studio. More specifically, it’s the game that we have chosen to take to MomoCon 2018. We’ve been looking for the game with the right flavor, flair and fan-fair. There are a number of projects that we’ve been humming and hawing about, but ultimately, Lame & Cheesy beat out the other projects to be the victor.

We’re sure you’re all wondering why we choose Lame & Cheesy over all the other options? You’re not? Well we’ll tell you anyway. Here’s a fun fact: our lead programmer has always had a hankering for puzzle games. As an homage to him, the first game to make the cut is the one that displays his puzzle and problem solving prowess.

Also, as you may know by now, we are a small studio. We have very limited time, resources, and brain power. We have many large scale projects that might (maybe) take us to AAA label status, but that level of commitment isn’t possible with our current positioning. Lame & Cheesy is a game that offers a lot more for a little less. It’s a game we can make well, in a short amount of time and with the resources we have available to us. In business, it’s important to know when to stretch yourself and when you limits have been reached. As the old adage goes, Lame & Cheesy “fits just right.”

Lame & Cheesy is a dynamic game driven by the desire to escape one's prison. Two mice must work together to solve various obstacles in order to obtain their freedom. The game is innovative in the sense that one player can play with a friend and two mice or control both mice simultaneously. The game offers enough complexity and modularity to keep the game interesting and expanding for as long as the demand for the product is high.

We took the game to Siege in October 2017, and the game was a major hit with the players there. To date, no one has been able to beat the 5 level demo pack within the timeframe offered. Will you all be the first? We’ll see you there.
