Fairlady Media at Raleigh’s Game On Event

Posted on August 31, 2011 in

August 29, 2011. Fairlady Media co-founders Connie and James Bossert were invited to demo Bust-A-Marble (for iPhone and iPad) at Monday night’s Raleigh Game On event. The event was held at The Hive above the Busy Bee in downtown Raleigh.

Raleigh Game On was a local event in which indie game developers united to show off their latest and greatest games. The local gaming community was invited to come check out the games, play them and decide who was the best in show. A variety of game platforms were represented, including PC, iOS, Android, WP7, Web, and Flash.

The list of indie developers and their games included:

Mighty Rabbit Studios – “Saturday Morning RPG” – Nostalgic Role Playing
Lab Rats Studio – “Muse” – Thriller (3rd person) Shooter
Lunar Workshop – “Digitanks” – Strategic Futuristic Tank War Sim
Galeforce Logic – “Atmospheric” – Ambient Music Experience
Spark Plug Games – “Aya Go” – Classic Board Game, “Codename: Taco” New Game Demo
Nakai Entertainment – “Ninja Hamster Rescue” – Cute Action
Fairlady Media – “Bust-A-Marble” – Color Match Puzzle
Raison d Etre Games – “Felix Lost in Time” – Physics Puzzle
Pangolin Games – “Annabelle” Puzzle Action Platformer
We Fiends – “Sushi Boy Thunder” Arcade Action Shooter

Bust-A-Marble was a big hit with the gamers at the event. Comments included “Wow, this is SO addictive!”, “I wish I had an iPhone!”, “Hang on, let me go get my girlfriend because she’s gonna love this game!”, and “Sorry I’m taking so long, I want to get a higher score!”

The winner of the show (by gamer votes) would walk away with the Ben G Russell Raleigh Game On trophy Cup. They will then be invited back to the next event to defend it against the other groups that will certainly have improved their games by then. After a very close vote, Bust-A-Marble came in second next to “Sushi Boy Thunder” by We Fiends. It was a great competition, and we’ll be ready to challenge the winners for the trophy next time!
