35 |||||||||| PAX West 2018 Roundup

The last time we exhibited in Seattle was back in 2015! Back then we had rendered hit-boxes, grey levels, and you sank into the floor when you crouched. Our return to PAX West has been long overdue so we came out swinging with our updated art style, multiple map tile sets, a pre-round practice range, gameplay improvements, and topped it all off with new weapons and equipment. We were also hosted at Red Bull Challenge Mode on Friday and Saturday evenings. Let’s take a look at how it all went down.

PAX West 2018

We're Back

The last time we had a booth at PAX West was in 2015! Crazy how long it’s been.

Setup

This wasn’t the first time we’d set up a booth! It was way easier than last time.

Glass

Our TV stands were topped with glass versions of both our logo and our publisher, Annapurna.

Ready to Play

The game booted right up and was ready to play. Obligatory side shot.

The Fans

We had tons of people remember us from 2015, back when we still had block-dudes. We’ve upgraded since then and were thrilled to have our longtime fans play again.

Towering Plans

We had our usual spectator displays up, but this time we had one for each team on opposite sides of the booth. One side would cheer in success, where the other would mourn their loss.

Focused

Rounds were intense, commonly running down to the wire with last second defuses.

Stuffed

Our line was so long we had to cap our own booth two hours before the show floor closed! The Enforcers gave us handy signs

Red Bull Challenge Mode

Red Bull Challenge Mode went on during PAX as well, our first sponsored appearance. iam8bit set up a sweet 56k Mart using art from the game! They included things that inspired Due Process, like a complete Judge Dredd Comic collection, Robocop playing on various CRT TVs, and a working Sega Saturn with a copy of Virtua Cop. We played matches against community members, streamers, and even Cloud 9!

Challenge Mode

Our first sponsored event! Red Bull hosted us, Cuphead, and Gang Beasts at Block 41 in Seattle.

Gang Process

There were all kinds of fun props setup throught the building. There was even an ARGUS themed Gang Beast!

Welcome to the 56K

iam8bit recreated the storefront section of our 56k Convenience Store tile set.

Virtua Cop

iam8bit even included a working Sega Saturn with a copy of Virtual Cop! It was a blast to the past for us.

Game Time

The event was basically a second PAX booth. Ten computers, two teams, tons of fun.

The Challenge

An Exhibition Match was held on Saturday evening. Streamers vs Developers. We won ;)

Shoutcasting

Jesse and Kevin shoutcast the Exhibition Match to a live audience.

Cloud 9

We had Topboy and Keeoh face off vs some of our community members!

Natural Habitat

After it was all over, Alex went back to being his usual self.

A Great Show

At the end of it all, our booths were a huge success thanks to Annapurna, Red Bull, and everyone who came by to Due Process at both venues. We got covered by people like Game Informer and Ars Technica, met a ton of streamers, and got to chat with Reddit and Discord community members in person. Thanks again to everyone who came out to play Due Process, we’ll see you all next time!

We had a new face with us this year. Zack, standing center, is our newest artist and has been working on character customization. More on that soon!
