We had been keeping this a secret for a while and E3 was our debut party! Some of you may have already seen it at E3, but if you missed it, here’s more information about all the love that went into creating a custom arcade cabinet for Desert Child.

An added bonus was that the speakers had LED lights, which looked really cool when we mounted them inside of the marquee. The cabinet art overlays were done by artist Mike Shanks, who did an excellent job in creating the the overall aesthetic.

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it out to our booth at IndieCade to hang out with us, give us high fives! We really appreciate the continued support of Akupara Games and Desert Child.
