Hothead Games, the studio that brought you Deathspank, has been showing off their new IP at PAX recently. Swarm is a cute, humorous platformer with a cool art style in which you control up to 50 swarmlings at once – and occasionally sacrifices need to be made for the good of the many.
Penny Arcade Expo has officially opened the PAX 10 Indie Game competition to submissions in the same time frame that IndieCade has opened their second annual indie game competition.
Yesterday Penny Arcade announced The PAX 10, a showcase of independent games that will be displayed as part of the upcoming Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) August 29-31, 2008 in cooperation with the DigiPen Institute of Technology.
They are looking for ten independent developers that are interested in seeing their games viewed by attendees, media and publishers at the Expo. A panel of 50 industry experts, including Penny Arcade’s own Gabe and Tycho, will be selecting the ten submissions that they consider to be the best based on gameplay and “fun factor.” Of the ten, one will be chosen “Audience Choice Award” by attendees.
