PAX East has selected Boston’s best up-and-coming studios to show their titles on the exhibition floor. Fire Hose Games, Dejobaan Games, MIT’s Gambit Game Lab as well as developers Keith Morgado and Marc ten Bosch will present their games to thousands of gamers on Friday, March 26 – Sunday, March 28 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston.

The Boston Indie Showcase was created to support start-ups that don’t normally have the means to demo at major shows.

“Boston welcomed us with open arms and we wanted to give a little of the love back. We knew there are some great companies in Boston that can’t normally take booth space, so the Showcase was born,” said Robert Khoo of Penny Arcade. “Our winners have put together a selection of titles that are fun and original; but most importantly they show what gamers with passion and dedication can do.”

In addition to the BIS winners, Boston game companies will be out in force at PAX East. Local stalwarts 2K, Games Universe, Harmonix, Muzzy Lane Software, Medaverse Studios and Turbine are exhibiting on the show floor. Meghan Rodberg from Turbine will speak on the “Community Managers: More than Forum Monkeys” panel, Ken Levine from Irrational Games is on the “Sequelitis Snake Oil: Quack Medicine for the Video Game Industry” session and Harmonix is hosting a roundtable titled “An awkward hour with Rock Band designers.”

I will be there representing the Adrenaline Vault, to bring you first hand coverage of the event.
