Konas Korner Opening a Live Stream for AveryCloseCall’s PAX Party
Game devs work their asses off at PAX and two years ago, in recognition of that, Avery Alix started throwing industry parties as a way to say “thanks” to his fellow industry members for all their hard work. The party has been called the game industry event of the year by more than a few noted partiers and this year we’re really excited to be able to involve the larger gaming community.
Unfortunately, we can’t fit everyone in the room. But we still want to let everyone ask questions and get to know some of the people who work in games every day and thanks to Konas Korner you can watch it at http://www.twitch.tv/averyclosecall.
Avery has hosted an awesome PAX Prime party for a few years. This party has served as a chance for industry people to unwind, and get to know each other before the awesomeness that is PAX. This year, we want the community to be there. Unfortunately we don’t have a venue large enough to open the doors to the public (this year at least 
, so we are doing the next best thing: a live stream. This is a chance to ask questions of a wide variety of pro gamers, developers, designers, artists, project managers, and many others. You can find a video of the event from last year at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqNFLC79Jvc
Ever wondered when pro gramers actually sleep? What sort of caffeine developers imbibe to stay awake? Or why your favorite game is always so laggy? Jump on the live stream and we’ll find an industry expert to answer.
As an added bonus, you’ll see the people answering your questions throughout PAX. Feel free to come up to us and say hi. PAX is a great chance for us to meet the people who play our games, and we want to use the stream to make it easier for you to meet us.
We have an indiegogo page up here: http://www.indiegogo.com/paxpart where we are hoping to get enough funding to pay for the livestream. Donations from attendees have pretty much paid for the party itself, and now we are reaching out the community so that Avery doesn’t have to pay out of pocket for the stream.
