Cabin Boy
A game I built with teammate Ben Harper, shown and played at the XP Gaming conference in PEI, where it won the Community Choice award by attendee vote.
What it is
Cabin Boy is a game I made with my teammate Ben Harper: a hand-painted pirate adventure starring the little bandana-wearing kid in the key art above. We took it from idea to a playable build and brought it to the floor at the XP Gaming conference in PEI (#XP25), where attendees could sit down and actually play it.
The win
Cabin Boy won Community Choice at the conference, voted for by the people who came by the booth and played it. That’s the part I care about most: the award came from players, not a rubric. The feedback was good enough that we walked away itching to jump straight back into development.
What’s next
I’m reposting the game on my own itch.io so anyone can play it. More to come.
