Eh, Yo! This week we speak with Arcade Heroes again. We have Adam the owner of Arcade Heroes arcade news website and Arcade Galactic in Utah. Arcade Heroes is my favorite source for news about what's coming out for new arcade games. Arcade Heroes went to IAAPA 2023 and this is a show that is tough for me to make it out to and is one of the biggest shows of the year for the amusement space. We spoke with Arcade Heroes about what IAAPA is about and how to stand out as a smaller developer. IAAPA is pricey for a small business to get a booth so Arcade Heroes gave us some tips on how to get into the show for less, how to stand out as an indie arcade developer, and where in the convention you want to be located. Arcade Heroes is a great place to find out what is going on in the arcade space from someone who runs an arcade, If that interests you go check out Adams's blog.
