While at PAX East 2020, in the Indie Megabooth no less, I encountered a fantasy sword fighting game that takes place solely in VR. That game being Until You Fall, which features fantastic graphics, interesting gameplay and I simply couldn't pass it by. Thankfully, the fine folks who were showing off the game. Jill Sciulli and Dave Bennett Schell,  were more than happy to let me try the game for myself. While doing so, I found myself being engaged with how well put together the game is. Not to mention that this is still in development and is available as an early access title. Afterward, Dave took some time to speak to me regarding Until You Fall and Schell Games' PAX East 2020 experience, the future of VR headsets and more.

While stumbling through the maze that is the Indie Megabooth at PAX West 2016 show host Chris ORegan discovered a booth that was staffed with people wearing construction safety hats and tool belts. At first Chris thought they were still building the booth, but it turns out they were dressed in this way as they were the developers of Project Highrise, a game about simulating the construction and management of a highrise building. Chris chats the developers about Project Highrise along with the many influences the developers used to construct it, no pun intended. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode116.mp3
