AFTER a whirlwind trip around the nation Fitzgerald Street’s independent games developer SK Games is wrapping up its tour at home with an exhibition at Kurb Gallery.
The quirky microbusiness develops unique arcade games designed for easy pub play with buddies, mounting them in ramshackle cabinets with a post-apocalyptic DIY aesthetic (milk crates loom large in the cabinet designs).
While on tour they made it into the big-time PAX convention, where they showed off their games at surrounding venues to conventioners looking to relax with a few rounds of their unconventional games like Cog and Balls.
“Business development-wise the tour’s been pretty important,” SK Games owner Louis Roots says.
“The feedback we’ve got from people, watching people play [the games], that’s been helpful.
“The tour’s a big punctuation mark on the end of our first year.
“Where we go from here, how do we make some money? That’ll be interesting.”
Their unusual cabinets are free to play at Kurb Gallery from December 6 to 11.
