Infinite Scuba, a diving game that offers players a unique and relaxing experience of exploring real international dive sites, will be exhibiting at PAX with 7 additional game studios including Archive Entertainment, PlayEveryWare, Ludo Land, Escape Fuel, Stumbling Cat, Fat Loot Games, and Air Kingdoms, as well as the Washington Interactive Network.

CGF will offer game demonstrations at the Washington Interactive Network booth, 6th floor booth 6010 all four days of PAX.

“We’re jazzed to show the game at PAX Prime and SIX and bring an element of serenity and relaxation to the shows,” says Kathie Flood, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Cascade Game Foundry. “Visitors will have a chance to explore our dive sites like real divers do and dive as one of our 5 beautiful avatars, including that of Dr. Sylvia Earle, renowned diver, oceanographer and conservationist.”

To ensure that Infinite Scuba provides an authentic and realistic diving experience, CGF works closely with Dr. Sylvia Earle, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and founder of Mission Blue. Mission Blue is a non-profit that creates public awareness about critical ocean issues and inspires support for organizations, projects and scientific expeditions that make a positive difference for the ocean.  CGF donates $1.00 to Mission Blue for every game sold.

CGF also works with the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI®), and over 20 dive equipment manufacturers, such as SCUBAPRO®, Oceanic, and Body Glove to ensure the integrity of Infinite Scuba’s diving experience while raising awareness of critical ocean and marine life issues.

Infinite Scuba was a finalist in Game Connection America’s Selected Projects 2014 competition, a finalist in the 2013 Seattle Independent Game Competition, and the winner of the Best in DEMA Show 2012 award.

Legendary game studio 3D Realms and Danish game developer Interceptor Entertainment – developer behind the multi-award winning Rise of the Triad remake – is excited to bring their upcoming explosive Action RPG Bombshell to Seattle, Washington for PAX Prime. Attendees of PAX Prime will be met with a new demo of Bombshell, following its leading femme fatale Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison as she encounters an otherworldly threat hellbent on the Earth’s destruction.

The latest trailer for Bombshell pits its titular character against The Zeroth Guardian – towering twin-giants with ice powers, independently armed with a sword and a shield. The epic boss battle has multiple stages, requiring the use of Bombshell’s various offensive and defensive abilities in order to knock the sizable foe down a peg.

After tremendous praise for the first public demo of Bombshell from attendees at QuakeCon in Dallas, Texas in July, 3D Realms and Interceptor will host an updated hands-on demo of Bombshell with controller support for a classic twin-stick shooter playstyle. Fans at PAX Prime will also have opportunities to win various prizes, including the opportunity to win digital copies of the game itself. A full-sized scale replica of Bombshell’s cybernetic arm will be on display at 3D Realms’ booth (#6214).

Once a respected bomb technician in the Global Defense Force, Shelly Harrison donned the codename Bombshell after she failed to disarm an alien explosive that led to the loss of her entire squad and her right arm. Deemed responsible for the resulting casualties in what became known as “The Washington Incident”, Shelly was stripped of her rank but later approached by a private military contractor promising her a chance at redemption. Harnessing the alien technology responsible for the dramatic turn in her life, Shelly became Bombshell – a tough-as-nails mercenary-for-hire touting a powerful bionic arm and a fierce attitude.

Bombshell is a drop-dead-gorgeous Action RPG from the studios who brought you Rise of the Triad, Duke Nukem, Max Payne and Prey. As Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison players will traverse alien worlds in an Unreal-powered galactic adventure featuring fast-paced shooter gameplay in an isometric perspective. Deep role-playing elements, an arsenal of destructive alien weaponry, powerful combat skills and a robust tech-tree for out-of-this-world upgrades are at your disposal. Bombshell is slated to be available on Windows PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year.
