PIGSquadders in a "streaming" setup play the The Night That Speaks on stage. They face forward towards a crowd, lit by orange lights and surrounded by jack o' lantern decorations, playing the game on a laptop in front of them. Behind them is a large projector screen which shows the audience what they're seeing while they play. The photo is from the PIGSquad Spooky Games Marathon 2019.

A snapshot of the Portland Retro Gaming Expo show floor - PIGSquad's booth has purple-clothed tables backed by purple PIGSquad walls. Numerous monitors, TVs, laptops, and table dressings are arranged on the tables, sharing multiple different games with expo goers playing on controllers and keyboards. Developers of the games sit behind the booths to chat with attendees and other devs.
Backed by purple PIGSquad walls, volunteers pose for the camera, one holding a big pink light-up CubePig. Some volunteers are masked, some are not. Everyone is wearing 2023's blue PRGE lanyard.
It's showcase season, and our two highlight events are coming up! We just opened submissions for our booth at @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social - if you have something to share, apply before 9/19 to play your game with tons of rad devs and game fans in October!

Game developers in Portland/PIGSquad playing games and using Wacom tablets at a past showcase. We would host many events at the Wacom Experience Center in NW Portland when it was still open, and it was a great event space with nice lighting, cool furniture, and tablets galore! Developers in the photo are wearing kn95 masks.
A photo of an office desktop. The new Wacom Cintiq 16 drawing tablet is in the center. A hand is drawing a smiling character inspired by a morning star. The desk is adorned with a multi-pastel-colored keyboard, anime desk mat, coffee cup with a cat, and various colored cups holding pens and plants. The Wacom logo is in the corner if the image.
PS If you're local, we're hosting an optional "Hand Drawn" competition & giveaway for the Parody Jam, where the winner gets a new Wacom tablet! If you're interested, check out the rules on the jam page and reach out ~

There's still time to jam out something great 😍
The Summer Slow Jams "Parody" banner, featuring knock-off characters from popular games. A burst of characters are running out from a TV screen on a rainbow path, as CubePig and Jamwolf look on. Characters include a "Cloud Strife" with a very long sword, strangely shaped tetromino, a semicolon item block, flying milk saucer, "Socker" walking on a ball, long mushroom man in a vest, crowned turtle with faucets on its shoulders, fighting character with tie around his head, and "Jet Set Radio" painter on a scooter. The console running these games is a "Pigtendo Super Indiecom" with a "1000-in-1" cart plugged in.
The Parody Jam is off to the races with the creative theme "Cheat Codes!" We're stoked to see everyone's updates and to play everyone's games in a couple weeks!
