SPEAKERS

11:15 AM
Artist Steve Thomas
Steve has done a lot of incredible art including a set of arcade themed propaganda style posters and this year's CA Extreme shirt.
Take a look:  https://www.stevethomasart.com/propaganda-style
He'll discuss his motivations and process, and may even create something new along the way.
He will take you through an arcade-inspired propaganda-style poster from completed sketch to final image working on the computer in Illustrator and Photoshop, and hopefully share some tips and tricks that others may not have considered when designing digitally.
The result of that effort is available here:   https://www.stevethomasart.com/product-page/moon-patrol-matchbook

-Major Havoc - The PROMISED END:  In the works for over 3 years, the Major Havoc - THE PROMISED END project is now dangerously close to completion!  The team behind this amazing project is honored to share the current status for the project.  Learn about what this game is and why this update is so cool (and very much sanctioned with input by the game's original programmer, Owen Rubin), who all is making it happen along with detailed updates on the current progress and release plans (including demonstrations of the updated levels and the actual PROMISED END on a dedicated and original Major Havoc upright video game). This is a game that can be played on both HBMAME and on an original Modified Major Havoc PCB, so come learn a bit and get excited for THE PROMISED END!

Thanks to everyone for making this happen this year!  I know it was a lot of work, but it is appreciated!  I missed some of the earlier live stream presentations, but was able to catch up last night and this morning. Great videos! I always seem to be so busy I end up missing most of the seminars when I am there in person-although I've ought some great one's over the years like the history of Exidy, How to Service XY monitors, Pinball Tips, etc.  Any plans to film and post future CAX seminars after CAX next year too?

Anyway, hope to see you all next year in person!
