Hey all you awesome Creatures!
Firstly, we just want to thank you all for your continued support of us and Circus Interstellar!
Without your support, CI wouldn’t be as cool as it is now. Looking back on the older version, we cant believe how much the game has changed, it is literally night and day.
Now when we look back at Circus Interstellar, we feel pretty proud of what we were able to accomplish.
So thank you all! 🙂
We are about finished with preparations for the upcoming Portland Retro Gaming Expo (only a few weeks away) and want to share with you some of the awesome things we have in store for our booth, so without further ado…
Supplying The Goods
With the Expo fast approaching, we’ve been in a constant scramble to ensure that our booth is as awesome and eye catching as we can possibly make it! While it’s been quite a blow to the ol’ bank account, we’re certain that you guys are gonna dig what we have in store! 😉
From t-shirts to comic books, the lineup of merch and goodies is looking tasty!
Here’s a list of what products to expect at our booth:
- 2 unique t-shirts (Prepare to Pie shirt and Cosmonaut Star shirt) with sizes ranging from medium to 2XL
- Cosmonaut Star stickers
- Metal P.R.I.C pins (now YOU too can be an official member of the Planetary Resource Importation Corporation!)
- Circus Interstellar: Awakening physical comic books
- Circus Interstellar game physical copies (including an actual game manual within!)
- Free coloring pages and party hats!
We gathered together some pictures of all of the items, check them out:
A Stellar Surprise
The party wouldn’t be complete without the ability to actually play Circus Interstellar at the booth, but we didn’t want to just have you play it on a tv with controllers. So we came up with something better…
With the help of our friend Kitkat54, we were able to put together an official Circus Interstellar arcade cabinet!!!
We are totally floored by how badass this is, the cab is literally our dreams become reality and playing CI on it is unbelievably cool!
We are so stoked to see expo goers playing on it and hope they find it as awesome as we do. 🙂
While we wait for the expo to arrive we will be streaming CI and other games from the cab to our Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/ettinsoft so be sure to hop into the chat to join into the arcade goodness!
Here’s some pictures of the cabinet:
A Special Thank You
Wanted to give a shoutout to the rad youtubers of the community that have included both my brother and I on many of their shows as well giving us shoutouts and showing support, without their help we would have had a hell of a time getting our name out there, so you guys totally rock! 😀

The Future Awaits
It cant be said enough,
we are so excited for this years expo!
With this being our first ever real in person event, we can’t wait to get things under way. We’re stoked to get to talk face to face with fans and other developers, sell goods, as well as see how people like our game!
Its going to be quite the epic experience! 😀
In the meantime, we plan on doing some Ettincasts and livestreams for CI. We’re actually trying to get a stream together where we can play CI remotely with some of the youtubers we mentioned above, that’d be cool as hell so hopefully that works out!
One other thing, when the expo is over we plan on making our merchandise available online for you all to have access to the goods. We are thinking we will either be making an Etsy page or making a storefront on Square, we’ll let you guys know which one we go with when we get to that point. So keep an eye out for that! 😉
When we return from the expo, we will begin work on Super Circus Interstellar.
We cant wait to show you what we have in store. 🙂

We hope to see more of you creatures in the discord. 🙂
