A couple of months back, we found out about Bungie Aerospace. This initiative to support and foster independent developers of social and mobile games came with an announcement for Harebrained Schemes' Crimson, which is now going by the name Crimson: Steam Pirates.
It's a free iPad title, set to release on September 1. With PAX right around the corner here, yes, it will be playable at the show -- booth #682. Steam Pirates is a turn-based strategy game set around steampunk pirates in the Caribbean. Further details about the fiction of this world can be found at the previous link.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

iPad: NO!
just sayin
Honestly, an iPad only release saddens me to no limits.
Bungie Aerospace is basically Steam for mobile devices. They're publishing indie games. Bungie's still making games, they're just not ready to announce the next one yet.
Ah well, maybe it'll be released later on other platforms? Seems perfect for xbla.
