Usagi Yojimbo: Way of the Ronin is a new game for Smartphones, tablets, and, later, for desktops that will be coming out later this year from HappyGiant.com. I posted an image of the postcard promotion onto my and the Dojo Facebook pages. Someone please post it here.

The postcard will be given away at Comic-con, and there will be a video of the game. Not going or can't wait for the con? I will post a link to the video in a couple of days.

That should help heh. I wish the game well, and hope it is good. Do you know where the promo postcard will be given away at San Diego?

They will be at my signing at the Dark Horse booth Friday morning, and there will be a stack at my own booth throughout the con or until they are all given away. I will withhold a bunch for Dojo members.

Hi this is Mike from HappyGiant and we are so very excited about Usagi and this game! We are big fans like you, and we want your input at this fairly early stage of the project. We will slowly reveal things as we go and we look forward to hearing from you all. See you at San Diego if you are going! Watch for the trailer being posted today as well on Youtube!

Mike

p.s. We will also have a very limited supply of t-shirts we will be giving away at the Dark Horse booth on Friday at 10! First come first serve, but I am sure we will make more so don't fret if you aren't coming!

I should have known you would find the game video before I could post it, Steve. I went hiking this morning, and returned just a short time ago (even saw a snake!).

Michael Levine posted a link to it on the Dojo Facebook page this morning.....

You seem to be seeing a lot of snakes over the past couple weeks....

Considering the number of venomous ones out there in CA, I would be suffering from a severe case of the hebi-jeebies!

Good one!

This is the season for snakes out here in California. I just keep telling myself, "They're more scared of me, than I am of them." I never believe it, though.

*ouff!* I'm so glad, I finally made the step to buy a smartphone, this year... :lol:

And it's good, that the game can be played on android!

Greetings,
Jens
