Update #17: Promoting the Book, App and Yes YoYo's

Posted on February 9

Hello all

So much has been happening with the "Yin the Master of YO!" book. I had to share all of the good news with those who've supported my concept here on Kickstarter.  Without your help and positive feedback I couldn't imagine where all this could go. Since successfully raising funds on Kickstarter, we've launched an app in the apple store based on the book and collaborated with YoYofactory to produce a limited edition Yin "Sureshot" yoyo. We also Launched our official Pixel Pirate Studio Website. Swing on over and see what has evolved from what originally was just a book concept. I am so grateful to each and every one of you for believing in my dreams and helping me spark the fuse.

Update #16: Yin the Master of YO! Game teaser

Posted on October 18, 2011

Hi all

   I know it's been a while, but I just wanted to keep my Kickstarter peeps in the loop. Thanks to your previous support, we were able to successfully print the YMY book, which was only the beginning. I'm not asking for any funding on this next project, only your feedback and support. I've just posted a teaser clip of our "Yin the Master of Yo" game app which will be making it's debut this holiday season. The video below still doesn't have all of the bells and whistles, but just enough to give you an inside peek. Take a look, leave some comments and spread the word. Once released, the app will be FREE (yep that's right FREE) to download to your iphone/ ipod touch and android. Enjoy!
