I'm going to Anime Expo 2011 to advertise Aching Dreams 2. I was thinking about putting out an Aching Dreams 2 offline cd that people could physically purchase, but as I'm satisfied with how online sales are going, I honestly can't afford to put it out on a disc. It was a mistake to offer it in the first place. I apologize and I'll make it clear: Aching Dreams and its sequels will only be sold on a digital format.
So Anime Expo is in Los Angeles, California. It's a business trip. Kinda. I'll be promoting AD2 by handing out flyers and at the same time selling art prints of popular characters (not AD), like this picture of Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII. I'll be in the Artist Alley, where it's a bunch of people that sell art prints, or stupid cute things like stickers or anime pins. I'll be drawing up about 10 different art pieces to sell, they go for about $5 paper size, 10$ for small poster size. I'll try not to make them too embarrassing because I do have to run to office depot to print these out. As much as everyone here loves Taiyo, do any of you really want to hang her up on your wall? It's a real question, respond please.
But while making zombie butt kicking drawings is really fun, the main reason I'm there is to promote AD2S by passing out flyers. I'm testing the waters, and really wondering if anime conventions are a good place to find customers for this game.
So it's about a month's diversion until I get back on track with finishing up on AD2S and AD3. I know right now's a lot of bitching, "Where's the update!?", but I don't want to rush things. I'd rather take my time and release something that we're all happy with. Everyone was pretty happy with SanzaXFrei, so I'm hoping to get a similar result with Catherine+CarmenXJeanne. Anyone coming to Anime Expo?
