Happy Thursday, Streamers!
Last weekend, I had the awesome opportunity to attend San Japan in San Antonio, TX. Most of my time was spent at a booth as part of a collaboration between the app development studio I work for and a new Pokémon TCG online retailer. I launched a super fun gacha card game, letting San Japan visitors take a shot at winning a few high-value Pokémon cards. By the last day, we had a few surprise winners (I tried my luck and failed XD).
Had to mask up, yo!
That backdrop attracted a lot of curious cosplayers.
One of the highlights for me was getting to chat with a bunch of indie game developers who were showcasing their latest creations at the event. It was such a blast, and now I'm totally pumped to look for more conventions to hit up next year.
