Daisho Staffer Monica (known as tamaringirl on the forums) was kind enough to put together a Daisho Con photobucket! You can find many photos taken by our photography team there, from Daisho Con '09 to Hope for Haiti.

Check it out here!

A couple of our staff members, Gary and Teng, recently took a class on flash game development at UWSP. They worked hard throughout the semester, and for a final project they made a draft of a Daisho Con platform game.

Click the link, and give it a go! (You'll need to click in the game once it has loaded. X is attack, and Z is jump. Use the arrow keys to move.)

Remember, this game is still being worked with, so you may still find the occasional bug here and there. Our house artist Roger is working with our two game programmers to upgrade the artwork, and adding more game levels is in the plans.

Great work, guys!

Daisho Con, Central Wisconsin's biggest Anime Convention, will be holding a unique, one-time-only fundraiser to help for the relief efforts in Haiti. Tune in to our special live broadcast on Friday, February 5th at 7:00 CST, and join in the fun as all your favorite Con personalities show up. Prizes, including commissions, artwork, books and DaishoCon 2010 Pre-registrations will be given away, as well as a few other incentives to get hosts to do funny things, so please help us as we raise funds for Haiti.

To tune into the live show, please go to www.daishocon.com, or go to www.ustream.tv/channel/daishocast to join in the live chat and discussion. A donation button will be placed on the Daisho Con website the day of the broadcast, and links will be added to chat quite often. Let's have a lot of fun, as well as raise some money for people who really need it now.

First of all, thanks to all of the congoers at Daisho Con 2009! We had 1076 total attendees at our conference this year! Our events were a blast for both congoers and staff, and we thank you all, artists, guests, volunteers, vendors, and attendees.
