Hey Sairento fans,

This is an open call for any one of you who would like the opportunity to represent us at a YouTube Space LA event on the 24th of August to demo Sairento VR.

As we are based in Singapore, it is impractical for us to make a trip to USA just for a few hours as you can imagine.

As such, we hope to reach out to our fans staying near or in LA (or willing to travel there) to help us out. We are looking to send up to 4 gals / guys.

You must be well versed in and be able to explain the various mechanics in Sairento to booth visitors - bonus points if you're able to demo wicked sick moves in the game as well!

We have in store some exclusive swag and a nominal monetary compensation for selected candidates!

Do drop us an email at info@mixedrealms.com if you're interested in representing us! Let us know the following :

- Your name and age
- Whether you live in LA
- A short write-up about yourself, a photo and why you'd love the chance to represent us at YouTube Space
- A link to some of your gameplay footage would be a plus!

Love,
The Sairento Team

This message is for our fans and for all you ninja wannabes who still cannot decide if you'd want to pick up Sairento VR.

Since our Early Access launch last December, our game has been priced at a modest $25, a cool 30% off our final release price of $35. Later this month, our early adopter period will end and the price of the game will be increased to $30 (15% off).

Since our debut, we've garnered a lot of love from gamers of all walks of life. Our fans who have been with us from Day One will fondly remember the unique "bullet dive" mechanic that came to define the Sairento experience. We launched with 3 locations and 2 enemy types.

Since then, we proceeded to enhance the experience with even more genre-defining mechanics - wall running, power slides, dismemberment. As of patch 0.3, we've brought in legendary relics and the skill tree to enhance and enable full customization of your ninja powers. We have a diverse array of firearms and projectile weapons to complete the experience - with the recent addition of the Razorwind bow. We've also introduced the basic implementation of procedural levels to ensure you have a fresh experience each time you play, and introduced the Robo Geisha, designed to hunt you down from a distance with their deadly fans or eviscerate you at close range with their spinning attacks.

Truth be told, we're just getting started.

Some people think that Sairento VR, despite being a cool, bad ass hack-and-slash cyber ninja simulator, is simply just another run of the mill wave/arena shooter. Allow us to debunk that opinion.

As of this post we are now moving into Phase Two of our production. During Phase One we were focused heavily on nailing the base gameplay mechanics and putting together the underlying system. Barring minor changes, we will now be switching gears to create more gameplay content - that means more diverse and unique levels, treacherous enemies, a deeper loot experience, and a stronger thread to tie it all up in the form of daily challenges and leaderboards.

We have in store a campaign mode that will introduce you the world and lore of Sairento. We will be supplementing that with an engaging end-game in the form of Operations, much alike an expanded version of what the game has right now. The scope of Operations will be much bigger, with narrative elements and choices to be made.

To top that off, Operations will be playable in co-op, so get a friend hyped as you prepare to fend off your enemies together!

Finally, we want you to know that by purchasing Sairento VR, you don't become just a statistic to us. We don't develop our game in a vacuum - do drop us a message on our discussion board; engage and talk to us on Steam. You'll find that we are a really responsive bunch (timezone differences aside!).

We're just a bunch of indie devs who love what we do, and we're on a mission to create the one true must-have ninja experience for VR. I hope you join us for the ride!
