I need your opinion!

As some of you may know, we're nearly finished with second episode of the Yoto 3D comic app and will be releasing it soon. This episode will feature tons of additional material, including LOTS more music from Celldweller thanks to Klayton and Jimmy at FiXT.

I've selected most of the tracks, but I need to make a decision on the final one and I want your help. Which do you prefer:

"Solid State Playmate" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZsqwqJ2c1g

or

"Awakening" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypXInTgWOqE

Let me know in the comments.

I'm back!

It has been sometime since I've been here. I've been busy pushing Yoto on numerous fronts. Since my time away, the Bane of Yoto novel has been published by the FiXT label and has won two literary awards (The New York Book Festival and the Hollywood Book Festival).

The Bane of Yoto app has also launched for iOS and has maintained a strong 5 star rating with over 280 ratings.

Yoto merchandise is now available from the FiXT store and includes scultpures, tshirts, PS3 themes and more.
