I have one thing to say. It's time for Schoolyard to go international. The time is upon us
to take Frankie, Kinko, Yamao, and the gang across the globe. English and it's impact is still a stable front. But when you have other
languages and cultures looking inside the store, it's time to let them through the door. So most Schoolyard products, and it's divisions
will be getting international editions/versions, respectfully.
Most of our products will cover various languages. Of course looking at who speaks what, the major
primary languages will definitely be covered. That's your Spanish, French, Japanese, etc. And to not isolate the rest of the human race, other
languages that they speak as well. This is a great way to finally bridge the gap of our stories and characters to enter into new readers abroad.
We already have interantional adjacent right now. From Imachibon, to Night Diamond. It's best to not only represent these characters from a visual
standpoint. But it's time to inject their vocal impact. This will give their distinct personalities an even more authentic flavor. So now you can
feel the words.
There will be an international website that will be just like how Ebie is for accessibility. Schoolyard
World will cover the rest of the planet that Schoolyard doesn't cover. So this will be more effective for the global marketplace. And yes, there are
international Schoolyard readers hiding about. So now is the time to rip the band-aid. The website will be available sometime later in the year. You
will get the same treatment as the original and Ebie sites. All the basics will be around. I know what you're thinking? Why not just add language features
to the main site. Well there's many reasons. The main site has to be effective for the western side of things. So other technical bottlenecks come into
play. Second this will close the gap on dedicating differnt styles of content for the world. So dedicating a different sector of things will make it a
smooth transition. This site will only be for the main content.
Schoolbrary, Icebox Arcade, Okra, and KFRX will be getting international additions on their sites. These sites
are huge utilities for Schoolyard. However, due to technical bottlenecks there maybe some adjustments to these sites as well. So that everything can continue
to be a smooth flow of content and interactivity. So it will be some hiccups, but everything will come together. This will be the final lap for the Schoolyard
platform. As SYBC continues to widen it's reach.
For other non-Schoolbrary storefronts, there will be international products there as well. So you will have options
that will be ready for whatever language you engage with. That also includes news, audio books, and other informative products that helps bring SYBC full circle
for the globe. New Social media accounts will be available as well, starting this Autumn to keep you up to date with Schoolyard. It's been a long time coming, and
this new addition will be a great part of the Schoolyard familiy.
