We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Update #1 · Aug 3, 2012 · comment

Hello everyone! We're just getting started, and already things are going very well. We want to thank you all for stopping by, pledging your support, and helping us spread the word! Our development forums are up, and all our backers are invited to participate! The developers will be there, talking about what's going on behind the scenes in terms of actual coding. Our artists are there talking about various aspects of their work (which is a total mystery to us coders), and you'll be there, telling us what we can do to make Empires of Sorcery a better game for you! Be a part of discussions that will help shape Empires of Sorcery in Beta and beyond! Everyone is welcome to visit, but only Backers can join:
http://www.empiresofsorcerygame.com/forums/ 

You'll need your Kickstarter ID when you register, so we can make sure you are actually one of our backers. If you don't know your ID, go to Me in the upper right corner of the page, then click My Profile under My Account. Now look at the address bar of your browser. You'll see http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/ followed by your ID number (or vanity ID if you have one).

Thanks again for your support, and for sharing what we're doing with anyone who
might be interested.
