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

Over 200 backers!

Update #1 · May 3, 2012 · comment

We are off to a solid start to our Kickstarter project.  We already have over 200 backers in just the first few days of the project.  We are truly appreciative of your support.

Posted Video of a Dev Diary

We've added one of our recent developer diaries as a video on the front page of our project.  It shows off the current state of Storybricks as we have presented it to our Alpha testers.  You can also see it at http://youtu.be/k-JHQP4q5M8

Take a good look at it, because maybe you might be seeing it sooner than you think..  But, wait, that would be telling, wouldn't it?  I guess we should keep a few secrets for now.

New Interview About Storybricks on Kickstarter

BetaKit did an interview with Brian 'Psychochild' Green and Kelly Heckman about Storybricks, this Kickstarter project, and some of the challenges with the project.  Check it out for more information: http://betakit.com/2012/05/03/storybricks-taps-kickstarter-to-help-fund-its-game-storytelling-tool

Brian Writes About Kickstarter

Brian also wrote a post on his blog about the importance of this Kickstarter project to the future of Storybricks.  Go take a look at his post The defining moment of Storybricks.

Help Us Get the Word Out

We've been watching the social network sites, and we've seen you talking about Storybricks.  Let us give you all a hearty "thank you!" for sharing the news with others.  In this day and age of heavy advertising, it can be hard for a company to get the word out, especially a small company like us.  The word of a friend always carries more weight than any amount of traditional advertising.  Please continue to tell everyone you know how important you think Storybricks is and why they should support us.  We won't be able to reach our goal without your help! 

Again, thank you for your enthusiastic support.  It really helps us to see you talk about our work.  After so much effort, it is great to know that there are others who share our vision of what it means to put the role-playing back in computer RPGs!

Sincerely,

The Storybricks Team
