Why we exist
Simplified version:
We will spark a new fire within everyone through the platform of a Legendary company by bonding three Affinities:
1). An Affinity with each other
2). An Affinity with our work
3). An Affinity with everyone who comes into contact with anything we bring to life
Thus filling the gap in the way we create organizations, bring people together, and energize each other.
We will create the equivalent of a Three Michelin Star restaurant where we experiment, create in our workshop, and serve our customers with the absolute most incredible experiences.

Continued Progress on The Broken Bottle / Your Expectations
The GIF above is a short clip of some animation and page population testing (if you tap an image, the color / animated version fills the screen)
Progress:
Thank you all so much again for your support and patience. Over the past two weeks we resolved one of our biggest bugs (what we called "Page Blinking"). We are now finalizing the precision of the saving system. This will give you the freedom to close and return to the app, able to continue from where you left off.
After the final accuracy tweaks of the saving system we will play through the story internally to ensure the story choices you will make will align with your unique story endings and unique in-story-content.
Purpose and expectations:
As our very first product, the Broken Bottle will act as a proof of concept and opportunity to get your feedback to ensure that what’s currently "in the kitchen" will be served with the perfect flavors and presentations. That it will have the perfect amount of salt, sweetness, sauces, crunch, and a little pepper (Now I’m hungry).
Beta testers, as with other betas expect a few, what we call "polish features", to still be on their way when you play our closed beta.
Haven't signed up for the beta?

Sneak peek: female protagonist + ninja (what?!?)
Yep, you read it right. From the British backdrop of WWI we mentioned in our last newsletter, we leap back to the warring states period in feudal Japan starring our first first female protagonist.
Kat Lee, our lead Developmental and Copy Editor, is working hard on a tale about a young kunoichi (female ninja) caught between her loyalty to her sister, duty to the lord who raised them, and the magnetic pull of an enemy daimyo whose idealistic goals may grant her the life of freedom and peace she’s always wanted.As an actor combatant with Dueling Arts International, Kat’s a bit of a ninja herself. She hopes her theatrical fight experience, Japanese cultural knowledge and anime nerdiness will merge to create a story with a good balance of historical realism, emotional depth, and fantastical ninja abilities.
(Looks like an additional title is in the near future Kat ;) )
