Vol. 1, Friday 8.23.19
Let’s get started with the top four things (why four? Well... who does four? It’s always 3, 5, or 10)
(1)
The Pivot
A few months ago we made a big decision, the Affinity Forge Team (Legendary’s first Realm) decided to launch The Broken Bottle, our first Immersive Digital Story, as a stand alone experience. This has empowered us to launch our first experience quicker and start building the core distribution platform for our Immersive Digital Stories which we plan to launch Q1 2020 with three stories. These experiences will be distributed on The Apple App Store and on Google Play. We intend for the Broken Bottle to be a beautifully crafted first version of the full collection we are creating.

Development: The Broken Bottle
The Broken Bottle is nearly complete! It has been a long journey for us. About three years! We were building this first App while we were building our team, amplifying our company vision, building relationships, finding ways to bootstrap what we’ve made, etc. It has been the project that supplemented the building of our team.
We are now testing internally on mobile. That’s right, we have an app that can actually be downloaded and accounts can be made! If you are interested in being among the first to be involved in testing our game, you can sign up for the exclusive beta here (expect link to expire ;) ).

Our First Trailer!
Who doesn’t want to see their logo have smoke roll behind it?
We are so thrilled to have a trailer for our game almost ready. We have the music, the voiceover (we want you all to see if you can guess who it is once we release it :) ), and the imagery. We have found someone with editing experience to help us smooth out some of the rough edges. We are fired up to share (I will post it on our Instagram)!
(4)
'Dope Tees!' (That's what the cool kids say right?)
We have 11 exclusive T-shirts left to sell for our local crowdfunding campaign (we decided to be different again and do the campaign ourselves). We have to sell all the shirts before printing as they will contain the names of those who supported us during the first chapter of the liftoff of this organization.
Take a look! (expect link to expire ;) ) If you have what it takes we would love to have the honor to etch your name in stone as one of the few supporters who were there at the beginning :)
Special thanks to our supporters who have helped us continue to grow to where we are today. We have Legendary plans for the future and will never stop charging towards our goal and having a blast creating and activating creative heroes along the way.
Bonus: Number of the week
16
We have 16 pieces of in game art, not including the user interface art. This first story has nearly 20 pieces of beautiful art crafted by our Creative Heroes Victoria Cosby and Anh Luu. We have been fortunate to have found some really talented animators to help us bring the incredible work to life.
