To get the games translated we need people who speak the target language and who want to make a translation. You wouldn't happen to be volunteering to make a Korean translation, would you?

Well I don't speak Korean very well, but I can take a crack at it. I'll see if I can translate the tutorial of Star Traders as a test. The good thing is that if I work on translating it I can get my fiance to check everything since she's a native speaker. Don't hold your breath because my Korean is.... sub-par, but I'll take a shot at it.

With the next goal; Epic Platform Pack, we will deliver Heroes of Steel to your Android, to the Apple App Store (iPad, iPhone, and iPhone touch) as well as to your OUYA. I think this is going to be awesome !!! we GOT to make this goal !!! plus it opens up the door later for support of..."we will be in a strong position to expand to additional platforms, including the Windows, Mac OS, Linux and even onto HTML 5 in the web browser." of course I want the next stretch goal too, for the extra characters it will add  |

Thanks to everyone for the support. We are really excited to have crossed the first stretch goal and now just $1,400 away from the next.
Thanks to all our new backers and to those who are raising their pledge amount to help us close the gap. The Character Expansion pack and 4 new characters are just around the corner and I am working on some character concept sketches.
Achieving the Epic Platform Pack would be a major event for Trese Brothers as it could have a massively positive impact for all of our games. We'll need everyone's help to get there, so please keep sharing our project with your friends and followers!
Thanks again! And huzzah for the node map!

The cost of new development software, building tools, test devices, licenses, runtime engines and distribution memberships add up quickly.
We were able to build iPhone / iPad Star Traders for under $6K but that was just one game and platform. It looks like we might *just* recoup the cost this year ... break-even point for iST is projected to be fourth quarter 2013 -- and that is assuming we pay the developers $0.00 per hour.
That's why we need the KickStarter funds. It's not greed -- it's business.

We've just posted another big update on the KickStarter page where you can check out and read about many of the first monsters that have been added to the world of Steel.

Since everyone was asking about how to pronounce Trese, "orcen" is pronounced "or-cin"

Just read the post & I think the monsters look great !! can't wait to be able to kill some of them... ( hope they don't kill me first Lol ) A little over $1,000 for the 4 new characters, so will get to see some more great artwork. Yay !! We REALLY need to get to the Epic Platform Pack goal. Have both Android & iOS will be a major plus & help for all the TB games. Plus down the road being able to go into PCs would be so incredible. Cory & Andrew have done an awesome job of supporting us & the games we love to play. Now is the time to show our support for them and the work that they do !!! Everyone needs to do what they can to make this happen... Thanks to everyone for all that they have done so far... If we keep up the good work then Cory & Andrew will be able to keep up there good work too |

nemo - you rock! Thanks for the upgrade! You've hit it on the head -- its a very symbiotic relationship. We need more to give more! I'm dying to see us cross the Character Expansion line but my heart is set on Epic Platform Pack because I know it has the power to transform us!

That was really nice. And here you did the marketing thing just right.  |
