Official Forums: Update

We’d like to apologize to all of our fans for the lack of official forums. We know you would have loved to have a place to hang out and talk about your love for our game on its release date, and apologize that even a month after release the forum is not in place. Unfortunately, we’ve run into some problems with the initial contractor and were forced to hire another so that we can get the new message boards up in a timely manner. When will this be? We are aiming to launch our official forums in the last week of July and next week we will try to post some work in progress materials. We promise to keep you updated on our progress on the forums, and we appreciate your patience.
