We hope Third Epoch:Rising provides you with some holiday entertainment this season break. We'd love to hear your impressions on our first release!

Stay tuned for the App Store link!

Blitztream is now raising funds on Indiegogo for #ThirdEpoch, a new epic mobile game created with the vision of an optimistic future. Help to bring out this game by backing us. We've got some great rewards.

Our Indiegogo campaign for Third Epoch goes live next Mon, Oct 7, 2013. Mark this date in your calendars and check here or our web site for the link to the campaign page!

Travel the stars, trade and earn resources, build ships, and take on missions to chart new phenomena and save planets.

Our revised release date is now set for mid to late Feb 2013. We appreciate your patience and look forward to sharing more as things develop.

Happy holidays from Blitztream!

Hi everyone - thanks for your patience. The last parts of our app are taking a little longer than we originally expected (isn't that always the case with everything?) but we are only a matter of a few weeks away from finishing Rising. Being small and independent, we don't always have the raw resources to throw at a game the way the big studios do. But it does mean we have complete creative control over what we create. We are working hard to release Rising as soon as possible, so stay tuned!
