We're actually just under three weeks away from the launch of the Of Sense and Soul Kickstarter now, and we couldn't be more excited or terrified! There are lots of preparations still to be made, including making sure the demo is in ship shape. And, well, the 2.5 update is here now, so it's on to the rest of the preparations for me!

Mark your calendars for July 12th or July 13th in your local time zone, because the campaign will start then and there!

Follow our Kickstarter Pre-Launch to be notified when it starts on Wednesday, July 12th at 8:00PM EST
