This is a little bit about our game. Right now, it is in alpha state, and we need your support to make a beta! Play it at lightapprentice.com

Pre-oder with as little as $2!
Brazilian artist Igor Noronha teams up with The Animation Workshop and Aarhus University graduates to bring Light Apprentice - The Game, a unique Strategy Role Playing Game, to iPads and Desktops!
Amazu.tv is a young, small company situated in Viborg, Denmark. At Amazu, we are a handful of people that want to make the games we wanted to play but that don't exist yet. Thus, in August 2011, we started the making of our first project, a video game called Light Apprentice, based on the comics that go by the same title.
We spent all of our resources into making the Alpha version of the game you can play for FREE right now at LightApprentice.com. Unfortunally, as of now we stand in a position in which we have a great game with no financial means of finishing it!
We need your support to complete the first chapter of the game. We have the system and pipeline up and running, but we need to hire a programmer for two more months (February and March 2011) and a freelance 3D modeler/rigger so we can make the first chapter of the game. 5000 only covers part of it, actually.
Making the alpha proved ourselves we are capable of making a great game out of Light Apprentice, now it is up to you to help us moving this project forward!
WHAT IS ROCKET HUB?
1. RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
2. It's an All & More funding mechanism: if I don't reach my financial goal I get to keep what I raise. But if I do reach my goal, I get access to exciting opportunities."
You can contribute to this project with as little as $2 or with any amount you desire.
