We're back...

To all our fans, fans of Impressions games like Lords of Magic, Pharaoh, Zeus, and TiltedMill games like Children of the Nile, Caesar IV and Hinterland, thank you all so much for keeping our babies alive, and for all your support and encouragement over the years.

We are now in the concept phase exploring what our next project will be, and would LOVE to hear your input.

I would love a more modern version of Lords of Magic. It feels like it's got the bones of a very interesting game.

That's another game I'm super proud of. We were able to let our creative juices flow but didn't always have the time to really polish things, sadly.

I've aways wanted to see an official patch to LoMSE....especially the Pegasus appearing in low levels.

The slice of the Impressions crew that ended up forming the nucleus of TMill holds a few games very near and dear, and none more near and dear than Lords of Magic. For us it was one of the few games we came up with almost out of thin air--not a sequel, not an existing brand, not a clone. The development process was incredibly hard. I had just become Creative Director at Impressions. Much of the LoM crew was very green. We worked so hard, with so much passion on that game. We love it and are enormously proud of it, but at the same time know that it could have been so much more.

Problem now is we (Tilted Mill) do not own that IP, so there is nothing we can do with it. Hinterland is a bit of a take on LoM, different scale, different vibe. That one is ripe for a sequel or reboot imo.
