HMM - The Hidden Minstrels' Market soft opening invites members to browse general and adult products. The Hidden Minstrels' Market is an Empire of Ice Themed store where we offer items from candles and creams, to pleasure toys and fizzy baths. We want to continue updating the store's UI for user friendliness and ease of use. The Forums are Evolving...   Right now, our standard forums do not impress us and we're working around the clock behind the scenes to bring a better, more inclusive forum experience, with more categories, better styles and easier navigation. Stay tuned - because in the future our forums will be directly linked to an immersive site-wide experience for all our members. Music, UI, Member pages and more...   As we continue to develop our site, we remain dedicated to creating a unique and seamless experience for our guests and members alike, so you may notice things like different background music in the bottom left-hand corner. A snowy animation. We developed our first two LFP Apps for EOI including the Random Name and Random Title Generators where our users can click to their heart's content to find a 'vulsrian-esque' sounding term for their use! Notes:   As we continue to build, we want to bring focus to creating an entirely new sign-up experience with a profile page and customizable features - including signing up to become a citizen of the known world. Creating an original character and participating in a site-wide roleplaying parallel-event; to allow members to react to the known universe - think MMO/Roleplay universe aligning with the Empire of Ice story, in which your character could have a chance to appear in the graphic novel and react to events in real time between episodes. - CAPTCHA & RECAPTCHA have been updated, now they should only appear for suspected bots, not at every log in and sign up. - THE HIDDEN MINSTRELS' MARKET will have frequent updates with new products. As the shop grows, we want all of our members to have the opportunity to enjoy the store in new and bigger ways. - EPISODE NOTES are comments and details added to the end of each episode by the artist giving everyone a glimpse into their thoughts about the art and the episode. - RELEASE DATES have been changing as we continue production of the graphic novel and settle into a routine. Members are asked to bear with us as release dates become more consistent.

Devlog: Version 0.2.6 Update Release Date: April 4th, 2025 After updating the site DNS records I made a mistake ;( the domain www.empireofice.com was redirecting visitors to the wrong website with a shopify address. In our future updates we mentioned adding more onto our site, like a store to buy exclusive EOI themed merchandise - we realize that as we continue to construct our site, service interruptions will be hard to avoid, but we hope this will be the last significant distraction for our viewers. Regular service should be expected to return within 48 hours. If you have any questions, please contact us at empireoficeofficial@gmail.com or mylittleflowerproductions@gmail.com Thank you for your patience as we continue to expand and grow!
