We accept bitcoins!

by Johan Strydom

Another week has passed and we are closer to start inviting people for membership. Stay tuned.

We also accept bitcoins! You heard right! Send any donations our way using the following address: 1CZp9cDPkvp32HaXmsivCYdrqHTZX5D32a

South Africa has it's own bitcoin exchange (bitx.co.za) and we can say with surety that it is possible to send money via Namibia to RSA, and vice versa, without any problems. Also check out the bitcoin forum for South Africa.I would also like to thank Timothy Stranex from BitX for initiating and running the first test.

Peace out.

Made in Namibia, Terms of Service

by Johan Strydom

Today we added "Made in Namibia" to the footer. We also added a link for our Terms of Service.

I would also like to take the opportunity to talk about sustainability. For us, freedom and sustainability means having the ability to make decisions without being dependant on others and without being forced into making a decision just because someone thinks it is the best course of action. All of us here have the freedom to set a goal and decide how to reach it, however long the journey might take. Sometimes there are risks involved in that we might make the wrong decision but I think we are mature enough to accept that risk.

We must not forget that we are unified in the fact that we have the same goal and that goal is Video Game Development. I.e. To create games and keep on making them better! However, every single person's circumstances are different and that should be something that is respected by the whole community. There is nothing wrong with the fact that some people just wish to tinker with the tech behind video games!

So, sit back and enjoy the ride because the best is yet to come!

New design, stable framework

by Johan Strydom

Welcome to the new design. We are proud to say that the foundation has been laid and the framework is up, running and stable. From here on out we can start with the implementation of features. It is never easy to write something from scratch because it come at a cost of time, however we have total control now an that makes it worth every line of code.
