The admins of MunkeyNuts are finally putting to rest the community that Guy started a good few years ago. It's been a rough ride for the last year or so and I'm sure there are some people who are glad that the matter is finally being closed up.

Anyway I am posting here to say that because luck has favoured me in so much as the timing of this announcement I have decided to bring my own game development portal forward to help smooth the fading out of Munkey Nuts.

And thats just
half of the list, I'm sitting here looking at another half A4 page of bullets that I haven't even typed in.
Thats just the start, a year from now my team plans to have a publishing company for indies setup and ready to roll. It's a great time to be an indie, don't waste your opportunity, or your life.
