Hey there!

We’re ecstatic to announce that after several years of busking, turning tricks and selling expired prescription drugs, we’ve finally reached our production goal of 1,000,000 EUR!

We consider it to be a great success and an important milestone.

The business received its capital from private investors.

The team is now able to focus entirely on the development of Miner Wars, the VRAGE engine, and other projects yet to be announced.

Keen is setting up office in Prague, and looking to expand upon the current staff base: The company is seeking to hire additional programmers, artists and web designers.

For any vagabonds and unemployed out there, if you’re seeking a job and won’t trash or sell the furniture, please visit – http://www.minerwars.com/Wanted.aspx

Keen Software House’s staff is very pleased with the news. The company is now able to provide a more protein rich gruel for emaciated workers, and instances of scurvy and rickets are on the decline.

CEO and founder Marek Rosa is particularly pleased, citing that since fund-raising is no longer a burden to his schedule, he’ll have enough time to return to programming and finally finish reading New Moon.

To all you die-hard Miner Wars fans a very warm Thank You! We couldn't have gotten this far without you, so while we're in SUCH a good mood, we would like to share it by introducing a new Medal just for those who have supported us thus far: EVERY REGISTERED MEMBER on the forums will receive the First Adopter Award! This will be a special level of distinction among the future generations of Miner Wars players, and all shall know your awesomeness!

The staff is looking forward to your continued support while Miner Wars 2081 continues to become not just a dream... but a dream come true.
