Network Issues

last updated on October 25, 2011

We are currently experiencing some network issues. It should only affect very few people as it is just the backup network; however, you may experience some connection issues at times with Package Buddy. We are working to fix this within the next day or so.

Also because of the network issues, the newly created package-buddy.com site will have reduced functionality (logging in) until further notice. We'll keep you up to date, and again, we hope to have everything fixed within the next couple of days.

Thank you, everyone, for your patience and support.

The second app is an absolute necessity if you are a beer lover. It is a social beer rating app; it's name still pending. See a plethora of information on the beers you like and how others have rated them. You can also share your favorites with others along with find the nearest breweries/bars/shops and see the kind of beers they offer. These are just a few things you will be able to do with this app.

New Site

last updated on May 23, 2011

Hello, and welcome everyone to our new website. We can't get away with just a blog anymore, so here is a full-fledged site. Here you will find information about our current projects which span from Android apps to video games.

We are currently at work on providing more apps, and hopefully soon, some games for Android phones. Along with our Android development, we are working on our in-house game engine for video games. It makes use of Direct3D9 and OpenGL 2.1/3.0 for the most part with some work going into Direct3D10/11. We are still working on our graphics technology, but hopefully soon we can also begin work on an actual game.

If you have an Android app that you want developed, but don't have the time or the means to do it yourself, just contact us and we'll work out a plan.

Thank you and we hope your enjoy the new site.
