Useful Links:Project PresentationRoadmapGoalsCompensation -> NoneWebsiteRadakan.orgThe design of our front-page is not yet final, but we believe it already represents what we want to use a front-page portal for: Push all of the project's most recent content and other advances out to the end-user; the visitor. By doing this we aim to show our visitors, old and new, that the project is still alive and strong, while at the same time effectively showcasing as much of our developer-made resources as possible in order to promote their work as deserved.

Why us?- Establishment: Not a day goes by that we do not strive to improve our team- and management-structure. You won't find any "dead" departments dug down in our backyard.
- Good publicity: We're already recognized as a promising and steady project.
- Reliable reference: We make an effort to document and promote all of our latest achievements, both as a project and for each individual developer. No valuable contribution will go unmentioned or uncredited.
- Ready content: Complete concept design, plenty of creative writing and concept art, a growing database of models and enough music tracks to make an album!
- Centered management: Over the course of a year, we've learned that good management is not to be underestimated.
As the team we are now, we have never done any previous work together besides what we have accomplished so far. Individually though, most of the team members have considerable experience and talent, always ready to share it with the rest. Many of our best references are what we've already made for Radakan, which can be seen below.
