S H A D O W
With the efforts to help clarify things that are a bit hazy with the factory, the Factory staff has been organizing and pointing out places that we need to focus on. One issue was the Companies. Companies are an amazing asset to the Creation forums giving members a chance to organize and have ways to fund and create their creations and sell them on the market. To help continue to improve the Factory, we've set up a list of guidelines for development for companies and their subsidiaries. As always any questions or concerns can be forwarded to my PM box or posted here. Please tag [member="Cira"] and myself when you ask a question to make sure that we see it promptly.
Thank you and happy holidays.
