<section>
<p><em>Achernar</em> is a European indie development studio based in the Capital Region of Denmark. 🇩🇰</p>
<br>
<p>We aim to develop high-quality video games and software alike, and we believe that all technologies should be for humanity as a whole. We therefore publish all relevant source code for our products.</p>
<br>
<p class="note">See footer for contact information.</p>
</section>
<h1 id="anchor.vision">vision</h1>
<section>
<p>The goal of <em>Achernar</em> is to promote modern and robust software for everyone. In other words, our vision is to develop a human and clean industry and community for technology.</p>
<br>
<p>We believe in a society free of patents, and as such we release our scientific software in open-source form. For our games, we try to keep the base engine as open as possible whilst still keeping in mind that they yield our main income.</p>
</section>
<h1 id="anchor.roadmap">roadmap</h1>
<section class="fullWidth">
<p>Currently, our roadmap is as follows:</p>
<br>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Complete the webservice before <em>autumn, 2024</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Release our first game by <em>2024</em>, as well as company merchandise in some form</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Release early-access for Bowshock (on Steam) by <em>2025</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restructure to a normal sole proprietorship</p>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
<p>This roadmap is, however, subject to change, altough we do strive to live up to it.</p>

<p>As <em>Achernar</em> is currently registered as a PMV (lesser sole proprietorship), <em>Gabriel Bjørnager Jensen</em> is currently our only member.</p>

<h1 id="anchor.inception">inception</h1>
<section>
<p><em>Achernar</em> was incorporated on the first july of 2024 by current sole proprietor <em>Gabriel Bjørnager Jensen</em>.</p>
<br>
<p>Our domain – <code>achernar.dk</code> – was already registered in the winter of 2021, at that time being used for hosting on-line source code repositories. This was, however, quickly outsourced to <code><a href="https://mandelbrot.dk">mandelbrot.dk</a></code> after I had managed to secure that domain.</p>
<br>
<p><code>achernar.dk</code> was then, in the mean time, used for hosting a few look-up references. This mostly served as my own notes for school – mainly mathematics, physics, and chemistry – but quickly grew unorganised and unmaintained, although I did have plans to expand the lexicon.</p>
<br>
<p>The idea of a company had started in the spring of 2020. At that time it would've been named after the binary system <em>Sheliak</em> (Bayer: <code>β Lyræ</code>). But it was this idea that evolved into <em>Achernar</em>.</p>
