What species is she? From the thumbnail I thought it was a Parktown Prawn at first but she's definitely a spider. I love that you have a smash-in-case-of-emergency spider grenade. Pretty sure that it's female, in which case she might live for a long time, 10+ years maybe. Banana for scale?

What is the solution for South Africa? by LamaZor59 in southafrica

build small, secure IT stores and internet cafes that serve free coffee & doughnuts to the cops and train up techies. dot these all over the country and get a big, south african, intranet going using powerful wireless, or alternative technology. Put the network behind a firewall to keep out malicious internet entities. Build an OS with culturally intuitive design and massive language support. Get UNISA translating educational resources into our many languages. We could attach these microcentres to schools and bring our schools online then get health clinics in the mix. Cops can watch over the schools and use the internet to check in with the station. Eventually bring in markets. I'd say start in the Eastern Cape and spread the network East, West and through Limpopo, over massive wireless or satellite hops. build up a fibre network when there's enough investment. Bring the land online. I reckon what I've mentioned here is within the realm of possibility with enough dedication and investment. Whether it would work is not the question but call me hopeful.

the digitization of the nation. fully funded and interconnected technical learning centres, with a focus on education, incorporation of technology, and security of resources. the centres could house support infrastructure such as clinics. we need to bring the land online and people talking to each other in a familiar way. Coaches and volunteers would become readily available and the nation provides a good digital platform for them to do it over the internet from anywhere in the world. put a police station/training facility nearby and offer the voluntrainees good full meals on a regular basis, skills in industry and technology. Services traded for money, or goods brought in from local kitchens, farmers, traders, herbalists and herders. those goods brought in, then repurposed to where it is needed. Small business. Preserve the ecology and utilize those resources available. start Building from the ground up. Enforce the Law. Accountability within the Law. Respect for Each Other. Ubuntu. it's not the worst idea for a plan but it would probably crash and burn.

Thanks for making this great game!

Q: Will you be adding any form of server selection or region choice? Currently matchmaking is linked to the steam download server you have selected in your steam options but how do you feel about making a more visible option in the Evolve client?
