back in the day when it was all
floppy discs, Windows 98 and dial-up internet,
two ambitious boys decided to create the world's
biggest computer company
Like from when it started, we were just kids in primary school.
We had really high hopes and ambitions for the future.
As 12 year olds dressed in our dads'
oversized suits, we pitched our great games ideas
to companies like ICL and Compulink
So during our times, we did try approaching different
companies. I think we were in Form 2 at the time. Companies like ICL
Compulink, Seligate, with different technologies and different things at the time.
We never sold any software but we gained a wealth in ideas and experience.
It wasn't just about IT but it was more of
newer technologies... mostly games development...
We both went on to secondary school and university
Kudzai studied Games Programming at Greenwich University
and I study 3D Character Animation at Staffordshire University.
On finishing, Kudzai returned to Zimbabwe
and officially began SMC
We were incorporated on the 16th of September
2009
so... that actually makes us 5 years old.
I continued my studies and gained experience in some of the largest visual
effects houses in London
working on projects like "Transcendence" and "Godzilla"
2010... the world got to see
AVisPar for the first time. At that time
we called it the "SM Visual Package" and
with its novelty and everything involved in it,
we were basically now trying to drive
this new technology to actually be useful in industry
over the last five years, SMC has grown spectacularly
launching projects like AVisPar,
SM WebCreate, ZiMagic and MozVida
that included as well...
animation... that included as well, games development which we started on...
year-on-year we have won awards showcasing our talent
hard work and determination...
