Matthew Warneford posted a blog postWhat do the top 20 virtual worlds have in common? And what can you learn from them?
100% of the top 20 virtual worlds have some form of chat, achievements, and virtual currency. Nearly half (45%) have pets, over 4/5′s have user home rooms, but only 18% integrate with social networks.How do we know this? We meticulously studied and catalogued every single feature in each of the top 20 virtual worlds,…See More
Matthew Warneford posted a blog postYou've built a social game. Now what? Product testing on the cheap, market positioning for pennies, & pirates
Although I've never actually hunted for treasure, popular culture has taught me that treasure maps are not 100% accurate. It seems treasure maps indicate only approximately where the booty might be hidden, but through the collection of clues the resourceful pirate will find his prize.Designing a social game is similar. At the start of the project we use a combination of research, experience, and prototyping to design the game. This design sets the general direction. Only when the game is live…See More

What have FarmVille, FrontierVille, and Facebook's most popular game, CityVille, got in common? All made by Zynga, all very popular, all making barrels of cash, all have the suffix "Ville"... so lots of things in common really. But for this post, we're interested that they share a game design built around a virtual economy. Zynga know that a well designed virtual economy will make a game more fun, players will stay longer, and more of them will pay. That's the good news. Get the economy wrong…See More

About Me
Hi - I'm CTO of Dubit (http://dubitplatform.com), we're developing a virtual world platform designed for creatives.
The Dubit Platform 2.0 is a group of technologies and tools for rapidly developing browser based virtual worlds. We've taken our experiences developing our own world in 1999, and worlds for customers, BSkyB, Motorola, and Cartoon Network, and wrapped it all up into one powerful package.
Contained with the platform are a suite of core features, including customizable avatars, rooms, friends lists, moderation tools, shops, private rooms, payment gateways, chat filtering, scaling, and loads more.
Unique to the Dubit Platform are the tools for creating social activities within the chat rooms, including multiplayer games, quests, narratives, and puzzles. Unlike mini games, these activities happen inside the world, they encourage players to work together, give them reasons to talk, and help them make new friends.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!
