Ken Rigby (Tele3DWorld/MellaniuM/InterVerzaL) Immersive Environments using Web.Alive

There are game engines, originally created for development of computer/video games, which can be used for non-game virtual worlds. Unreal Engine (UE) by Epic Games ( http://www.unrealtechnology.com ) is probably the strongest, robust and most popular. UE is a complete 3D development framework for PCs, Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, providing a vast array of core technologies, content creation tools, and support infrastructure. Main features of the Unrea… Continue

Jay Moffitt EULApalooza

That’s right, I said it. Mysteriously, most of the sites that list EULAs that I use as reference have dropped away over the past year or so. All of these EULAs that I am sending your way are off the publisher’s front page, no deep-linking, and no commentary at all. Enjoy and use this as a resource for your gaming decisions.

Charles Gatlin What Will the Future Be Like if the Virtual Worlds Remain Scattered?

The question will simply not go away. Web3D is happening now. As we immerse ourselves in our various virtual spaces each day whether it be for work, collaboration, conferencing, social networking, medical research, marketing, running a business, shopping for a car, etc...- Have we considered the cost to ourselves and others who have not yet experienced the benefits of the Virtual experience? I don't like to sound like a killjoy but unless the Virtual Worlds take their rightful place among the o… Continue

Jay Moffitt Transparency in Video Games

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”. You know what movie that is from, right? There is a very interesting article on The reticule that talks about this concept. Personally, I loved the idea that “The main tenet of their design is not playability but profit and, while this is true of most every game now, they do very little to hide this. The level grind, the uninspired quests, the ludicrously hard boss fights, it all comes together to make you shell out more money for less gratifica… Continue

Matthew Warneford What are players doing in a three week old virtual world?

We've been pretty quiet on the blog for the last two months. But, don't panic, we've not been kidnapped, we've just been busy launching a new virtual world for girls, Brit Chicks! The launch has gone great. In the 3 shorts weeks since opening the doors the world has already attracted over 55,000 players who have cumulatively spent more than 4 years in the world! I thought it would be fun to share what these 55,000 people have been up to. And,… Continue
