Plus there aren’t many game development platforms where you can take small steps to building things that provide a RL cash return.Įach year more first time users come to the Internet and computers. I don’t recall the Unread’s SDK being multi-user, but I am very much a novice with Unreal. SL has the advantage of having people inside the ‘tool’ to help you. Second Life is in position to be the top step in 3D modeling before going into game development systems like Unreal’s SDK (Software Development Kit). I think Minecraft, Patterns, Creatorverse, and Blocksworld are the training grounds for advancing into 3D modeling. Then try to explain what SL is and why they should spend the time learning, especially when our culture has no way to describe what SL is. Minecrraft’s popularity is another example.īut, take those same people and give them a Second Life Viewer with over 3,000 controls, building tools, and new concepts like Land Impact and modeling efficiency. Consider some of the amazingly complex and large Farmville creations people have made.
I think there is a large audience that is interested in creating. So, Second Life should have possibilities and appeal to such people. In recent Metaverse podcasts Gianna has talked about explaining what Skyrim would be like if one could build inside that game. So, how does one get more people interested in Second Life? I think we can reasonably suppose Patterns, Creatorverse, and now Blocksworld are the other sources directions.īut giving up on the huge investment that Second Life is, is probably not an option. That is simple diversification verses one basket planning. They would also be looking for other sources of income in case they can’t. So, management in such a case would be asking how does one turn that around. The number of regions people are paying for is decreasing. While I don’t have the stats in presentation form yet, Second Life to all appearances is slowly losing users. Plus it is earning them millions of dollars per year. The company has tens of millions of dollars invested in the creation of Second Life. Management is likely concerned with where their primary cash cow, Second Life, is wondering off to. I can’t know, but I believe there is another less obvious direction. Creatorverse is an obvious example of the Lab moving in that direction as is this acquisition of Blocksworld. I think it is obvious the Lab wants to compete in the mobile computing/gaming world. The official announcement about Linden Lab acquiring this game and company is here: Linden Lab® Acquires Blocksworld. One of my thoughts was when will someone build this game in Second Life?
