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… Continue

Death of an Avatar

What happens to your online world when your real-life world ends? When you give it up by choice, or through circumstances such as disability, or even worse, death?

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… Continue

The Capital of Virtual Worlds

I often ask myself where is the center? I appears to me that the Virtual Worlds are scattered. It also appears that the worlds have put aside, for now, a fundamental principal. The power of Unity. Nowhere can the center be found. Each Virtual World claims to be the answer to the social and entertainment needs of the "Greater Society". Each have made progress toward their individual objectives. Some have enjoyed impressive success while others have failed.

Virtual Worlds, the… Continue

Michael Wright: A re-print from the “Corsair” of Santa Monica College 10/4/09

Michael Wright: Legendary Virtual Artist Speaks

Peter Yoon

Issue date: 10/4/09 Section: A&E

Imagine if you will, the majestic seascape of Santa Cruz. Its swirling currents licking at the heels of surfers that brave the waters. The clash of each frothing wave captured in the heavy brush strokes of German expressionism.

The unique tints and hues merging together to display the harmony of man and nature. As you sit and watch in awe, you are overwhelmed with the… Continue

Theft in Virtual World

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

We’ve all heard the phrase before, and if used correctly, it’s always used sarcastically. Any content creator or business owner in Second Life knows that there is nothing more frustrating, annoying, or downright infuriating than a content thief. In a virtual world where you can be anything you want to be, create anything you want to create, and live any life you want to live, I have to wonder: why do we still have copy cats?

A… Continue
