ResLive, Web-Based Virtual World from OpenSim/SL Innovator, Getting Big Update Next Week
ResLive is another web-based 3D virtual world with a Second Life-related history, and I just learned it's having a big update next week. Created by Adam Frisby (known as Adam Zaius in Second Life), a major land owner in SL and an early developer of OpenSim, the graphics and load times look a lot smoother and load faster than when I first wrote about it in 2010. (That's me above earlier today, during a brief visit.) Mainly developed as a 3D space for live music online, the ResLive fan page on Facebook has over 5,000 followers. "[Next] Tuesday," one of the latest updates says there, "we're going to be relaunching ResLive under a new brand with a whole bunch of new kickass features. Stay tuned!" Indeed.

This is NOT web-based. It requires installing a viewer plugin, which at this time isn't even available for all platforms.
Maybe the developers of this game should take a look at Cloud Party and figure out what "web-based" actually means.

My experience? Nice sign-on page. Until Unity comes out with a Linux version of their plugin, that will be the sum total of my ResLive experience.

@Masami- why you say that?
is odd that web-based these days is defined by the program/viewport used. ie a mainstream browser. that is not defined by the protocols
