<p>Before and during Second Life, I have worked as a dev on a number of mod projects along side commercial games, including Pirates, Vikings and Knights II ( one of the top mods for the Half Life 2 engine ).</p>
<p>My experience is that a large number of mod developers just dont understand that SL is a streaming world. They dont understand the architecture and therefore expect it to perform as well as a clientside install pack architecture - such as mods created on valve's source engine. In this respect, those developers ( and this applies to many professional game developers too ) see SL as a platform that delivers poor user experience and very limited graphical immersion.</p>
<p>However, in my experience, those who do understand its architecture admire Second Life greatly and really get into the idea of "Bebop Reality" as you call it in your book Hamlet. The real time collaboration and improvisation of the environment. I think this thread illustrates more and more people are "getting" that. </p>Widget Whiteberry commented on 'Facepunch Versus Second Life'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef00e553e49e6088342008-08-01T14:52:45Z2008-08-01T14:52:45ZWidget WhiteberryThat Facepunch thread is quite the focus group, not withstanding the appalling attitudes towards furries, who so far as I...<p>That Facepunch thread is quite the focus group, not withstanding the appalling attitudes towards furries, who so far as I know, are not unlike the rest of us.</p>
