Update: Streaming running on YouTube now, watch above, or on Sinespace's Twitch here.
Starting today in the Assembly region at around 9am PST, lead Sinespace engineer Joshua May (AKA Karsten Rutledge, creator of Greedy Greedy and other hit games in Second Life) will be answering any and all technical questions about developing and selling content in the Unity-based virtual world (and proud sponsoring partner to this blog). If you can't join in-game, I'll be posting the video stream when it's live. And if you have follow-up questions to anything discussed at the Q&A, please post in Comments below and I'll nudge Joshua to answer when he has time. (And yes, he's this excellent wolf avatar for the event.)
Joshua, by the way, wrote this interesting guest essay for Hypergrid Business last year on developing content in Second Life and what interested him in expanding to Sinespace:
"When you put a product to market in Sinespace, you can update that product on a platform-wide level at any time. If I discover a bug in Greedy Greedy that needs fixing, or I decide to add a new feature, every Greedy Greedy table on the platform gets my changes instantly. I don’t have to beg, bribe, and cajole my customers into updating their products, it just happens. No more customers coming to me complaining about a bug in their Greedy Greedy table that I fixed 6 years ago, but they never bothered updating. The ability to rapidly iterate on product design without having to worry about shipping a faulty product that you can’t undo means you can be incredibly agile with your development process. It also means a drastic reduction in customer service load!"
Much more here. Since porting Greedy Greedy to Sinespace, Joshua joined the development team as Senior Engineer.
Please tell me if it's going to be a replay as I'll be missing it today.
