Starting tomorrow (February 27) at 9am PT, the community of Sinespace (a media partner to this blog) are unveiling Discovery Island with a grand opening festival. Hosted by Mimi Marie, it’s a weekend of fun events (schedule below) featuring many of the best creators and designers working on the platform, and prize giveaways worth up to 10,000 in Gold.
To join the festivities, simply launch Sinespace, search Discovery Island in Explore, and teleport to the action.
Mimi tells me she plans to host regular events on the island:
“The main purpose of Discovery will be to have a place off the main Welcome Center directly to Discovery for new members to learn how to dress/dance/create/meet/socialize in a comfortable atmosphere while having fun.”
That includes a new Texas Hold ‘Em poker table recently created by Hinkley Engineering. While the poker chips aren’t real virtual currency, players will still get to play for winnings: “I will be offering gold prizes to winners as we start creating more game table events,” says Mimi.
Join Sinespace’s Discord for help and advice from the community.
I am amazed who's still sponsoring development of this sinespace. Each year when i log in - there's nothing to do in there, noone is there either, except some devs maybe. And this goes from year to year. Nothing is changing. I bet developing virtual reality you lose a reality check i guess?

There's a pretty active community of users, check out the official Discord.
Sine Wave the company behind Sinespace (full disclosure: a media partner to NWN) has also leveraged the virtual world platform as a meeting space for big orgs and companies. The Wall Street Journal featured that aspect last year: https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2020/05/breakroom-sinespace-wall-street-journal-events-remote-teams.html
