Here's a new tutorial for getting started on Equimake, the new indie platform which enables live, multi-user collaborative 3D building on the web. (Skip ahead to 5:25 for a demo of the multi-user creation feature!)
Since blogging about it last week, founder/lead dev Alex Yevsyeyev tells me nearly 500 people have joined the community, mainly from the US/Canada, but also (surprising him) from over 45 countries around the world -- from Hong Kong to Argentina to Ghana to somewhere in war-torn Ukraine.
As examples of worlds that have been made so far, here's three favorites you can visit:
- Here's the welcome hub.
- Here's a world called "Camping".
- And this one, "Sun Tzu Gallery", was created by an NWN reader!
"It is important to note that Equimake will be free forever and encourages everyone to come and try building their experince on the web at least once," he tells me (and so noted). "The tech entry barrier is very low and the community is growing."
Questions for Alex? Post in Comments below and I'll nudge him to answer!
Thank you James !
I am currently working on Flickr integration and HTML element integration which would allow users to integrate their portfolio / blogs and Web stores into a 3D space. For example, Flickr enthusiasts could create their 3D galleries. However, before I add that, I need more feedback from people, to know if I am in the right direction, because I want to have appropriate moderation around 3rd party integrations.
If anybody has a use case that is not covered currently on Equimake please send me email at [email protected] or come chat with me in-world at Welcome Hub!

I have added 3D Text, Imgur & Flickr integration as well as Sky configuration - empowering creators to build their 3D galleries on the Web for free.
Imgur and Flickr integration allows users to create interactive 3D galleries and 3D text can be used to leave contact information or can be used as a greeting message!
