2012 – New Year, New Stuffz
So we got 2012. The year that will end the world .. well according to people who still blame the Mayans for not finding a stone that was big enough. Silly when you think about it. The world will end when it ends, end off.
2012 – What will it bring? First of all I’m starting to find this new years nonsense boring and maybe its really just an excuse for getting drunk. I’m Danish, we don’t need excuses. We can get drunk at any time of the year.
Ok .. 2012 …Lets see if we can make a list. Really don’t like doing it cos I should be de-stressing and not making a list that just grows and grows and the more it grows the more stress I get and the less will be done which in turn makes the list grow even longer .. aaaand … *sighs*
Yea yea I’m rambling, when do I not?
Ok .. InWorldz is looking at a very very busy year and Tranquillity announced just a few days before the end of the year a new addition to InWorldz ….. Voice …. TaDaaa!
Yes InWorldz will have voice coming next year. Its being tested on the beta grid. Also testing on the beta grid is the newly coded Alpha, Tattoo and Physics layers brought to us by our grid monkey Jim Tarber now his move and the holidays are over. He is currently trying to fix it so any viewers that don’t have the physics coding wont see ppl as a cloud. Of course the Big Stuffz of InWorldz will see the light of day in the new year, namely new inventory system and physics so people can use flying, sailing, driving and so on. Those biggies sort under Tranquillity and Jim will run around like a good little monkey and pick up the bugs crawling around the grid. He just fixed the attachment bug again (its one stubborn bug if I ever saw one) Now please remember when I mention bugs being fixed it don’t mean that it on the main grid as yet. As I understand it the Layers & attachment fixes will be rolled out in a week or two along with the inventory system.
So InWorldz list looks something like this:
- Voice
- Physics
- Inventory system
- Bug fixing including the soon coming Alpha, Tattoo, Physics (bouncing bits) & attachment fix
Now those are the stuff coming for the first months of 2012. Once the big stuff like the Inventory and physics is rolled out and debugged time will come for further stabilising and bug hunting on the grid. Oh and did I mention … I do belive we have a new monkey on the team. Now I didn’t ask Tranquillity cos lets face it when I talk to him I don’t grill him for details 🙂 But his comments on Twitter leave me to conclude that a new monkey is soon to be found roaming the grid.
Second Life is forging ahead with their own stuff. Like gamifying (ok that’s my interpretation) the world. I have to say I do like Rodvik but as far as “getting” Second Life, I always had my doubts and those doubts seems to be confirmed as months passes. Its been a year and Second Life don’t seem to be more stable rather the opposite. The Mesh Linden Lab introduced in 2011 was a flop and residents had to go and hire an ex-Linden to come and fix it. Yes I’ve lost faith in Linden Lab and SecondLife as a whole. Sad but Linden Lab seems like a train just driving off the tracks and not seeing it, or maybe not caring if they do. Rodviks “speech” blog left a lot to be desired and was in my opinion just some wishy-washy stuff that wont entice anyone that has left Second life to come back or for those still in the world to invest further. To be brutally honest I could sit and dissect the blog from Rodvik but even that I can’t be bothered with, maybe later maybe not.
Other grids in the metaverse seems to be chucking along. I havent noticed any big news from Avination, 3rd Rock, OSGrid. Granted I havent been looking either. A few new kids on the block is popping up here and there but that is about it. Oh feel free to add anything in the comments remember to include links.
Out in the Physical World lots of things going on.
I’m expanding my therapy, changing school, looking at starting serious studies after summer, looking for a house to rent cos living where we are now is driving me bonkers, few trips planned to england … Thats about it.
Hope you all have a great 2012.. Im suppose to say that but really just have a great life, do no harm and work for a better life for you and others.
