conference – bunnyhero dev / Notes on iPhone, Flash and Web development Mon, 25 Sep 2017 15:44:46 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2 Virtual Worlds /2008/04/04/virtual-worlds/ /2008/04/04/virtual-worlds/#comments Fri, 04 Apr 2008 04:15:06 +0000 http://www.bunnyhero.org/2008/04/04/virtual-worlds/ I am currently attending the Virtual Worlds conference in New York City. It’s quite a fascinating conference, covering full-blown 3D worlds (a la Second Life), browser-based paper doll communities (Stardoll) and everything in between. Flash is well-represented here; if it’s 2D or 2.5D virtual world (i.e. not a full 3D environment), it’s done in Flash, period (no sign of Papervision, Sandy 3D or other Flash-based 3D engines, though).

Today I attended a session introducing Electrotank‘s ElectroServer Universe Platform (they don’t have a section on their website for it yet, it’s that new!). It builds on their successful ElectroServer product, adding things like a high-performance isometric rendering engine, a world editor, and content management systems. It looks very advanced and quite impressive, and would probably give any developer wanting to create a virtual world a solid leg up. I will definitely investigate this platform further should I decide to extend bunnyhero labs in a more persistent-world direction.
