WorldsInMotion.biz has added a new interview with online world builder Metaversatility, also reaching a milestone of ten worlds surveyed in its Online World Atlas.
The Metaversatility interview
chats to the company's creative director Matt Daly about the
"...full-scale development and consultation company with a specific focus on virtual worlds. While it works extensively with There.com parent Makena, they also develop for the Second Life platform, and will be working with clients on developing for other platforms, like IBM’s Multiverse."
As an example of the kind of design and implementation work currently taking off in online worlds:
"Most recently, Metaversatility built the latest in-world marketing campaign for the Toyota Scion in There, creating and helping conceptualize the design of the three Scion models as large-scale clubs whose interiors users could explore."
In addition, the ten online worlds surveyed by WorldsInMotion as part of an upcoming series of research reports on the subject are now listed in the
Online World Atlas, and include titles such as
MapleStory, as well as a profile
for Sherwood Dungeon and the most recently-added profile,
for Whyville. Earlier popular profile for worlds
such as Club Penguin and
Disney's Toontown are also still available.
WorldsInMotion.biz will continue to report daily on virtual worlds, as it compiles information on this increasingly important market, with more information on research and related announcements due in the next few weeks.
