After we release our shareware standalone ChipWits we are going to dive right into creating an online ChipWits game community.
Margaret and I spent a lot of last year working on GODinabox to build a Flying Spaghetti Monster-centric* online game world. We did a lot of learning about online game communities and I got a good start on coding the guts of our game platform.
My last paying gig was as Demo God in Microsoft Research’s Virtual Worlds Group right before I became disabled 9 years ago. Margaret designed one of the first worlds that ran on the VWG platform.
So it’s going to be very cool to see where we can go melding my** first game with an online community.
