This is what I’m doing right now, instead of trying to work online. I probably can get online tonight, but no… I’m in the GODD engine in my new River World I, which is an orb where you’ll be able to take various types of boats up-river. Sure, it sounds the same as in Second Life, but it isn’t at all like Second Life, and I’ll explain why:
Our GODD ® development team — Dick, Claude, Barbara and I are the whole shebang at the moment — have been working for the past quarter century to create the engine we now have at our disposal. It is flawless, the movement smooth and fine, the visuals clear and easy on the eye and the effects are truly awesome, as in “colliding galaxies”.
What Dick has just given me is a new GODD engine that allows me to build a boat, ship, railroad car or whatever out of “prims” or what in GODD are called “rboxes”. I can attach them to the main conveyor and all the prims will travel with it. Try to understand — I’m not wearing the box, as I would in Second Life. I’m on the box and as I propel and steer it, a whole gang of avatars can walk around on the boat, dance, sing, stand at the bow or stern and observe the passing landscape or seascape. It’s not poseballs attached to your armpits, which is by & large what you get in Second Life — it’s a solid boat under your feet, something you can walk around on with dozens of other avatars while it’s paddling its way across the water upstream or across the Endless Ocean.
With some luck, I’ll get a stern paddle-wheel and a steam funnel and stack for my Mark Twain Riverboat sometime soon from Claude, our Model-Maker.
I hope folks appreciate the elegance of this engine. Dick will be working on the collision factors so the boat doesn’t roll over the land — that’ll be happening today, if time allows.
See You At The Top!!!
