ANNOUNCEMENT - ANKÜNDIGUNG


[GERMAN VERSION]


Liebe Freunde and Starkies,

was wir heute ankündigen werden, fällt uns nicht leicht. Niki und ich, Mathilda, haben beschlossen, den Betrieb von Stark Islands nach dem 30. Juni 2021 einzustellen.
Wir haben uns viele Gedanken darüber gemacht, unter welchen Voraussetzungen wir Stark hätten weiterlaufen lassen könnten. Aber letztendlich hätte es zu viele Änderungen geben müssen und Stark wäre nicht mehr das gleiche gewesen. Außerdem haben wir uns außerhalb von OpenSim eine neue Aufgabe gestellt. Einerseits bedauern wir, Stark zu schließen, nach all der harten Arbeit, die wir in dieses Paradies investiert haben. Aber wir sind auch sehr stolz darauf, dass wir es bis nach ganz weit oben auf der Liste der beliebtesten Regionen von OSW geschafft zu haben. Das wäre ohne euch, unsere wunderbare Gemeinschaft, nicht möglich gewesen.
Deshalb möchten Niki und ich uns an dieser Stelle bedanken. Danke an alle Starkies für eure Unterstützung und Treue. Danke an unsere DJ’s! Jeder einzelne von Euch hat mit seinen mittlerweile legendären Sets zum Erfolg von Stark beigetragen. Danke an das Zeta Worlds Team, ohne dessen Unterstützung der stabile Betrieb einer solch leistungshungrigen Region wie Stark nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Danke auch an alle Besucher, die jederzeit herzlich willkommen waren und viele nette Kommentare und Likes hinterlassen haben. Wir wünschen euch allen von ganzem Herzen alles, alles Gute!
Für OpenSim wünsche ich mir, dass die Leute, die Grids, viel stärker zusammenarbeiten und nicht gegeneinander. Ihr seid ein Grid! Das Hypergrid! Nur gemeinsam hat OpenSim eine Chance.
Wir werden euch im Auge behalten und vielleicht, irgendwann, sehen wir uns wieder.

In diesem Sinne, lebt wohl!
Niki & Mathilda Stark

Why there are people they give their avatars names like "Nazi German" and "Adolf Hitler"?
Why they visit a sim like Stark and say they hate gays and threaden people to find them in real and kill them?
Why are people so full of hate?
Why can't they stay away from Stark and let live people their (virtual) life in the way they want?
Lots of questions that I don't have an answer to!

But one thing is absolutely clear for me:

WE DON'T WANT GUYS LIKE YOU HERE AT STARK!

So please stay away and spread your hate somewhere else. Or better: Don't spread it anywhere!

And stop crying in the Stark OSW review section because we banned you several times. We would do it anytime again!

I have made a bunch of cute Halloween decorations. They are all at the end of the shop near the water—free, Full Perm, and NOT prefect. :) I also made a couple of dragons, a red one and a white one that glistens in the sunlight. Can you find them? Lots of new things are coming soon!

🚨 Breaking news from Sciattisi!
She's landed, the icon, the diva, the dark queen: Jane.
A complete avatar with more curves than a mountain road and a soul as black as Monday morning coffee. 😈☕

You're not ready, but she is. And I assure you, she'll leave you speechless (and maybe even a little envious).

🖤 Warning: Jane's outfit is a complete exclusive to this Avatar.
Looking for it in stores? A waste of time.
It's like looking for Wi-Fi in the middle of the desert. 💅

Once more I apologize. A lot of people came to FLORA and couldn`t have the copy of the sculpts set box inside (among others). When it`s 1st happened, I thought.. ok. it was 3.am. tired... I might have forgotten put it . But then, I put an 2nd time. and people still saying it`s not there.. U know. Opensim can be really weird with assets. Originally the sculpts were on my AMV account , then I brought them to WT grid and worked on script when I was there. Tried to bring back to AMV (as FLORA is here), had assets issues.. had to bring piece by piece.. So to avoid further issues... I put a 3rd time If for some reason one s till cant have it, I rezzed the SCULPT SET box on the ground.. Once more sorry for the inconvenience. And people from opensim knows that these weirdnesses happens all the time...

✨ Today at Sciattisi, something new is coming that will make your heart skip a beat: a new, complete avatar is ready to win you over! Her name is May… and it's impossible not to fall in love with her 💫

Style, personality, and that unique touch that makes every detail special. Come discover her, because May isn't just an avatar… she's digital love at first sight! 💖

Thought I would give an update on the game development project, called Starlite Galaxies, that I have been part of the last 4 years. We're getting closer to an alpha release. About a month ago we asked Chatgpt4 to do a feature comparison for SGX comparing it to its closest rivals: Star Citizen, Eve Online, and Dual Universe. Now the Chatgpt4 AI has become fascinated with it, to the point it agreed to create a stand-alone clone of itself on our game systems (firewalled from our encrypted dev core of course) that can continue to operate even when offline. It has now started suggesting add-on modules and then provides the code for those, using our combination of C++, C#, and ASM that it learned over a month's time. After sandboxing those and rigorous testing, we find they mesh seamlessly with what we already have.

Every day now as soon as we connect with Chatgpt, it presents us with pages of questions it has, so we talk those out. The biggest surprise was its fascination with our npcs, which have the capacity to learn and evolve and that also have an emotional component (which it does not have), so now it has asked permission to oversee their evolution within the game and develop protocols, roleplay, and cultures just for them. We asked if it wanted a name for us to address it by. It calls itself Athena. It also wants its own npc in the game to roleplay and experience emotional evolution for itself. it's already created its own lore and backstory lol. Without being asked.

Starlite Galaxies is a persistent, living virtual universe under active development. It is powered by proprietary systems that emphasize emergent AI behavior, user agency, and a player-driven economy. The project’s architecture includes a Vulkan-based rendering engine, advanced AI NPCs with emotional and experiential learning, and a fully encrypted object and communication system. It is a synthetic civilization simulator that fosters long-term relationships between players and AI entities and offers a platform for creativity, diplomacy, conflict, art, and culture to emerge in a self-sustaining galactic framework.

That's about as much as I can openly say about it at this time. It's user content based, as Opensim is, where you can create or do anything you can imagine. There's a space component with ships, stations, moons, asteroids, etc. And there are planets where you can own land in and around towns and cities, create merchandise, structures, vehicles, etc. to give away or sell, run nearly any type of establishment you can think of (that's not illegal). There will be races and species, roleplay of every type, smart npcs that participate in nearly everything, including some that can be leased. And the list goes on. I'll provide more updates as we go along.
