I like to drop a post every now and then on another virtual universe I'm involved in developing, with a working name of Starlite Galaxies. It's a user-content generated world like SL and Opensim, but not based on their code. A complete new game engine has been written from the ground up in proprietary codebase using C++, utilizing the Vulkan API instead of OpenGL. The universe will not be compatible with opensim code, but we are discussing a bridge option down the road to allow opensim users to visit. The game is currently approaching alpha testing for which all slots are filled.

The top shot is a helmet readily available on 3D model sites that we use to test our handling of PBR materials and shaders. This one is reflecting the environment we dropped it in and running at 4910 fps on full blast graphics using a GeForce 3060 card (I believe this is the same helmet visible in the recent SL tutorial on their version of PBR)

The bottom image is an asteroid field with 50,000 physical objects all orbiting a central mass independently of one another. We wanted to find a breaking point, but only got the fps down to 720 fps.

We also are testing on a variety of lower end machines to find baselines for the graphics and physics. But if you want to go full-bore gaming using VR, controllers, joysticks, flight-sim equipment, etc., then all of that capability is already there and working. Probably would only want to use VR with your feet on the ground. We found flying ships in VR was...unsettling.

I apologize if it seems I am spamming you guys, but this creator adsky_pes at Sketchfab caused it by creating this Phenomenal Victorian Pocket watch that I have animated to open and close and it is on a chain that you hold. I have other chains around the store too if you want to wear it. There is a resize script and touch to open and close. If you add a chain make sure the watch is linked last as it is the parent prim. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/vintage-pocket-watch-2e606... I promise this is my last post today!!

"Listen...perhaps you catch a hint of an ancient state of being not quite forgotten; dim, perhaps, and yet not altogether unfamiliar, like a song whose name is long forgotten, and the circumstances in which you heard it completely unremembered. Not the whole song has stayed with you, but just a little wisp of melody, not attached to any person, place, or anything particular. But you remember, from just this little part, how lovely was the song, how wonderful the setting where you heard it, and how you loved those who were there and listened with you.

Here is the memory of what you are.

You know the ancient song, and know it well. Nothing will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn of love you still sing."

Thanks so much to @Amaranthim and @Hairy and all the Bridgemere crew for letting us invade their airspace. Ditto to Dr Dave, the ever lovely Youca and all the Burners for a great train ride.

Upgraded the horse rezzer script from the popular NPC horse rezzer to an "All-in-One" Animesh Horse Rezzer, with a load of features in the animesh horse.
Tip: to avoid the horse from dying, remove the "animesh horse rez" script, and have it roam around an area of your region or parcel, follow other horses, and other options.

One of the major benefits of the animesh horse is that it can cross regions (if allowed by the sim owner).
When you own the animesh horse, you can wear it an teleport around.

Muahhahahhaha…Calling all creatures of fright! It's Wyldwood Bayou Grid's 2nd Anniversary & Rockin' The Blues 11th Anniversary, soooo...

All are cordially invited to join us for a Spook-tacular Hot Daddy's and Rockin' the Blues road trip to Wyldwood Bayou Voodoo Circle!! Are you ready for some Blues & Boos??? Then make your way through our Perilously Wyld Swamp to the Bone-Chilling Voodoo Circle, where you're likely to encounter all manner of ghoulish and gruesome beasties howling to the Tunes of DJ Riker (and his host Amara) from 6:00 to 7:30pm & DJ Kith (and his host Harmony) from 7:30 to 9:00pm!!! We'll bring the tunes, you bring the terror! (Translation--Dress in costume or as you are!) It's sure to be a spine-tingling event & The Tribe will be there to bewitch you--They're dying for you to come!!

(**For your best experience: Be sure to switch to Shared Environment before you teleport in! Go to "World" on the top Firestorm toolbar. Then go to "Environment" and select "Use Shared Environment". Yay!)

Very much apprciated having 25 HG Safari group members visiting WesLorien at ViBel Grid & joining them to visit Hobbiton @ Fred Bekhusen's Outworldz grid.
We had a great time, made a few new connections with the Seconde Vie French community and enthousiatically talked about animesh scripting for wandering animals with the help and a gentle push in the back of a friend who provided the core functionality here https://opensimworld.com/library?view=99
