Web Avatar Ready for Developers

Just in time for GDC Europe 2011: the Open Virtual World client is now "Ready for Developers" who want to build their apps on the Web Avatar platform.

The Open Virtual World client is

• a Web Avatar platform.
• a Concurrent Casual Gaming platform
• a platform where you can build your casual game

The Open Virtual World client has

• an avatar on every web page
• a WebKit based rendering engine
• modules and APIs
• everything a client app needs: protocols, logging, configuration
• open source

"Ready for Developers" means:

• it is working
• it can be used by developers
• it is not ready for end users
• it needs customization and packaging
• it needs gaming extensions and a game server if you want your users to do gaming
• it needs an item shop and inventory if you want to sell virtual goods
• it needs integration with your user profiles if you want to make the Web Avatar as a feature for existing games
• it is not a product yet
• but: it is a working platform for you to make a product
• and: it is free and open source

The Open Virtual World project will soon publish a complete client which users can download. Until then, developers get early access to the platform.
