Croquet 2 Play

Now that Second Life has more than a million members, it would appear that their idea of a “metaverse” has taken root. However, I think that Meshverse is a more appropriate term for the virtual world paradigm than Metaverse. Consequently, I am shifting my generic new paradigm posting to the Meshverse and confining this blog’s focus to Croquet specific topics. It’s intersting to note that when the Croquet 1.0 SDK appeared in April of this year, SL had about a hundred-fifty thousand members most of whom laughed at critics from the Croquet community. Now that their community has quadrupled and the product significantly improved, they don’t even pay attention. For all it’s shortcomings, SL is filling a vacuum that Croquet hasn’t. That said, I still see Croquet having a big impact over time because SL is greatly constrained by their architecture IMO - nobody likes the frequent client updates and grid downtime. So I am continuing to actively work with Croquet albeit slowly so I don’t expect to post here very often for the coming weeks or longer.
