First Collaboration Between Multiverse and Metaversatility Launches

We reported at the beginning of April that Metaversatility was using the Multiverse platform to build quick prototypes of virtual worlds. While there was a definite push towards enterprise use, the service is available for all types of worlds---and Metaversatility said at the time that it was working on projects for market segments across the board. The first collaboration between the two companies, developed as a showcase, is the casual MMO Robosnow. Multiverse announced today the launch of Robosnow into its network of Worlds in Progress, available for any user to try out.

"Metaversatility is a remarkable company,"  Corey Bridges, co-founder and executive producer, Multiverse, said in a statement. "Where other companies have hemmed and hawed for years about whether or not to build a casual MMO, or whether such a thing was even possible, Metaversatility stepped up and did it – in a month. They're an inspiring example of how the Multiverse Platform can enable true innovation in the new medium of virtual worlds."

Joining eight other developing worlds showcased by Multiverse, Robosnow is still a little buggy (e.g., there's some problems with character creation right now Update: Metaversatility's Peter Haik let me know that there was a conflict with another prototype, but everything's fixed now). It's a demo, though, and Metaversatility plans to continue to develop it as a way to show off both companies capabilities.

"With educational, commercial, and social spaces in development on the Multiverse Platform, it was important for us to develop a public demo," said Matt Daly, Chief Creative Officer, Metaversatility. "It's meant to be accessible, humorous, and modular, as we plan to continue developing it as a pet project."
