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."
