Xulu Universe--more competition for AW (Community)
Xulu Universe--more competition for AW // CommunitycanopusApr 12, 2001, 7:10pm
Daily Radar recently ran a feature article on the Xulu Universe
(http://www.dailyradar.com/features/game_feature_page_2597_1.html), a system of worlds that can be visited online or in VR entertainment centers. The Xulu Universe has been under development since 1995, and is expected to open during 2002. If you go to a Xulu entertainment center, you can travel from planet to planet in fullsize "pods", looking out through window screens. If you play Xulu online from home, you can explore via your computer screen, like in AW. Xulu is based on a physics engine, which means that its worlds and objects are user-deformable. So online users can expect to build online, adding to the readymade cities on the Xulu planets. There is a lot more information in the article, and some downloadable movies are attached to the article. |
