Multiverse - changing the < virtual > world


DEVELOPER MARKETPLACE

Much of an MMOG's budget goes to creating art assets like 3D models, animations, sounds, and so on. Smaller development teams, though, rarely have the money to purchase such content, or to hire artists to create it. Multiverse solves this problem by offering the Developer Marketplace, an online store where individual specialists can participate in the virtual world industry by buying and selling additional assets. Unlike other asset marketplaces, all assets at the Developer Marketplace, whether models, sounds, AI scripts, user-interface packs, or the many other types of assets will work together on a common platform-- the Multiverse platform.

The Developer Marketplace enables a developer ecosystem for all professions. Modelers, sound engineers, UI designers, AI/behavior scripters, even third-party tool developers can participate in the Multiverse revolution. The Developer Marketplace includes not only an online store (with all the standard store features like reputation and recommendation systems), but also want-ads, support forums, and other developer support features.

Further, we will provide a free starter set of assets to be used when assembling a game, including a wide range of content for different genres and an actual MMOG for modification.
