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.
