Patterns

Bits of Second Life 2014-41 #3

Linden Lab has announced they are going to stop development of Patterns, their version of Minecraft, but prettier.

Those that purchased it can still play it. But, the server side functions will no longer work (sharing worlds).

So… was it just not providing the rate of return needed… or did the Lab want the Pattern’s developers for development work on SL2?

Second Life and Oculus DK2

Jo Yardley saw Ebbe Altberg/Linden in 1920’s Berlin. He was testing out the Linden Lab Viewer for Second Life with Oculus Rift DK2 support. She also caught his Tweet about having the viewer out next week. I assume he means ‘out’ as in a new RC Viewer update.

If it is as an RC Viewer then I expect it will have the new CDN and HTTP Pipeline features included. But, that is just my guess. The CDN and Pipeline features are probably 2 or more weeks from making it out to the main SL Viewer. But, they would be a BIG plus for an Oculus RC Viewer.

Linden’s Patterns Password Recovery

You can’t! Want to see how bad it is? Watch the video. You only need to watch the first 5 minutes. The rest is all in the same trend. WARNING: Bad language. [youtube j3FI69sNE8A] Yeah, I forgot my password too. It never occurred to me that Linden Lab would not provide a way to recover … Read more

Linden’s Patterns Gets Materials

I seldom play in Patterns. I did notice that Patterns got a materials editor. It looks pretty neat. I have yet to play with it. But, check out the video tutorial: [youtube vdDVA1OlVts]

Linden Lab is running a contest for Patterns users. See the image that came in my email. Then link over to: Alienware Arena Patterns Image Contest.

OH! WAIT! Patterns has gone multi-player… see the video after the fold.

Patterns Game 2013-21

2013/05/23 by Nalates Urriah

For whatever reason I decided to check out Linden Lab’s™ Patterns. I haven’t followed it. So, I may have missed things. But…

It has changed a bunch since I last played with it. It has improved quite a bit. More of the controls work as toggles. The worlds I can play in have changed. There is a planetoid world. It has spherical gravity, meaning I can walk on all sides of it. You see the planetoid type world in the opening screen image. (Its out of focus in the opening screen)

The opening panel hints at things to come, I think. There is a choice for Single Player, which I assume means a multiplayer version is coming.

Patterns Updates with New Worlds

2012/12/27 by Nalates Urriah

I was looking at patterns today and saw it had a new update. It is showing as version 01F (49936). On the NEW screen are listed; ProtoWorld2 – The previous world Beta testers started with, Barren Plain – a new flat world, Red Bluff – a new vertical world, and Hanging Gardens – a fun build no doubt made to give people and idea of the possibilities.

I had to learn to jump to get the materials I wanted. I also found collapsing shapes behave a bit differently.
