FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 25, 2014
MADPEA GAMES RELEASES ITS FIRST ADULT HUNT
Hunt heading to be the biggest and best in MadPea History
MadPea Base, Second Life, October 25, 2014– On 1st November MadPea Games will be releasing a brand new concept for in-world games and hunts….Blood Letters.
Gaia Clary is asking what they concentrate their efforts on in regard to the AvaStar program. See: Decide about the Future of Avastar and vote for your choice.
This Friday was the Third Party Developer’s Meeting. Oz Linden and other Lindens spoke for about 26 minutes telling us what was coming and where things are in the release pipeline.
Today the main viewer remains 3.7.18-295539.
Friday saw the Lindens putting out a new Benchmark and HTTP RC Viewers.
Benchmark Viewer version 3.7.19.295759 – This is the viewer that does away with the GPU Table. Note, Today (10/25) the Alternate Viewers page is showing this as a new RC and an older version as a Project Viewer. Get the newer one. It has all the updates from the default viewer.
Drax has a video on using an iPad and the SL Go service. About 5 minutes.
Not really my thing… book reviews…. but, this looks like an interesting book for those thinking about what we and others are doing in our lives along with how that effects the next generation. This one is a re-make of the original story first published as: Anda’s Game. It is the story of a young girl learning how to play computer games via a MMORPG. It deals with complex economic and labor issues as well as a romantic interest.
There are new group chat servers and new code running. Don’t expect a miracle. But, things should be better. The Lindens aren’t saying anything. They are waiting to see if anyone notices the change.
Yesterday the Lindens were updating the chat servers, which are a backend service. People report having gotten odd chat error messages. Hopefully that was during the server change out.
The Content Delivery Network (CDN) is going to be active on ALL the RC channels as of Wednesday (10/22). Figure that change will be complete by late Wednesday morning. This will put 30±% of the grid on CDN.
It appears it has run well on Blue Steel. So far, no anomalies or problems. If there are no problems in this larger test, I expect this to roll out to the main channel next week. With it we will probably see the HTTP Pipeline Viewer rolling out as the default viewer.
