I came across this. Made by JP Gaming and posted in December 2016.
Well done an no porn. Check JP’s channel. There is a series of SL trailers.
Interesting VR Games
I picked the game form the Top Five listed over on Road to VR. These are rated as some of the best VR games available. I think this is a good example of the radical game play possible.
This next one shows the excitement possible.
There is hope for VR. But, it is hard to know how many people will like VR enough to spend some money.
AvaStar Updates to 2.0-RC12
Apparently, an AvaStar update was released July 3rd. I’m just seeing it today. Download – You have to have purchased AvaStar for the link to work right.
Beautiful, cute picture with Bento hands. The sentiment is debatable…

This is interesting…
Second Life News 2017 w28
The server roll this morning was canceled last minute. I think it was the Package on Magnum intended to roll out. The fix was to reduce problems with the system losing connection with the SL back end. But, something in the update was overloading the SL back end. So… next week… maybe.
The Lindens are unsure what they are going to do for Wednesday’s usual RC updates. The usual deploys thread is mostly useless.
From the Server-Scripting meeting we learn the Lindens are trying to get the package repaired and rolled to an RC channel tomorrow, Wednesday.
Today is Simon Linden’s 10th Rez Day!
BUG-9666 – BUG-100487 – These were brought up in the SS UG meeting asking for new features and data.

Second Life – Machinima Settings
Strawberry Singh has released a tutorial for those making machinimas using the Firestorm Viewer. You’ll find it here: Second Life Vlogging & Machinima Viewer Tips. It is, of course, a video but. It is backed up with a text version too, good for quick reference. Click the image to jump to YouTube.
I use both the Firestorm and Linden viewers for capturing video. I do think Firestorm is a better choice for most video capture scenarios. I used the Linden viewer as I better knew how to use its voice controls. As Learn how better to control sound I am moving to Firestorm. But, I was curious how many of the Firestorm features are in the Linden viewers.
As I worked through Singh’s list I found the Linden viewer has pretty much the same controls. But, they are way easier to get to and to use with Firestorm. If this were a ‘features’ contest, I would say Firestorm wins on presentation.
