Lindal Kidd posted about this article: FLASH! Sansar Makes the News. This is an article on Tom’s Hardware. This is a site I often visit to find out which video card or motherboard is best for a particular use. I am happy to see they took time to write about Sansar. I checked it out to see if there was anything new in the article. There was!
Quoting from :
Linden Lab is creating its own proprietary rendering engine to make this happen. I asked why the company took this direction rather than use existing options, and was told that the problems the company has run into over the years with Second Life made it clear that the company needed an engine designed from the ground up for this platform.
The company needed the ability to make the creator tools simple to use, a task for which the current available engines are not suitable. Project Sansar offers a whole package, including the underlying multi-user functionality, hosting, assets and tools. Additionally, Linden Lab is designing Project Sansar to be accessible through several different media.
For me this is news. Previously I think most of us thought the Lab was building on top of another game engine, Unreal, Cry, Unity… something. But, here we find out the Lab is building its own game engine. Wow.
