Interview in Linux Magazine

Melvin Rook (Bamieater) was interviewed by Linux Magazine and talked about Diversia and the Game & Simulation minor he worked on at the university. You can read it all in Linux Magazine, issue 2 of this year.

“In this edition we spoke with the developer of Diversia, an open source virtual world. In an extensive illustrated article, project manager Melvin Rook explains why Diversia has an advantage over existing virtual worlds such as Second Life, which is slowly turning into a ghost world.”

We are still working on the Linux client port, but we ran into strange compile issues. Help is welcome, so we can release soon. :-)

Release to be expected soon

Recently we branched our stable source code and started to work on the redesign. In parallel to the redesign we are working on getting the client and server working on as many platforms as possible. The client is reported to work on Linux and Windows. At the moment there is a ready to use client for Windows and we are working on a compile manual for Linux. The source code is almost ready for MacOS, so it should be easy to port the client to MacOS. The server works on FreeBSD, Linux and Windows.

The stable branch can be found at the following URL: http://xmultiverse.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmultiverse/branches/stable/

Please join our IRC channel (#diversia @ irc.freenode.net) if you would like to help.
